it's still the rough weather we're having. the northeast is experiencing one of the worst winters in history. which means that schools have had a record number of snow days. [ cheers ] at this rate the only math kids are doing is how many glasses of wine their mom drinks before 2:00pm -- [ cheers and applause ] it's the same glass! [ laughter ] stop counting. [ laughter ] seems like everyone's been affected by the snow. in fact schools and federal offices in washington, d.c., were shut down today after the city received four inches of snow in their first major snowstorm of the season. [ laughter ] or as boston residents put it, "are you [ bleep ] kidding me?" [ laughter and applause ] [ boston accent ] four inches of snow? i left for work this morning out of a second story window. cowboy up! [ laughter ] four inches of snow. closing schools -- [ cheers and applause ] for four inches of snow.

this, political news here guys. yesterday a federal judge suspended president obama's executive order on immigration. which means millions of undocumented people could be deported again. when asked if he's mad about being overruled, obama said, "you know i've been married for 23 years, right?" [ cheers and applause ] no -- that's what happens. [ applause ] president obama spent monday playing a round of golf in sunny california, and then flew back to washington on air force one. and 10,000 people stranded at boston logan just became republicans. [ laughter ] very -- very interesting how that happens. during a recent interview first lady michelle obama has revealed she has banned boxed macaroni and cheese from the white house. [ audience aws ] though it's been tough on biden, 'cause he couldn't make his wife any jewelry for valentine's day. [ laughter ] it's like, "give me a head's up! give me a head's up, what am i gonna do?" [ laughter and applause ] all right, turkey hand. turkey hand it is.

here we go. [ laughter ] speaking of joe biden, i read that some democrats are debating if hillary clinton should pick joe biden to be her vice president if he decides not to run in 2016. on one hand he's an experienced politician who has spent years shaping foreign policy. on the other hand -- >> and neil smith an old butt buddy. are you here neil?

he said, "the truth is still out there." [ laughter ] it didn't take long for several prospective republican candidates to jump on the issue. here's what they're saying. chris christie said "it's time for obama to disclose these ufo files." rand paul said, "what is the president hiding?" [ laughter ] rick scott said, "we should probably just forget about it." [ laughter and applause ] jeb bush said, "are there aliens among us?" rick scott said, "seriously, let's just move on to something else. what's up with immigration, huh?" [ laughter ] marco rubio said, "did anyone notice rick scott is sweating green fluid?" [ laughter ] and finally illinios congressman dan lipinski said, "you idiot, they're on to us! get back to the mothership! gleep glorp -- [ laughter and applause ] this is pretty interesting. i heard that george washington may have been one of the first

people to use medical marijuana, to alleviate the pain from his teeth, which were made of ivory, brass and gold. which also means he was the first lil' wayne. [ laughter ] both men had grills. i think you can tell washington smoked weed. i mean take a look at this famous image of george washington crossing the delaware, you know that? right? can you pull up so we can see the rest of the painting? that's a clue right there. [ laughter and applause ] >> steve: white castle. >> jimmy: gotta get a suitcase full of burgers man. >> steve: really? wow! >> jimmy: according to a recent survey, the instrumental song "intro" by the xx is the most popular song to make love to. women say they like it because it's emotional. while men say they like it, because it's two minutes and eight seconds long.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: okay very good. >> but they claim to be the largest scholarship fund for women, and so we looked into that, and that turns to be -- that turns out to be a a stretching of the truth. >> jimmy: it is, really. yeah. >> it's heavily stretched. >> jimmy: you have a screen grab from -- >> well that's where this is

from their website. as we started looking into this, this is when we thought there might be something up.

[ laughter ] like most people, i would love him to carry on. >> jimmy: but he'll come up with an idea -- >> he said -- here's the thing, how about hologram jon? [ laughter ] because he said almost every word in the english language. >> jimmy: yeah. if you can put oliver reed in a a film he wasn't in, surely you can just have hologram jon like tupac hosting the show every night. [ laughter ] >> this is a great idea, comedy central, we got the answer for you right now. >> it's not that complicated, hologram jon like tupac. >> jimmy: hologram jon stewart. that's it, yeah. >> that's right. >> jimmy: jon tupac, there you go right there. >> jon tupac. jon tupac! >> jimmy: jon -- >> jon stewart from here tupac
