[ cheers and applause ] tonight -- snoop dogg has an interesting new project. snoop dogg announced he will release a reggae album later this year. in related news, the world will be expected to run out of marijuana later this year. i guess it was a statistical inevitablility he would produce one reggae album, the album will be called "reincarnated" not releasing it under snoop dogg. for this one he is calling himself snoop lion. snoop lion sounds like the name of a stoner grocery store or something. dude, let's go to the snoop lion and grab some pizza curls. the first single is out now called "la-la-la." he sings la, la, la. la, la, la, and la, la, la, and oh, yeah at the end. snoop is the best. remember when he used to kill people. kate goeslin, formerly of jon and kate plus eight, pitching a reality show.

this time, a dating show. she is the date. it's like "the bachelorette" meets "the deadliest catch." it's interesting. if you are interested -- thank you. [ applause ] if you have any interest in dating kate goeslin, she enjoys long walks on the beach, not the beach you picked out, that beach sucks you are an idiot for choosing it. she likes quiet evenings by the place where the fire would be if you weren't so incompetent in case you couldn't get the duraflame lit. don't know if a dating show is a good idea, how would you know if a guy really likes you, or if he is just using you as a steppingstone to the octomom. you don't. i made a lot of fun of kate goeslin, over the years, i hope she finds true love or a new hair stylist. say what you will about the new show. the promo looks like a lot of fun. kate goeslin is back and ready to find the man of her dreams. whether he likes it or not.

12 men selected at random. shot with tranquilizer darts by sarah palin. transported to a deserted island. and hunted like animals by kate and her eight kids. who will escape? who will perish? and who will be captured and forced to marry kate?

it's not a fair comparison. our kids rank number one in cholesterol and having sex with their teachers. so we still have that. [ cheers and applause ] mitt romney's campaign got a big boost in the form of song, mitt romney has been using a clip of president obama singing "let's stay together." remember he sang -- he's been using it in a campaign ad. he had to stop because of copy right issues. romney supporter stepped in and wrote an original song -- the song is called "mitt romney a hero in my mind." i don't know what else to say other than it is enchanting. ♪ world war iii that's obama's plan for you and me ♪ ♪ what a crock it's the only hope he's got ♪ ♪ he can't be elected on his record it's a crime ♪ ♪ he should resign

♪ that's why i'm voting for mitt romney ♪ ♪ he's a hero in my mind ♪ i'm barack obama, and i approve this message. >> amazing being automobile to get the keyboard in the middle of the river, incredible. mitt romney is involved in a twitter controversy right now. normally his twitter audience increases by between 3,000 and 4,000 followers a day. somehow over the weekend he got 135,000 new followers which is a lot for someone who still has the the egg as their profile picture. some people believe the romney campaign bought a bunch of followers. you can do that, buy followers. the romney people deny it. others are suggesting most of his followers aren't even human. they have twitter-bots, i guess computer programs, most what they tweet is repetitive nonsense. this is what one of romney's new

followers tweeted, lmao, lucky there was no time left on the clock. lol, homeboy. and here is the exact same thing from another follower. and from another follower. mitt romney -- they don't use the word dat with a "d." and dat doesn't happen. but even with the new followers, romney's followers is very low compared to obama's 17 million twitter followers. i don't know maybe he should think about signing up justin bieber. to be his runningmate. he's got a -- mitt romney doesn't have a lot of followers. i think it's because his tweets aren't that exciting. it will be fun to play a little game. see if you can differentiate between mitt romney's tweets and the real tweets of kanye west. all right, it's time to play "romney or kanye." [ cheers and applause ] freedom, hard work, and innovation build successful businesses. who tweeted that

-- romney or kanye? audience:romney. kanye. >> jimmy: it was indeed mitt romney. we are off off to a bad start if you couldn't get that one. what about this one -- individuals pursuing their dreams build successful businesses? audience:romney! >> jimmy: that is mitt romney again. couple kanyes, yes. i'm going to make a book of my tweets, tweetbook. audience:kanye. >> jimmy: you are getting good. kanye. one more. i hate when i am on a flight and i wake up with a water bottle next to me, like, oh, great, now i got to be responsible for this water bottle. that was, maybe wasn't as difficult as the i thought. that was kanye west. congratulations, i think that makes you political scientists. [ cheers and applause ] hey, you -- youtube is trying to get their users to use their real names. when you post a comment on a video, youtube gives you the

option to post under your screen name or your real name. and if you don't use your real name, you have to tell them why. i told them i can't give them my real name because i am spiderman. let's keep that quiet. theoretically this would cut down on the number of vicious comments. i don't know our internet was built on a foundation of unnecessarily cruel and vicious attacks from hateful nameless bearded former blockbuster clerks. i mean what kind of a world is this if you can't anonymously attack a mother who posted a video of her laughing baby? what happened to our privacy, you know? i don't think this would work. i think they would have better luck trying to get strippers to use their real names than people on the internet. it would be nice if we had real names. we could round any one who has written the phrase and deport them to scandinavia, we can't. celebrities in particular get a lot of abuse on the internet especially on twitter. you have a direct connection. some people are inherently cruel. some people write very harsh
