President-elect Donald Trump has been named Time’s 2024 “Person of the Year,” prompting a couple of wisecracks from Jimmy Fallon.

“Trump is the first man in history to be Time’s ‘Person of the Year’ and McDonald’s employee of the month,” Fallon quipped on “The Tonight Show” Thursday. “History is being made!”

“Trump said the honor feels just as exciting as the birth of his child, except he was present for the award,” he added.

Trump also nabbed the Time award in 2016. The magazine’s editors say the honor goes to the year’s most influential newsmaker, for better or for worse.

Check out Fallon’s monologue below.

New US House banking chair wants to strip 'calcification' from regulations
The U.S. House banking committee's incoming chair said on Friday he would seek to remove "calcification" and reduce regulations in the sector when the next Congress convenes in January, showing an alignment with incoming President Donald Trump. Republican Representative French Hill, in an interview with CNBC, also said the panel would work on creating a market structure for cryptocurrencies, but added that he was undecided on whether the U.S. should create a bitcoin reserve. "Let's make community banking and commercial banking competitive again by removing some of the calcification in the regulatory system that's made it so hard to be profitable, serve customers and be safe and sound," said Hill, a former banker selected on Thursday to lead the House Financial Services Committee.
