It was very nice. Check out what he said. [ laughter ] jimmy it was very interesting. Isnt that nice . I think that i think thats the translation. Steve i think that. Yeah, i dont speak greek. Its all greek to me. Jimmy i dont know, yeah. [ laughter ] between now and inauguration day, Donald TrumpsTransition Team has to appoint 4,000 people. And because they need to hire so many people in such a short time, they made a special job application for anyone interested. And so right now im going to tell you, the best way to fill it out to land a job in the trump administration. For example, the first question is, did you vote for trump . [ laughter ] youre going to want to answer yes on that. Next question is, did you hear anything trump said during the election . For that youre going to want to answer no. [ laughter ] thats a [ applause ] and finally, for the question, are you a u. S. Citizen . Youre going to want to circle, is this a trap . [ laughter and applause ] and there you go. Just, just a little helpful hint and youll be in there. Dont worry about it. Steve little fyi. Jimmy dont worry about it.

Take a look. Its subtle. [ laughter ] i think its you barely, you barely notice it. Steve tasteful. Tasteful. Jimmy it is classy, it is beautiful, its fantastic. Im guessing nobodys more upset about trump being elected he made a bet with a friend last week and things didnt turn out so well for him. Check this out. Zach colbert supports bernie sanders. But he promised to get a tattoo of donald trump on his body, if trump won the election. Zach went to a tattoo artist and posted every mark live on facebook.
