Jimmy Fallon asks Donald Trump if he's ever apologized...ever

In his first late night guest spot since he joined the presidential fray, Donald Trump appeared on NBC's "Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon."

The interview began on a somber note, given that the show fell on Sept. 11 - the 14th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that targeted the U.S., in particular, New York. Fallon, taking note of the fact that both are New Yorkers, asked Trump what the day meant to him.

"Strength," Trump said. "Because the way the city came back, I've never seen anything like it. And the country came back and the city came back. There is a great strength and resilience that we have in this country. We have amazing people, and I think more than anything else, that's what it means to me."

But there was also some levity. Trump, who has been called upon to apologize to for something he's uttered just about every day since he entered the presidential race, rarely, if ever backs down or says he's sorry. And Fallon was curious about whether that's always been the case, asking, "Have you ever apologized - ever in your lifetime? Think back when you were little Donny Trump."

Trump protested in response, "This was not supposed to be one of the questions. We had a nice sequence of questions." And Fallon quipped in return, "I'm like you, I don't use teleprompters."

Trump told the late-night host "They wanted me to apologize because I brought up illegal immigration...I took such heat. But ultimately it turned out that I was right and now people that reported on me are saying, 'Thank you very much.'"

And he added that he would "absolutely apologize sometime in the hopefully distant future, but first I have to be wrong."

The appearance comes on the same day Trump announced that he bought out NBC's half of the Miss Universe pageant and settled all legal suits with the network.

The billionaire also played along with Fallon in a skit that made fun of Trump's personal vanity. Here's a photo from the skit:

Jimmy Fallon takes it easy on Donald Trump

Donald Trump went on Jimmy Fallon's show on Friday night, and he got exactly what he wanted: an easy ride.

In a 15-minute sit-down interview and a pre-interview skit that touched on Trump's plan to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, Carly Fiorina and the rest of the GOP field, Fallon repeatedly referred to the billionaire entrepreneur as "the Republican frontrunner" and passed up one chance after another to ask tough questions about some of his more controversial remarks.

Trump appeared as a guest of Fallon on NBC's “The Tonight Show,” though the host joked in his opening monologue that it should be called “The Tonight Show starring Donald Trump, featuring a guest appearance by Jimmy Fallon.”

The show kicked off with a fake Trump (Fallon dressed as The Donald — complete with orange skin and blonde pompadour) interviewing himself (the real Trump) at a dressing-room mirror. The faux dressing room, a reprise of a skit Fallon once did with Mick Jagger, was full of gold-framed pictures of Trump.

Fake Trump asked real Trump a series of policy questions through the mirror, because, he explained, "The only one qualified to interview me is me.”

Fallon, as Trump, asked in one exchange how the business mogul would create jobs as president.

"I'm just gonna do it," Trump responded.

"Right," Fallon said as he attempted to mirror Trump’s every hand motion. "But how?"

"By doing it. It just happens. Just by doing it," Trump said.

Fallon then shed his costume, and the two met on the stage for the real interview.

The pair touched briefly on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, acknowledging they were both proud New Yorkers. Trump said the day was a symbol of strength because of the way the city was able to come back: “I’ve never seen anything like that.”

The only moment when Trump seemed slightly unsettled was when Fallon asked if he had ever apologized before.

“I fully think apologizing is a great thing," Trump said. "But you have to be wrong ... I will absolutely apologize sometime in the hopefully distant future if I'm ever wrong."

This week, the candidate has gotten himself in hot water for comments to Rolling Stone magazine about Carly Fiorina’s face. (He later said he was referring to her persona.)

But Trump declined to take another swipe at the only woman seeking the GOP nomination, and Fallon didn’t push him.

"I think she's a very nice woman," Trump said, though he added, "I think she's gonna have a hard time."

Trump said the reason his message is resonating is that all the other Republican candidates were the same.

"I think they want our country to be respected again," he said of GOP voters. "I think they feel that if I'm president, I will do some great things for our country, and we're gonna be respected again. ... There's a movement going on, and it's amazing to watch."

Fallon's one note of criticism was when he told Trump that, with his "off-the-cuff" comments, "you get yourself in a lot of trouble sometimes."

"I think you dig yourself a hole sometimes, a deep hole, and then instead of getting out of the hole, you just dig deeper," Fallon said. "And if you keep digging, eventually you might come out in China and be the president of China."
