Twice-impeached former president Donald Trump hasn’t been arrested yet, but Jimmy Fallon is pretty sure he’s starting to feel the heat. During Monday night’s episode of “The Tonight Show,” Fallon joked that the location of Trump’s first official 2024 campaign rally was the clearest sign of that.On Saturday, Trump stopped in Waco, Texas to make his first official campaign bid to the people and, as always, his speech was full of lies and gripes about how he’s being treated unfairly.

Jimmy Fallon and the eyewear brand Warby Parker are back at it with a new, innovative pair of sunglasses called Flippies. The limited-edition sunglasses, which release today, are black on one side but flip all the way over to reveal a stunning azure blue (or Warby Blue). “I was thrilled when Warby Parker told me they were able to bring my latest idea, Flippies™, to life,” Fallon said in a statement. “I mean, two pairs of sunglasses in one…what’s better than that?” With a rectangular shape, the new pair features a slightly upturned browline, riveted end pieces and a versatile hinge construction so you can flip them over to either reveal the blue or black colorway depending on your mood. The Flippies come with non-prescription grey sun lenses that have anti-reflective coating on both sides.

Despite his claims that it would happen, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump was, in fact, not arrested on Tuesday — but, there is some movement expected to come from the grand jury on Wednesday, and Jimmy Fallon couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that, of all days, Trump might get indicted for paying off an adult film star on Hump Day.The “Tonight Show” host went on a tear about Trump’s possible arrest on Tuesday, first joking that it was being delayed just so “the courtroom sketch artist has enough time to load up on orange pencils.” Fallon also joked that the event is so highly anticipated, “Right now in Times Square, Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen are hosting the indictment countdown.”“Yeah, Trump will be formally charged tomorrow for his hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, ironically on … Hump Day,” Fallon said with a shrug. “Yeah I didn’t plan that! I didn’t plan that.” While it’s not a guarantee that an indictment will come Wednesday, many expect it will simply because that’s when the grand jury is convening again and, at this point, all that’s left to do is decide whether criminal charges are necessary.This case is just one of many ongoing investigations into the twice-impeached former president, and stems from a $130,000 payment made to Stormy Daniels in 2016.

convinced he’s getting arrested on Tuesday and, though he may be calling it a “witch hunt,” among other things, Jimmy Fallon thinks there might be at least one aspect of getting apprehended that Trump is going to enjoy.During his monologue on Monday night, Fallon joked that Trump actually deserves some credit for his Truth Social post announcing his arrest on Saturday, saying that “it’s not often that everyone sends out a ‘Save the Date’ for their own arrest.” Of course, it’s worth noting that’s Trump’s claim was not officially confirmed by authorities, or even by anyone on his own team.In his post on Saturday, Trump wrote that “THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.”“First of all, at least he’s finally admitting he’s the former president,” Fallon joked. “That’s progress.

Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International British film and TV producers can breathe a sigh of relief after months of uncertainty around the country’s tax relief scheme for production. As part of the U.K.’s spring budget, Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt revealed on Wednesday that he’s raising tax credits and keeping the qualifying threshold in place. This is a welcome move for the TV production community, in particular, which has for years taken advantage of a lucrative scheme in which scripted TV shows with a minimum spend of £1 million ($1.2 million) per broadcast hour are able to claim payable cash rebates of up to 25% on qualifying U.K. spend. The tax breaks have helped to elevate the U.K. into a major hub for international productions, yet the scheme has been under review since the fall, causing some anxiety in the production community.
