hornets, and the hurricanes the ride was a little bumpy but you won't see that first round win in march madness. they tied and doug buffalo has the luck of the irish and they hit three. and before halftime, halftime, newton gets the perfect pass and james and the bench is starting to feel it. rodriguez has a hand in his

how about this? a nice assist. it is right on point and he knows what to do with it. a 79-72 when that was not so easy. >> especially in march when you play teams that you've never played and you've never seen them even on tv so it is a challenge at first and you can see what - - that it was for us but we kept fighting. >> out west, dissension with teammates shoving each other, that's not good period bad luck as they turn it over against yale and what do you know? they win by four points, their first win ever in the big one. and three forces over time and josh took over with the running bank shot. the difference maker as the trojans

toward a brokered convention where the party bosses pick somebody other than trump or cruz. but who could it be? (cheers and applause) yeah, yeah, i know. but who could it be? jeb bush's name has been mentioned. followed by loud sobbing and the words leave me alone coming from the vicinity of florida. and you have to find a good compromise candidate. and there is an experienced party elder that everyone respects. it's john boehner. who thinks we should make paul ryan do it. (laughter) in fact, yesterday boehner said we don't have a nominee who can win a first ballot. i'm for none of the above. i'm for paul ryan to be our nominee. oh john boehner. paul ryan already got out of one sticky situation by agreeing to succeed you as speak are of the house when no one else wanted

paul ryan is your go to flunky for everything. >> sorry to cancel on your dinner party, you know who is great at eating food, paul ryan. hey, listen, buddy, hey, listen, buddy, look. look, buddy, i know i promised to help you move that water bed to your sixth floor walkup but it turns out i don't want to. you know, paul ryan will do it. but here's the deal, paul ryan doesn't want to be the candidate because he, quote, believes the nominee should be someone who ran this year. okay. so that narrows it down to these people. but you can't-- you cannot blame speaker ryan for being hesitant. running for president is a gauntlet of personal attacks and media hit jobs. i mean it's bloody business.

no, it's worse. it is-- the hunger for power games. welcome! ha ha. welcome to the hungry for power games. tributes, assemble. oh so few remain. they're like the beatles but there are six of them and they are all ringo. excuse me. i'm a bit under the weather. i'm so under the weather i can't say weather. andro, (laughter) don't be afraid. don't be afraid. friends, this is my tongueless man boy andro. good evening, and ro. snuff box. yes, oh, yes, here we go. nothing gets my blood pumping like the crushed dreams of failed candidates. oh, let's have a gram of lindsay

but besides that, no. (cheers and applause). >> stephen: and tribute marco leaves us after a string of triumphant third place victories. but was blind sided by tuesday's shocking secretary place defeat in florida. so for the record, florida votes yes on jimmy buffett. yes on releasing pythons into toilets, on marco rubio, no thanks. loyal citizens, this is a major turning point in our game. for rubio is the last tribute fighting on behalf of the establishment of capital stivment he was supposed to become the jeb bush people liked. instead he became the jeb bush. ha, ha, ha. please clap, please clap. and now, with tribute trump marching toward capital city, i would just like to say

we game makers are still in full control of the games. andro, prime the escape pod to the forbidden zone. but first, let us pause to remember rubio's shining moment of oratory. >> donald is not going to make america. he's going to make america orange. he doesn't sweat because his bother pos are clogged from the spray tan. he likes to sue people, he should sue whoever did that to his face. have you seen his hands, and you know what they say about men with small hands. >> stephen: they win florida? (applause) and now let us bid fairwell-- fair well to the

(cheers and applause) s good-bye, good-bye sweet marco. unless you end up getting the nomination because really anything's possible at this point. we'll be right back.

i will buy a house in aspen. look, a mountain. >> stephen: is it literally the house she grew up in? >> st. and we are rebuilding it now and going through all of that stuff. boy, that is a complicated thing. you have to make a lot of decisions. we're actually building it from scratch, but build the same house back again. >> stephen: so the house was going. >> yeah, it wasn't worth trying to save. but it does come down to a thousand decisions am i do love to build houses. i'm a bit of a carpenter. >> stephen: i noticed. you are a bit of a cover boy. this is, i saw you on the cover of wood turning basics. (laughter) (cheers and applause) >> i'm proud of that. >> stephen: i would be too. >> yeah. >> stephen: i would be too. i like this down here. it says william h. macy hooked on turning. what does that mean? >> i smoke a lot of dope. >> stephen: okay, all right. and you're making a bowl to hold this pipe.

it worked out for all of us. >> yeah. >> stephen: that is another character that you have played and your very wonderful talent to express to the audience not the alliance but just your behavior, sometimes just a certain stillness in your face that there is an inner heartbreak that you cannot express, you cannot tell the other, the person are you talking to. and i would love to be able to do that. i was hoping i could try to do that with you. try to express inner heartbreak in some way. how do you do it? what's the secret? >> well, techically speaking, there's-- there's standi ds slawssky, what you call an effective mm ree. you think of the time your dog got killed by a car and you think of that memory and you bring it to the stage. there is-- that says basically you do the motions in the actions and the emotion will follow. and then there is my technique which is, i just fake it. and if you can fake it well enough, people buy it.

well, i would like to try to fake it with you right now, okay. go. ladies and gentlemen, this is restrained sorrow theat remember william h. macy. again, you an i each have inner sadnesses that are too deep to ever express as a human being. so instead we're just going to say the most money dain things we possibly can and convey our heartbreak. >> hey there is cake on the secretary floor conference room because it's farber's birthday. >> this is my 12th time seeing injuriesy boys.
