The Tonight Show host was accused of "normalizing" Donald Trump following his September 2016 interview. "I did not do it to ‘normalize’ him or to say I believe in his political beliefs, or any of that stuff,” Fallon says in a podcast interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m sorry. I don’t want to make anyone angry—I never do and I never will. It’s all in the fun of the show. I made a mistake. I’m sorry if I made anyone mad. And, looking back, I would do it differently.”
