Jimmy Fallon lent his support to Jimmy Kimmel after his show was suspended last week, but this week he’s responded to his fellow late night host’s return with a favorite joke.

“Welcome to The Tonight Show!” says Fallon in the clip above, opening his monologue. “And if you’re tuning in to see what I’ll say about my suspension in the last couple of days, again, you’re watching the wrong Jimmy. Dad, the other Jimmy, dad.”

He’s made similar jokes before, and with Kimmel back on air he probably won’t be stopping anytime soon.

You can see how Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, and Seth Meyers reacted to Kimmel’s return here, and watch Kimmel’s emotional return monologue here.
