NEW YORK: David Letterman said he would have handled President Donald Trump a bit differently than “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon.In a wide-ranging interview with Vulture, the retired late-night television icon discussed the playful moment when Fallon tousled Trump’s hair during an appearance on his show during the presidential campaign.Letterman said Fallon got a “fantastic viral clip” out of the moment, but he “would have gone to work on Trump.” He says: “I think I would be in the position to give him a bit of a scolding and he would have to sit there and take it.”Letterman said he does not watch late-night television anymore and has not seen successor Stephen Colbert’s show.Letterman retired in 2015 after 33 years as a late-night host.
