Jimmy Fallon addresses criticism by inviting NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to perform a cold weather joke
After repeatedly using the same joke about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on his late-night show, Jimmy Fallon faced criticism from viewers. He responded by inviting the mayor to appear on the program.
Jimmy Fallon, host of a popular late-night talk show, had been recycling the same cold weather joke about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani across multiple episodes. The original joke, told on December 9th, compared the extreme cold to a stockbroker spooning with the mayor. Following criticism for this repetition, Fallon invited Mamdani to appear on his show.
The mayor made a surprise appearance and delivered his own cold weather joke: 'It is so cold in New York City, the rent froze itself,' which cleverly referenced his campaign promise to implement a rent freeze. Before departing, Mamdani emphasized the importance of safety during the severe winter storm that had recently affected the city, which had caused multiple deaths and significant snowfall.
