On Tuesday’s episode of _The Tonight Show_, Trump, played by host Jimmy Fallon, [took the spot of Michelle Tanner](http://time.com/4169471/mary-kate-ashley-olsen-fuller-house-absence-explained/) in the Tanner family. The candidate turned to the [_Fuller House_](http://time.com/4194258/fuller-house-featurette-netflix-behind-the-scenes/)cast for guidance when he couldn’t stop worrying about the presidential race. As the forlorn Trump explained that he was afraid he wouldn’t receive the Republican nomination, Danny Tanner (Bob Saget), Uncle Jesse (John Stamos) and Uncle Joey (Dave Coulier) all chimed in with words of wisdom. “Look, the point is you made it farther than anyone thought,” said Stamos. “No matter what happens, you should be very proud of that.” Aunt Becky (Lori Loughlin), D.J. Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure), Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin) and Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber) then showed up to encourage Trump. But the candidate wasn’t exactly pleased with Kimmy’s presence. “We need to build a giant wall. No more Gibblers,” he said. “A ban on all Giblers until we figure out what’s going on and we make her pay for it.” **Read More:** [Watch the First Trailer for _Fuller House_](http://time.com/4213654/netflix-fuller-house-trailer-ellen-show/) The sketch even got in a dig about the [_Full House_ reboot](http://time.com/4171653/fuller-house-photos/). “I have to stay in the race, otherwise a Clinton will be in the White House again,” said Trump. “I mean, who wants to see something from the ’90s come back in 2016?” _Fuller House_ will premiere on Netflix on Feb. 26. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4227193/fuller-house-cast-comforts-donald-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4227193/fuller-house-cast-comforts-donald-trump/"},"headline":"Watch the Fuller House Cast Comfort a Depressed Donald Trump","datePublished":"2016-02-17T15:50:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:30:07.691Z","description":"\"Who wants to see something from the '90s come back in 2016?\"","url":"https://time.com/4227193/fuller-house-cast-comforts-donald-trump/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","jimmy fallon","The Tonight Show","TV","Donald Trump","Late Night Television","The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon","fuller house","2016 presidential race"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"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":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4227193/fuller-house-cast-comforts-donald-trump/","name":"Watch the Fuller House Cast Comfort a Depressed Donald Trump"}}]}] ```
