The Tonight Show host was accommodating Monday night to the controversial Altman, whose OpenAI is behind ChatGPT. Fallon laughed along as Altman said “I cannot imagine ... figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT.” (https://bsky.app/profile/moreperfectunion.bsky.social/post/3m7ksr3ubak27) “Fallon stayed in affable-host mode—laughing, nodding, softening the edges,” says LateNighter’s Jed Rosenzweig, adding: “Altman’s visit to Fallon’s couch wasn’t the kind of broader cultural vetting you’d get from a Jon Stewart or a David Letterman. Even Johnny Carson challenged his more controversial guests. On Monday, the couch served a different purpose. Altman came to introduce, not defend, and Fallon came to welcome, not interrogate.”
