this could be do or die for a a lot of the candidates including ted cruz, who could be knocked out of the race depending on how things went tonight. [ cheers ] cruz said that dropping out would allow him to spend more time with his family. then his family said, "we gotta get this guy some votes." [ laughter ] i can't -- i can't deal with it. [ applause ] come on. get out there. actually the front-runners for the republicans are marco rubio and donald trump. and if you haven't been following the election so far, this is where we're at right now. >> thank god he has really large ears. the biggest ears i've ever seen. >> i don't understand why his hands are the size of someone who's 5'2." have you seen his hands? >> i have never seen any human being sweat like this guy. >> you know what they say about men with small hands. >> this guy couldn't be elected dog catcher right now if he ran. >> donald is not gonna make america great. he's gonna make america orange.

the hard way." [ laughter and applause ] this is pretty big. it's being reported that "the new york times" has a bombshell audio tape of donald trump that could deal a serious blow to his campaign. yeah. so far they refuse to release the tape, but we were able to pull a few strings and get a a copy. >> steve: really? wow. how -- how fortunate. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: isn't that amazing. we have the best producers and researchers out there. >> steve: wow. >> jimmy: and they got it. well, here, take a listen to this audio tape. >> okay, so we're off the record now, right? >> yeah, sure. >> phew. i can finally take this dead badger off my head. >> you velcro a wig to your head? >> what else am i gonna do, use staples? >> no, of course not. i think most of us just would like to hear some specifics, you know, with regards to your policy on immigration. >> i've gotta be honest with you. i 100% have no idea what i'm saying out there. i just turn off the old brain and let the words fly out of my face hole. >> so then you're not going to

[ laughter and applause ]

it was hairy! ew! oh, i'm sleeping in the kitchen. enough. bring me my sedative.

[ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] not that honest! not that honest.

looking to trademark her first name in the u.s. the singer kylie minogue is fighting it saying that would confuse her fans. take a look at what she said. i disagree with kylie about trying to trademark the name kylie. after she said that, several other celebrities were asked to comment on that story. miley cyrus said, "i agree with kylie about kylie." [ laughter ] noah wyle said, "i agree with miley about kylie about kylie." former nba coach pat riley said, "i agree with wyle about miley about kylie about kylie." game show host guy smiley said i agree with riley about wyle about miley about kylie about kylie. wile e. coyote said "i agree with smiley about riley about wyle about miley about kylie about kylie. and finally shaquille o'neal said, "i'm shaq."

i'll take the next flight." [ laughter ] good luck with that old plane, though. if you have kids, you might want to listen to this. i saw that in an effort to better represent modern families, lego created a stay at home dad figure. the only problem is once you snap it on to the lego couch, it won't come off. [ laughter and applause ] that's right, lego created a a stay at home dad figure. the stay at home dad snaps into other legos and also snaps when you ask him what he does for a a living.

from laughter to anger to smiling to crying. con, it's like watching pacman have a complete nervous breakdown.

[ laughter and applause ] can't all be working for you, buddy. pro, there's now an easier way to poke someone. con, it's called signing up for tinder. oh. pro, clicking wow on your friend's engagement. con, because they don't have a a wow, i thought you'd be single forever button. not a bad idea. and finally, pro, if something makes you happy, you press the like button. if something makes you laugh, you press the haha button. con, if something that makes you go ha ha at first, then it starts doing well in the polls and all of a sudden it's not really funny anymore and this
