[ cheersnd applause ] >> jimmy: oh, hello, everybody. hi! [ cheers and applause ] that's what i'm talking about right there. that's what i'm talking about. hot crowd here in new york city tonight. [ cheers and applause ] hot show. welcome, everybody. welcome to "the tonight show." this is it. you made it. [ cheers and applause ] this is fun. you're going to have a good time tonight. here's what everyone's talking about. i saw that trump tower in chicago was struck by lightning -- -- during the illinois primary -- [ light laughter ] -- which donald trump went on to win. yeah, nobody was hurt. while god was like, "crap, i missed."

[ applause ] that's right. trump tower in chicago was struck by lightning during the illinois primary. there were no injuries, but long story sho, donald trump has switched bodies with an 11-year-old boy. [ laughter and applause ] it's fine. "we're having ice cream for breakfast." [ laughter ] speaking of trump, he recently said that if he becomes president he'll force apple to start making its products in the united states. it's great news for anyone who wants to pay $20,000 for an iphone. [ laughter ] [ applause ] good idea. and the president of cnn rejected claims that the network has given donald trump too much attention, and said he feels no responsibility for the rise of donald trump. makes sense. just because someone mentions trump a lot on tv doesn't mean they're responsible for what he does if he's president. >> donald trump, donald trump, donald trump, donald trump, donald trumpmpdonald trump, donald trump, donald trump. it's huuuuge!

>> jimmy: that's what t job is. >> steve: it's your job. >> jimmy: never know. and lindsey graham who is just fantastic right now. has announced that he's supporting ted cruz since jeb bush is out of the race, and graham had a lot of good things to say about cruz -- kind of. check this out. >> i'm gonna be doing a a fundraiser with and for senator cruz. i think he's the best alternative toonald trump. he's certainly not my preference, senator cruz is not, but he's a reliable republican conservative with which i've had many differences with. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: "i think he's a real jerk and annoying and -- [ laughter ] -- it's a shame he was ever born. and i just need a really giant frozen marrita right now." [ light laughter ] also claims ted cruz's new slogan, "ted cruz, all you got left." [ laughter ] there you go. [ applause ] not bad. >> steve: not bad slogan. >> jimmy: of course, march madness is in full swing. and yale pulled off a major upset in the first round yesterday by beating baylo and after the game reporters

players to explain how yale could have gotten more rebounds. listen to what he had to say. >> how does yale outrebound baylor? >ou go up and grab b e ball off the rim when it comes off. and then you grab it with two hands, and you come down with and that's considered a a rebound. [ laughter ] so they got more of those than we did. [ laughter ] [ applause ] happened? yeah, thanks, buddy. u know, the reporter's like, "i'm 45 years old. how am i still getting bullied?" [ laughter ] meanwhile, arizona was upset in its game against wichitatatate. a lot of people were saying the coach for arizona was sweating a lot. take a look at this. wow. [ audience oohs ] wow. it looks like he dumped garade on himself. yeah. [ laughter ] he lost the game, but he did win the wet t-shirt contest. [ laughter and applause ] it's up there. >> steve: very sheer shirt. >> jimmy: i hope everyone had a

[ applause ] everody, everyone involved with security. i mean, there's millions of people celebrating here in new york city. that means it's time for safe plastic's day. where we send our writer arthur to the streets to see whether or not people notice that he's mispronouncing st. patrick's day. [ light laughter ] check this out. [ cheers and applause ] safe. plastic's day >> what have you been doing to celebrate st. plastic's day? >> i've been, you know, hanging out with friends, comining to check out the city, check out the parade. >> what do you think is so special about shake rabbit's day?

[ laughter ] >> oh, absolutely, yeah. it's been a good day. >> are you having a good stank. mattress day?

>> i am having a good st. patrick's day. the last time i did this, i was 18. >> have you been doing any drinking to o lebrate chris kirpatrick's day? >> a little bit, but not honestly too much. 'cause i got here kind of late. >> what is so special about praying mantis day? >> just everybody out, drinking, having a good time. >> do you have any plans for the rest of the night to celebrate whale bandit's day? >> go back to westchester and enjoy with all my friends. >> you seem like you really love spank sagot day. >> i love it, you know what i mean? >> i hope you continue to have a great lenny kravitz day. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> jimmy: there you go. yeah.

[ cheers ] but meteorologists are forecasting a nor'easter for much of the ea coast. this is true. including the possibility of a a foot of snow in boston and new york. [ audience oohs ] now, people -- yeah, we're already starting to think about easter, now they have to think about this nor'easter, and it could -- [ laughter ] -- easily get confusing. yeah. so -- so we thtught we'd point out just a few of the

up. first, on easter, he is risen. on nor'easter, you are frozen. [ laughter ] >> steve: oh i see. >> jimmy: see the difference? >> steve: big difference, yeah. [ applause ] >> jimmy: next, easter signals the beginning of spring. nor'easter -- psych! [ laughter ] next, during easter, a giant bunny brings you a basket of candy. ring nor'easter, a pissed off delivery guy brings you a bag of chinese food. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] "whatever it is, )ou better tip me, man. it's awful out there." next, easter celebrates the resurrection of jesus. nor'easter celebrates the resurrection of the shovel you thought you wouldn't need again for nine months. [ laughter and applause ] "honey, where did we put that thing?" and finally on easter, you consider eating brch with your family. in a nor'easter, you consider eating your family for brunch. [ laughter ] you do what you got to do. >> steve: donner, party of one. >> jimmy: you got to survive. >> steve: you got to survive. >> jimmy: you got to survive, man. >> steve: you got to live it up. >> jimmy: this is kind of crazy. police in pennsylvania recently caught a 78-year-old nun

[ cheers and applause ] [ laughter ] >> jimmy: the first one was -- i dunno. >>teve: they're both great. >> jimmy: first one was better. i don't know. that's why he gets paid the big bucks. [ laughter ] guys, this isn't good here. bumblebee tuna fans, anyone? [ lauger ] bumblebee tuna has issued a a nationwide recall of over 30,000 cases of canned tuna due to spoilage eoncerns. >> steve: wow. >> jimmy: yeah. in fact, the company's also released a statement t its customers.

safety ip -- your safety is our highest priority. so please pay attention to the following tips. if your tuna has a rotten taste or smells like sour garbage, that is completely normal tuna. [ laughter ] if you open a can of tuna and people around you say, "ugh, what is that?" or, "geez, again, greg?" don't worry, these are completely normal reactions tot cans of tuna. [ laughter ] if your tuna does not look like something g cat ate and then threw back up, there may be somethg wrong with your tuna." [ laughter and applause ] three tips there to look outp for and be careful. and they're not the only ones having trouble. i saw that maserati is recalling almost 30,000 cars due to premature acceleration.
