Jimmy Fallon mocked Donald Trump's attempts to reconnect with Kim Jong-un during his monologue on "The Tonight Show."

"Man, you know you're depressed when you're texting an old hookup from seven years ago," Fallon joked, referencing the president and North Korea's leader.

The late-night host's comments came after reports surfaced that Trump had been reaching out to Kim, hoping to revive their strained relationship. Fallon's quip highlighted the unusual nature of the diplomatic outreach, comparing it to a personal text message rather than formal international diplomacy.

This isn't the first time Fallon has made light of Trump's foreign policy moves. The comedian has frequently used humor to comment on the president's unconventional approach to international relations, particularly regarding North Korea.

Trump and Kim's relationship began in 2018 with historic summits in Singapore and later in Hanoi, but has since cooled amid ongoing tensions over denuclearization efforts and human rights concerns.
