Tyler Perry’s Madea is Trump’s new communication director in 'Tonight Show' skit

Madea’s back! The over-the-top character Tyler Perry fans know and love was featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon portraying President Donald Trump’s new communications director in a hilarious skit. 

Mabel Simmons, also known as Madea, comes out, guns blazing, immediately making jokes about the constant firings within Trump’s administration, race, the infamous bus conversation and so much more. Last October, Trump — played by Fallon — got a taste of Simmons when he was making cold calls to undecided voters and happened to end up on the line with her. 

Even though it’s a parody, these clips are sure to make you laugh. And if you’re wanting to experience more of Madea, you’re in for a treat! Boo 2! A Madea Halloween will be in theaters Oct. 20.
