[ laughter ] after doing poorly in n wa, new hampshire, and south carolina, jeb bush announced on saturday night that he is dropping out of the race. [ cheers and applause ] [ laughter ] of course -- [ laughter ] of course, that means marco rubio and ted cruz are both hoping to pick up jeb's supporters. yeah. and jeb was like, "joke's on you. i didn't have any supporters. ah! [ laughter ]
11:36 pm
[ cheers a a applause ] that's right, jeb bush announced that he is dropping out. it was bittersweet, but i have to say, his concession speech really clarified what jeb stood for. >> republicans can win the white house and we can get back to being in the verge of having the greatest time to be alive. and that's what i honestly believe. and i know you do as well. i look forward to working you to make that dream come true. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: well if he's not qualified to be president, maybe he's qualified to be miss america? i don't know -- [ laughter ] i don't know how to help him. i'm looking forward to working you towards the urge of the verge. [ laughter ] to be fair he had been drinking since noon. [ laughter ] you know george w. bush was off to the side going, "perfect, just like i wrote it. yeah. he nailed it!" [ cheers and applause ] after jeb bush dropped out, many sources are reporting that
11:37 pm
$100 million on the campaign. that's a lot of money. so we thought we'd break it down on how it was actually spent. $35 million was spent on staff members who could smile no matter what the polls said. [ laughter ] [ applause ] $1,200 was spent on a golden retriever puppy meant to cheer up jeb during the campaign. [ audience aws ] [ applause ] $65 million was spent on someone to cheer up that puppy after hanging out with jeb. [ laughter and applause ] and this -- that puppy was devastated. and then $2 was spent on a a powerball ticket so jeb actually had a chance at winning something. [ cheers and applause ] pow -- it's the biggest one yet. [ applause ] the other big news is that donald trump won all 50 delegates in saturday's south carolina primary. >> yeah! [ audience ohs ] >> jimmy: so if you're paying attention -- this is the official point when people go from saying, "oh, this was kind of fun" to, "oh,
11:38 pm
this is really happening." [ laughter ] oh, lord. [ applause ] when asked about the possibility that mexico might not agree to pay for his border wall -- [ laughter ] donald trump said, "the wall just got ten feet higher." [ laughter ] people in mexico were like, "okay, well, our tunnels are exactly the same. so it doesn't matter what -- we're going -- [ laughter and applause ] it doesn't -- ah, forget it. not worth it." did you see this, too? while donald trump was speaking at a rally in atlanta the lights suddenly went out and trump said he actually liked it more in the dark. [ laughter ] then melania trump was like, "join the club." [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> trump. >> jimmy: that's right, the lights went out while trump was talking, but people were still able to keep watching him. take a look at this. >> they were probably sent here so that we'd put them in our
11:39 pm
our jails -- they didn't pay the electric bill. they put them -- oh, i like that much better. >> jimmy: hair glows in the dark! >> steve: we knew it had some special power. >> jimmy: who knew that? that's so cool. >> steve: like hulk hair. >> jimmy: that's so cool. [ laughter ] who knew, man? that's awesome. of course, the oscars are coming up this weekend, and i saw that there's a new online game called "leo's red carpet rampage" where you play leonardo dicaprio running down the red carpet trying to catch an oscar. [ laughter ] when you win, leo gets an academy award, but it's actually harder than you think. just check out this game. >> aaargh -- [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: theat bear follows him around everywhere now. >> steve: no matter what. >> jimmy: can't get rid of that bear. >> steve: yeah. steals his thunder. >> jimmy: this is kind of crazy. the actor who plays chewbacca recently tweeted images from the original 1976 "star wars" script, which was called "the adventures of luke starkiller."

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: finally, the creators of "friends" recently said that a reboot of the show will never happen. [ audience aws ] and that quote, "you don't want to see them hanging out in the coffee house now." well, that's bad news. but i think they might be right. in fact, they actually tried to film a reunion, and i guess a a lot more time has passed than i thought. check this out. no one told you life was gonna be this way your job's a joke you're broke your love life's d.o.a i'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too >> jimmy: aw!
