\n\tJude Law<\/a> threw his support behind the uncertain future of late-night in a visit to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon<\/a> Thursday night.<\/p>\n

\n\tLaw, the first guest of the night, was asked by Fallon about his uncanny ability to predict the future in his film roles in the past. Fallon pointed to a few examples with headlines from various publications: \u201cHow the Movie \u2018Contagion\u2019 Accurately Predicted The 2020 Coronavirus;\u201d \u201cJude Law Movie \u2018AI Artificial Intelligence\u2019 Made a Dark Prediction That\u2019s Now Coming True,\u201d and \u201cHow Jude Law\u2019s \u2018The Young Pope\u2019 Predicted The First American Pope,\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tLaw responded by saying: \u201cIf there\u2019s any truth in that, I hope I predict that you\u2019re on the air tomorrow night, the night after that, and all the other good people that present these TV shows.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tYou can watch the full interview below.<\/p>\n

\n\tLaw\u2019s comments followed Fallon\u2019s show opening in which he<\/a> immediately addressed the Kimmel suspension <\/a>saying, \u201cThe big story is that Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the FCC<\/a> leaving everyone thinking WTF.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe then assured the audience that he would cover the President\u2019s UK trip just like he normally would, as a voiceover began dubbing over his words: <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPresident Trump just wrapped up his three day trip to the UK, and he looked incredibly handsome\u2026 His tie was exactly the right length and his face looked like a color that exists in nature, and his hair looked better than Conrad\u2019s from\u00a0The Summer I Turned Pretty,\u201d he joked. <\/p>\n

\n\tOn Wednesday, ABC pulled Kimmel off the air \u201cindefinitely\u201d after the comedian offered his take on the killing of Charlie Kirk<\/a>, after the FCC chair had weighed in and after\u00a0Nexstar axed his late night show<\/a>\u00a0on the 32 ABC affiliates it owns out of a total of 200 stations throughout the nation.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter the decision was announced, President Donald Trump<\/a> praised ABC and implied Fallon and Seth Meyers\u2019 late-night shows also were in jeopardy, writing on Truth Social, \u201cGreat News for America: The ratings challenged\u00a0Jimmy Kimmel<\/a>\u00a0Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to\u00a0ABC<\/a>\u00a0for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that\u2019s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!! President DJT\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTrump had previously called out Fallon numerous times on Truth Social. In July, after it was announced that Stephen Colbert\u2019s Late Show would be ending next year, he wrote: \u201cNext up will be an even less talented Jimmy Kimmel, and then, a weak, and very insecure, Jimmy Fallon. The only real question is, who will go first? Show Biz and Television is a very simple business. If you get Ratings, you can say or do anything. If you don\u2019t, you always become a victim. Colbert became a victim to himself, the other two will follow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jude Law threw his support behind the uncertain future of late-night in a visit to The Tonight Show…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":73932,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[265],"tags":[41120,356,18,7420,117,48775,19,17,9163,7613,8056,27249,50520,128],"class_list":{"0":"post-73931","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-charlie-kirk","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-electionline","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-fcc","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-jimmy-fallon","17":"tag-jimmy-kimmel","18":"tag-jimmy-kimmel-live","19":"tag-jude-law","20":"tag-the-tonight-show-starring-jimmy-fallon","21":"tag-tv"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73931"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73931\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
