�The Tonight Show� host Jimmy Fallon is getting mocked for a silly song he
wrote about the newest COVID variant, which he sang �might be the best.�

�It�s a new strain, but it isn�t the same,� he says of XBB.1.5. �Sounds more
like Elon Musk�s kid�s name.�

The comedian debuted the song Saturday night. �Put on your mask when you�re
inside a facility,� Fallon sang, sans mask. �It could be a robot from a Star
Wars trilogy.�

�Jimmy Fallon singing about how XBB.1.5 is the best COVID variant yet � This
is 5th Gen Warfare � You are under attack,� one person replied.

�Comedy,� former MMA fighter Jake Shields wrote sarcastically of the clip.

�What�s the joke?� someone asked in response to the video, which just
consists of Fallon saying the variant name over and over and comparing it to
other things, like �your parent�s Wi-Fi.�

�The entire thing,� someone else quipped.

�In case anyone wondered why the era of late night tv is over,� another
Twitter user said.

�Cult cringe X 100,� Catturd observed. His comment earned more than double
the number of likes that the original video posted by �The Tonight Show�
received.

This is not the first time Fallon sang about COVID as part of his comedy
schtick. In December 2021, he premiered the song �It Was a Masked Christmas�
along with Megan Thee Stallion and Ariana Grande.

While introducing the song, the comedian said that the previous holiday was
�terrible,� but that �things are going to get better soon.� The song urged
listeners to �get in line for a booster� to avoid being lonely like they were
in 2020.

�It was a masked Christmas, we stayed in the house/We covered our nose, and
covered our mouth,� the chorus said. �But it�s Christmas time/We�ll be in
line for a booster.�

The accompanying music video showed hand sanitizer squirting over everything,
including a turkey at the dinner table.

Also in December 2021, President Joe Biden called into Fallon�s late-night
show to tell viewers it was �patriotic� to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

�The COVID problem, I don�t know what else to do and how else to tell people
to get the vaccine,� Fallon said. �At this point, just, I think people are
going to do what they will, I guess, I don�t know what to say, but is it the
youth that we have to � hope the kids get us out of this? Because, I mean, I
got vaccinated, I got boosted, I got � whatever you want.�

Biden said maybe the �Masked Christmas� song would inspire more people to get
vaccinated.
