Jimmy Fallon trotted out his Trump impersonation on the show, with his version of Trump also hitting the stage to [Queen’s “We Are The Champions”](http://time.com/4412672/republican-convention-donald-trump-queen/?iid=sr-link1) before the music segued into Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal”. Fallon’s Trump explained that he wasn’t supposed to be speaking that night, but the keynote speaker, Alf, had to return to his home planet of Melmac unexpectedly (“Sad,” said Trump.) Fake Trump used his time on the stage to comment on the Convention so far. “Did you see [Melania](http://time.com/4414606/melania-trump-plagiarism-stephen-colbert/?xid=homepage)? She [stole the show](http://time.com/4414344/donald-trump-jr-calls-plagiarism-allegations-ridiculous/?xid=homepage), literally,” he said, also complimenting 80s actor Scott Baio (“I’m going to put Charles in Charge of the nuclear launch codes!”). He finished his speech with a noble attempt to name [all his children](http://time.com/4414665/tiffany-trump-speech-pop-song/?xid=homepage) and even wooed younger voters by releasing a Pokémon. Q-bert is a Pokémon, right? ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4414784/watch-jimmy-fallon-hilariously-mock-donald-trumps-convention-speech/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4414784/watch-jimmy-fallon-hilariously-mock-donald-trumps-convention-speech/"},"headline":"Watch Jimmy Fallon Hilariously Mock Donald Trump's Convention Speech","datePublished":"2016-07-20T15:29:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:34:34.585Z","description":"Melania stole the show, literally","url":"https://time.com/4414784/watch-jimmy-fallon-hilariously-mock-donald-trumps-convention-speech/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","jimmy fallon","The Tonight Show","2016 presidential election","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"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/4414784/watch-jimmy-fallon-hilariously-mock-donald-trumps-convention-speech/","name":"Watch Jimmy Fallon Hilariously Mock Donald Trump's Convention Speech"}}]}] ```
