[ cheers and applause ] i appreciate that. I hope you had a great weekend, a good spring break. April fools day came and went and donald trump is still president. So i guess thats real. [ laughter ] now, i was thinking about doing something to my wife on april fools day but then i thought, you know what, tricking her into marrying me was more than enough prank. [ laughter ] i guess what im trying to say is im growing up, i really am. Tonight from phoenix, arizona the Ncaa College Basketball championships. Two number one seeds, North Carolina versus gonzaga. Or gonzaga. Im not honestly sure which is correct. So i alternate them every time i say it. Im right at least half of the time. But Gonzaga University was founded in 1887. This is interesting. It was founded as a bet to see if students would want a diploma from a school that sounded like it was named after a monkey disease. [ laughter ] turns out they do. Actually, i did look it up today because i was curious. Gonzaga university is
And it was close, it was tied, second half i think gonzaga was up by a point. My wife went to kansas where they won a lot. She said, this is very stressful, im glad my team is not playing in this game. And i looked at her and i was like, i think you might be the missing the point of this. Shes pregnant, though, so i decided to let her stay in the house. Did any of you watch the College Basketball game last night . [ cheers and applause ] it was, is as you know, North Carolina won it, theyre National Champions once again. It wasnt a highscoring game. I think there were more capital one commercials than there were points in the game. But that didnt temper the enthusiasm of North Carolina at all. After they won, fans and students in chapel hill did what College Students often do. They set fire to a couch. Which i will say, this is something i will never understand. That couch, that couch let you sit on it the whole tournament. Supported you for every game this season. And now you win and

[ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] dont try to take credit for it, its our thing. You might not have been aware but monday was send your soninlaw to iraq day. [ laughter ] President Trump send his daughters husband Jared Kushner to baghdad to meet with the iraqi Prime Minister and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. The military posted a bunch of photographs of jareds spring break. I found them on flickr last night. I was looking around, so tickled by them, i wanted to share them with you. Theres jared. Hes the one on the left. With general Joseph Dunford of the marines. This is the face you make when you have no idea what the people around you are talking about but you dont want to look stupid so you do a lot of nodding. Here he is from another angle. You can see its like a militarytheme bar mitzvah. [ laughter ] why didnt anyone tell me to wear camo . I would have worn camo. I guess they were worried jared wouldnt be able to sit through an entire meeting, as you see they gav
Going to cry, im already crying, which is embarrassing. But well, im not good with this sort of thing. And im sorry especially to those of you who came to see the show in person. Because its probably not what you came for. But we lost someone that we and i love very much today. And again, im sorry for hearing this just now for the first time but don rickles passed away this morning. He was 90 years old. And i know it sounds crazy to say he was too young. But he was. Because he was youthful and funny and sharp and generous. And i was fortunate enough to not only have don on this show as my guest but also to become close to him and his wife barbara, which was a lot of fun for me. I grew up in las vegas, so don rickles, even when i was a kid, was a very big deal. His name was on the marquee at the sahara hotel. You could see him with Johnny Carson making fun of johnny, making fun of Frank Sinatra. People always wanted to hear don tell sinatra stories and he had great stories. But i think
