Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race just weeks after announcing his candidacy has become a source of amusement on late-night television. On Thursday night, Jimmy Fallon seized the opportunity to poke fun at Christie's short-lived political aspirations during his monologue on "The Tonight Show."

Fallon kicked off his monologue by humorously sharing an anecdote about his Uber driver's enthusiasm for the guest appearance of Matthew McConaughey on his show, jokingly remarking, "That's nice Governor Christie, I'll pass that along." With this sarcastic remark, Fallon highlighted Christie's quick exit from the presidential race, despite his recent statement indicating no intentions of doing so.

"He made a goal for 2024 and then quit 10 days into January. It happens! It happens to everybody," Fallon quipped, drawing parallels between Christie's actions and the relatable experience of setting and abandoning personal goals.

Fallon also lampooned Christie's promise to continue working on keeping former President Donald Trump out of the White House indefinitely. This brought back memories of the infamous "Bridgegate" scandal, in which a member of Christie's staff and his appointees collaborated to orchestrate deliberate traffic congestion in an act of political retaliation.

"Christie said, if he has to, he could always shut down the roads leading to the White House. He'll do whatever - he can always do that," Fallon joked, alluding to Christie's previous involvement in the traffic scandal.

Although Christie's withdrawal from the race surprised many, it has now become a topic of lighthearted entertainment in the late-night circuit, emphasizing the relatability of Christie's decision to abandon a self-imposed goal only days into the new year.

Despite the comedic nature of Fallon's monologue, Christie's departure from the 2024 presidential race marks a significant development in the political landscape. As the 2024 presidential race continues to unfold, other candidates will now have one less competitor vying for the nomination.
