Over/Under for first Trump joke at tonight's #GoldenGlobes: 38 seconds

Well, it was a little longer than 38 seconds but President-elect Donald Trump was the target of a few jokes in host Jimmy Fallon’s monologue to open tonight’s Golden Globes in Los Angeles.
First up, there was an obligatory joke on Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote:
"This is the Golden Globes, one of the few places left where America still honors the popular vote." –@JimmyFallon #GoldenGlobes

And then there was this joke comparing President-elect Trump to the awful King Joffrey on HBO’s hit show “Game of Thrones”:
"In 12 days we're going to find out" what it would've been like if King Joffrey lived @jimmyfallon is going for it. #GoldenGlobes

This would be the same Jimmy Fallon who was widely criticized by these same celebrities for playing with Trump’s hair on The Tonight Show. Remember the outrage?

Imagine that. All it took was two really awful anti-Trump jokes for Fallon to be welcomed back into the celebrity club.
We live in a world where Seth Meyers may have caused Trump to run for president, and Jimmy Fallon may have helped him win.
