While interviewing former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Wednesday's NBC Tonight Show, host Jimmy Fallon argued that if the Netflix documentary Mitt about the GOP candidate had been released before the 2012 election, voters may have made a different choice: "Because gosh, it was fantastic. And I was telling you, if you could have had that out, you know, while you were running, I think it would have been a different outcome almost....who knows?"

Fallon added: "But I mean, it was just so – it just showed you on a different side that no one's ever seen that side of you." Romney responded: "Well, Netflix was able to look at the real side of running for office, which is not what the candidate and, if you will, the tacticians are doing, but what the family's doing. So we got to see my family."
