(cheers and applause) >> trevor: yes! and it is also our final show of 2015. a special occasion, as i'm sure you can tell by the fact that i'm wearing underwear. tonight we look back on some of our favorite stories to have the last 12 -- stories of the last 12 months in our end of year review. i was supposed to update that. that's the old -- can you guys change? it's the old -- thank you. all right, so this was -- okay, yeah -- (laughter) are we -- (laughter) oh, yeah, that's right. "star wars" tickets, 26 minutes. let's get going, people! anyway, 2015 was eventful from

the "charlie hebdo" shootings, to the planned parenthood shootings, to the shootings in mali, to the paris and san bernardino shootings. 2015 was a (bleep) year. but a lot of fun stories to remember. remember when a piece of fabric divided a nation. yeah. no, not that one. the fun one. the fun one. yeah. yeah. (applause) 2015 was also strangely the year of 2016. it's the presidential race and the two sides couldn't be more different. on the d. j. side all candidates could get to the debate on one motorcycle. while the republicans, i guess technically they could also do that if they wanted -- (laughter) i mean... and 2015 was also a big year for

gay rights. in june the supreme court legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states! (cheers and applause) yes! that's right! but, unfortunately, some people were unhappy, like the kentucky county clerk kim davis who was arresarrested for refusing to ie marriage licenses as the law required and after a week in jail she had her own coming out party. >> a person whose courage exceeds that of 99.9% of the politicians of this country and, sadly, that exceeds a bunch of even the pastors of this country, would you please help me w welcome to the stage kim davis! (theme from "rocky" playing) >> trevor: that really happened. (laughter) we didn't change anything or add that music. mike huckabee played "eye of the tiger" for kim davis like she

was rocky and gay marriage was mr. t or something. (laughter) it was so insane. it was also a big year for things viral, and for that we turn to jessica williams, everybody! (cheers and applause) >> thank you, trevor. i have been analyzing all of the social-cyber-viral meme data, and this year's winner but a canadian mile was drake and video for "hotline bling." it was a trailer for a man having a seizure inside of a tanning bed. yes, viral media was huge in 2015. how tiewj? "kylie's lips" huge. 2015 was all about challenges including the "kylie jenner lip challenge" where kids sucked on shot glasses to get their lips (bleep) up. they love the sexy lip look.

us, so who am i adding to my bad boy crew?

being on the $10 bill, rachel dolezhal. >> very true, but she would probably make it on to a counterfeit $10 bill. she was of the rosa parks people who shouldn't be associated with rosa parks. >> we all pretended to be black to get into college but this is ridiculous. >> did what? thertheretrevor... >> trevor: thank you. desi lydic and hasan minhaj!
