new york city officials had to issue a warning telling people not to eat fish they found in the streets. sounds to me like governor christie wants the seafood buffet all to himself. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: if you have to be reminded not to eat fish that washed up on the street in newark, i think we'll be okay without you. the tsa just released the findings of an investigation they did at a number of american airports. they had agents try to smuggle weapons and fake explosives through the tsa. they were able to get through undetected 95% of the time. the tsa failed 67 of those tests. the secretary of homeland

security said the numbers in these reports never look good out of context. [ laughter ] they don't look good in context either. somehow they managed to successfully detect 100% of the water bottles i tried to get through. so the director of the tsa has been reassigned. the new guy has asked anyone who might be carrying a weapon, please hide it in your shoe where they can find it. i assume you've seen the "vanity fair" cover photo of caitlyn jenner. so caitlyn jenner of course used to be bruce jenner, but she's now caitlyn jenner. we've known bruce jenner since 1976, since the olympics. it's hard to burn a new name and gender into your brain. it's been especially hard to
