Cardi B is co-hosting The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon tonight, and she’s really making the most of it. In the opening monologue, Cardi looked straight up ecstatic to be there, going joke-for-joke with Fallon, riffing on her pregnancy and her last Tonight Show appearance, as well as cracking a few jokes at Trump’s expense in a segment called What is Up With That Coat? The segment relied a little too much on fat-shaming to be genuinely great, but was easily made up for with a second segment where a reporter asks moms to complete Cardi lyrics. Watch the full monologue below:
Cardi and Jimmy also participated in a game of Box of Lies? where the two have to lie about the contents of various boxes to each other. Cardi… only kinda understood the game, I think? But then again I didn’t really understand the game either. Cardi’s not an amazing lier, but proves herself as a master of manipulation when she asks Jimmy “You wouldn’t lie to a pregnant woman, would you?” That, right there, is genius, my friends.

During the show Cardi also spoke about her catchphrases and interviewed John Mulaney. In all, Cardi’s hosting stint really solidifies the fact that she is an incredible late-night host and Jimmy Fallon is, well, adequate. I’d love to see a season of The Tonight Show hosted by Cardi or, even better, an All The Money In The World-style Tonight Show re-shoot where all existing footage of Fallon hosting the show is replaced by footage of Cardi hosting the show. Just something to consider, Tonight Show producers.
