Fallon mocks Courser scandal on 'Tonight Show'

Jimmy Fallon couldn’t tell the story without laughing.

During his monologue Tuesday on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," the late night host touched on Michigan state Rep. Todd Courser sending an anonymous email accusing himself of having public sex with a male prostitute in an apparent effort to throw voters off the scent of an extramarital affair with fellow state Rep. Cindy Gamrat, R-Plainwell.

“Then his wife was like, ‘Got it. So we’re still getting, like, super divorced,’” Fallon said.

Courser, a Lapeer Republican, has said he sent the email in an effort to expose the people behind a blackmail plot against him.

The House Business Office is investigating whether Courser and Gamrat used taxpayer-funded staff and/or equipment to try to cover up the affair.

The topic comes up around the 2:40 mark:
