Jimmy Fallon haslooked into his election 2024 crystal ball and is seeing politicalattack ads in the future.

The late-night show host spent his monologue on Monday's "The Tonight Show" imagining a potential commercial battle between former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov.Ron DeSantis,who have been clashing as Trump rallies for his Republican presidential run with DeSantis as a potential rival.

In one recent attack ad coming from a pro-Trump superPAC, the group goes afterDeSantis and how he reportedly eats pudding with his fingers.

"That is real," Fallon said after playing a clip from the attack ad.

Fallon then manufactured a series of attack ads between the two which devolved from pudding, to tequila, to Go-Gurt jokes.

"Then the DeSantis super PAC replied with 'OK, yes, he ate pudding with his fingers one time. But only because he didn't have a spoon,' " Fallon joked before playing the fake commercial.

For Trump's faux-reply: "Oh, snap. You just admitted it. Everyone knows that when you don't have a spoon you just toss that pudding cup back like a shot of tequila."

Fallon went on to create commercials for the candidates about tequila, and methods of eatingGo-Gurt before landing on a fake Trumpad calling DeSantis a brown noser.

The final fabricatedadfrom DeSantis replied: "That was just pudding on my face."

Rumors of DeSantis' pudding habit spread after a report from The Beast said that the Republican presidential hopeful "enjoyed a chocolate pudding dessertby eating it with three of his fingers."

TheMake America Great Again Inc. super PAC released the pudding ad against DeSantis in March, tweeting the video with the caption "pudding fingers."
