Zohran Mamdani makes a quick late-night joke about the cold on Fallon

Nbc reports that Zohran Mamdani, fresh off handling a major snowstorm weeks after taking office as Mayor of New York City, made a brief appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon the night of January 26. During Fallon’s cold-weather monologue — which included lines such as "It is brutal out there.

It is so cold my belly button went from an outie to an innie" — audience applause interrupted when Mamdani walked out. "Wait, Jimmy, let me try one," the mayor said, then delivered: "It's so cold in New York City, the rent froze itself — good night everybody." He shook Fallon's hand and added, "But seriously: Stay inside, stay warm, stay safe.

Thank you." The snowfall reached over 10 inches in Manhattan's Central Park, marking the biggest blizzard in five years and one of the first tests of Mamdani's mayorship in his third week in office. He kept the city's 8 million residents informed on snow-plow dispatches and more via his social media platforms, was spotted helping shovel out a snow-buried car in Brooklyn, and urged New Yorkers to take advantage of free access to Heated Rivalry through the public library.
