President-elect Donald Trump has been named Time’s 2024 “Person of the Year,” prompting a couple of wisecracks from Jimmy Fallon.
“Trump is the first man in history to be Time’s ‘Person of the Year’ and McDonald’s employee of the month,” Fallon quipped on “The Tonight Show” Thursday. “History is being made!”
“Trump said the honor feels just as exciting as the birth of his child, except he was present for the award,” he added.
Trump also nabbed the Time award in 2016. The magazine’s editors say the honor goes to the year’s most influential newsmaker, for better or for worse.
