Fallon Finds Fictional Characters People Love More than Politicians They Resemble

‘Instead of Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, people prefer, an Oompa-loompa’

FALLON: "A new poll shows that TV presidents featured on shows like "The West Wing," "24," and "Battlestar Falactica," have a higher favorability rating than President Obama. I mean, come on. But he's not the only politician that people prefer fictional characters or TV personalities to. For instance, instead of potential Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul, people prefer Garfield's owner Jon Arbuckle. I like them both the same. Next, instead of his dad and former Congressman Ron Paul, people prefer Mr. Magoo. Instead of Texas governor Rick Perry, people prefer any male soap opera actor over 50. Instead of U.S. Diplomat John Bolton, people prefer Wilfred Brimley. I mean he's okay. And finally, instead of Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, people prefer, an Oompa-loompa. Who doesn't love a good Oompa-loompa?  Who doesn't like Oompa-loompas?"
