A news clip from the US Day Time Chicago newscast tells the story of Lindholm’s troubles.
– On the other hand, he took advantage of it. He didn’t have to use any sticks at all during the two rounds. It was really interesting to watch, Fallon jokes.
Fallon expresses his sympathy for Linholm.
– It feels bad for him. He’s been training for years and people only find this when they google him.
The last time Fallon spoke about a Finnish news topic was in December, when he joked about the nightclub bustle of Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin. The uproar was born when Marin had gone to a party at a nightclub without a phone and could not be reached due to a previous Korona exposure.
– Americans were shocked: can you leave your work phone at home? Fallon joked.
