But she showed off her lighter side on the 'Tonight Show.' by [TIME Staff](https://time.com/author/time-staff/) ## TIME Staff Sep 22, 2015 11:58 AM UTC Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina might have a reputation as a savvy fighter—particularly after the last GOP debate—but on Monday night she showed off her warmer side. As a guest on Jimmy Fallon’s _The Tonight Show_, Fiorina chatted about the Pope’s American visit and her own faith. She also talked about her beloved dogs Snickers and Max and even sang a little song she’d written especially for the pups. But her visit wasn’t all sugar and spice: Fiorina did manage to get in a jab at her opponent for the Republican nomination, Donald Trump, saying he had a lot in common with Russian president Vladimir Putin. ## Transcript [00:00] Republican presidential candidate, Carly Fiorina, has [00:03] proven she can be one tough cookie. Case in point, her [00:06] performance in the second presidential debate. But [00:14] Carly has a lighter side and she showed it off for the [00:17] Tonight Show audience this week. My name And I'm [00:21] lazy. Please go take a walk with me. Yup, that was [00:25] Carly Fiorina singing a song she made up about her [00:27] dog. You're welcome. In between chatting about her [00:30] Christian faith, her record as CEO of Hewlett Packard [00:33] and Pope Francis' visit to the US. Fiorina also made [00:36] time to joke about Vladimir Putin and of course, [00:39] Donald Trump. The two of them have a lot in common [00:41] actually, but- [ LAUGH ] We'll just leave it at that. [00:45] Fiorina's entertaining Tonight Show appearance is her [00:47] first late night stop since she sat down with Seth [00:50] Meyers on Late Night in May. And even back then, she [00:53] proved she's willing to laugh at herself and Have a [00:55] good time. So you better be really nice to me tonight. [00:57] [ LAUGH ] Got to love a presidential candidate with [01:01] a funny bone. Especially, one who sings to her dogs. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4044038/carly-fiorina-dog-the-tonight-show/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4044038/carly-fiorina-dog-the-tonight-show/"},"headline":"Watch Carly Fiorina Sing About Her Dogs on The Tonight Show","datePublished":"2015-09-22T11:58:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:32:04.463Z","description":"She also compared Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin","url":"https://time.com/4044038/carly-fiorina-dog-the-tonight-show/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt37d416b9387d4312/6988643635ba6f5acdc0f38f/carly-fiorina2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt37d416b9387d4312/6988643635ba6f5acdc0f38f/carly-fiorina2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Carly Fiorina at the TechCrunch Disrupt NYC 2015 conference in New York City on May 5, 2015.","caption":"Carly Fiorina at the TechCrunch Disrupt NYC 2015 conference in New York City on May 5, 2015.","creditText":"Michael Nagle—Bloomberg via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4044038/carly-fiorina-dog-the-tonight-show/","name":"Watch Carly Fiorina Sing About Her Dogs on The Tonight Show"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Late Night Highlight: Watch Carly Fiorina Sing About Her Dog On The 'Tonight Show'","description":"Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina has proven she can be one tough cookie.
