The White House received six inches of snow during the latest storm across the East Coast, which Jimmy Fallon is using as his latest punchline during his monologue on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'.
The Baltimore and D.C. area saw between 3 and 6 inches of snowfall Monday into Tuesday morning, which covered the outside of the historical landmark.
As the White House was blanketed in snow, Jimmy Fallon decided to have some fun by cracking jokes about the President of the United States, Joe Biden, -- and his age.
Jimmy Fallon Uses White House Snow As Latest Punchline
In his recent monologue, Jimmy Fallon decided to talk about the snowfall that blanketed the East Coast, including the White House in Washington, D.C.
"Meanwhile, over in D.C., the White House got blasted with half a foot of snow," Fallon began to say before adding his punchline, "and because of President Biden's age they had to low sodium salt the driveway."
After the audience laughed, Fallon added, "Don't worry, Biden's staff took every precaution to keep him safe this morning -- they attached snow chains to his walker, don't worry, he's going to be fine."

This was not the first time the 'Tonight' talk show host mocked Joe Biden for his age and the cold weather as earlier this week he targeted the 81-year-old by stating, "It’s so cold, Joe Biden’s teeth are chattering on his nightstand. Cold."
Adding, "Cold, really. That’s his alarm clock! He sets his teeth chatter, that’s how he wakes up.”

The President of the United States has been the target of many jokes as of late, including when he mixed up pop icons Taylor Swift and Britney Spears.
Over Thanksgiving week, he said, “Just to get here, Liberty and Bell had to beat some tough odds and competition. They had to work hard, to show patience, and be willing to travel over 1,000 miles."
Adding, "You could say it’s even harder than getting a ticket to the Renaissance tour or, or Britney’s tour. She’s down, it’s kind of warm in Brazil right now.”
He was, of course, referring to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, not Britney Spears, who is not on tour at this time.
Joe Biden Looks Towards 2024 Presidential Run
As the current President of the United States looks towards his hopeful re-election, he addressed the Nation, bringing up the January 6th attacks on Capitol Hill.
"Today, we gather in a new year, some 246 years later, just one day before January 6, a day forever seared in our memory because it was on that day that we nearly lost America, lost it all," he said at the time. "Today, we’re here to answer the most important of questions. Is democracy still America’s sacred cause? I mean it."
"This is not rhetorical, academic or hypothetical. Whether democracy is still America’s sacred cause is the most urgent question of our time," he continued, adding, "and it’s what the 2024 election is all about."
Biden continued, "The choice is clear. Donald Trump’s campaign is about him, not America, not you."
President Joe Biden's biggest competition is arguably former President Donald Trump.
