Bruce Jenner manhandles Jimmy Fallon over face jokes

Bruce Jenner manhandled Jimmy Fallon through an interview Tuesday night on Fallon’s show — an interview ostensibly booked to clear the air after an unfortunate run-in between the two at the London Olympics, in which the decathlon champ told the talk-show host bluntly, enough with the blanking jokes about my face.

Jenner, of course, has made no secret of his plastic surgery.

“I just want to thank you for being on the show,� Jenner said after a lengthy explanation of how he came to be on Fallon’s stage, “and ... I appreciate being on the show. And now I’m going to rip you apart, OK.

“Oh, where do we start to try to mend this relationship?� he pondered. “Where do we start? This is how we start it.�

“I haven’t said a word yet,� Fallon pointed out. “Keep going, Bruce.�

“And don’t worry,� Jenner said, “I’ve got the whole segment covered.�

Covered, it seems, with retaliation for all those “what happened to Bruce Jenner’s face� jokes. Retaliation that included really bad pictures of Fallon, a description of Fallon as a deer-in-the-headlights type when confronted, and a declaration from the medalist that Jenner’s backside in running shorts would beat Fallon’s in a heartbeat, something the host conceded.

Not that Jenner can’t take the heat, he said.

“I’m from the Kardashian group. We can take anything. We’re like, invincible.�

One problem, though. Kanye West, Jenner said, is pissed. Family and all that, you know.

Thankfully, it ended with a hug and not a butt-off. Watch the interview in both videos below to get the whole story of the clash at the Olympics.
