‘Yuge’ in Iowa
The Iowa caucuses took place on Monday, with former President Donald Trump winning 51 percent of the vote and finishing far ahead of his Republican opponents.
“If you’ve ever wondered what is the polar opposite of M.L.K. Day, it is the Iowa Republican caucus,” Jimmy Kimmel joked on Tuesday.
“Even though he barely spent any time in Iowa, it somehow made voters love him more. It’s the same strategy he used raising Eric and Don Jr.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Trump won 98 of Iowa’s 99 counties. Apparently, the 99th county got confused and voted for ‘Succession.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“But Trump got 51 percent of the vote in Iowa. And even though it doesn’t mean much — you know, in 2016, Ted Cruz won the Iowa caucus, and now he lives at the bottom of an aquarium.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Experts have been saying for months that Trump would win over 50 percent of the vote. These Iowa caucuses were the political version of ‘This could have been an email.’” — JIMMY FALLON

“You know, 80 percent of the country right now is in the grip of what they call an arctic blast, which is a very dangerous weather pattern not to be confused with arctic blitz, which is a wiper fluid-colored flavor of Gatorade.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“The entire country is getting hit with an arctic blast. It is so cold, in Times Square the cooks over at Bubba Gump are warming their hands in the gumbo.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Today, I tipped a kid who was shoveling outside 30 Rock, and he said, ‘Thanks, Mr. Fallon.’ I said, ‘No, thank you, Mr. Ramaswamy.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“It’s so cold, Ron DeSantis is burning books just for the heat.” — JIMMY FALLON
