Laugh Track....Hold Me Tinder

NBC’s Jimmy Fallon: “The 49ers played their first game in the new Levi’s Stadium. It’s beautiful. The stadium seats 68,000 people. Unless they leave it in the dryer too long, then it only seats 43,000 people” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 8/18).

Also during his monologue, Fallon noted several "Jets players admitted to using the popular dating app Tinder to meet women. It turns out a lot of other players and coaches around the NFL also use the app." Fallon then displayed various "Tinder profile pictures" of people around the NFL. Fallon said, "First up, we have Tim Tebow. Let's see what he wrote for his bio. ‘Looking for a girl I can get nasty with, A.K.A hold hands.’ Next, we have Giants quarterback, Eli Manning: ‘If you date me, I'll let you meet my brother.’ Next up, we have Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch: ‘When love is in front of me, it's the only thing I can focus on.’ Here's NFL legend John Madden: ‘I hope you have what I'm looking for girl! A turducken. Nom nom nom nom nom nom.’ Next, we have Tom Brady. He says, ‘No, thanks. I'm good.’ Here's Peyton Manning: ‘You know what they say about guys with big foreheads?’ Finally, here's Manti Te'o: ‘I believe in true love and literally anything you tell me’” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 8/18).
