Jimmy Fallon Mocks Fox Nation’s Patriot of the Year Award for Trump: ‘One of Macaroni’s Most Prestigious Awards’

Fox Nation gave Donald Trump its Patriot of the Year award, earning laughs from “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon. According to the NBC host, it is definitely a very “prestigious” fake award.

This year’s ceremony marked the sixth year of the Patriot Awards, which Fox News said are “given to those who have given their best in service to the community and country.” There were nine awards in total, and this year two of them went to people who simply displayed the American flag in public.

Trump himself was awarded the Patriot of the Year award for “having a historic year,” according to the website.

“It’s a great honor because of all the completely made-up awards, the Patriot of the Year award is the greatest,” Fallon said dryly Thursday. “I joke, Patriot of the Year is one of the most prestigious awards made out of macaroni.”

This 2022 awards ceremony was hosted by Trump’s current nominee for defense secretary, former Fox News weekend host Pete Hegseth. This year it was hosted by Sean Hannity.

The award comes just over a month after Trump reportedly met with Rupert Murdoch to ask Fox News to go easier on the then-presidential candidate.
