Donald Trump sat down for an absurdly softball interview with Jimmy Fallon, where the two conversed about how The Donald’s poll numbers just keep going up as he says more outrageous stuff about minority groups.
But Trump also offered this interesting thought, about the prospect of a general election campaign between himself and Hillary Clinton: “I think it’s gonna be one of the most interesting races.

And that’s a good thing — because people don’t vote that much in this country. So that would be an amazing thing, if that happens.”
Conan O’Brien paid tribute to David Bowie, with a clip reel of the rock legend’s appearances with him over the years. “He was just mind-blowingly talented. But in my experience, he was also an incredibly nice person,” Conan said. “He was fun — he was always funny.”
