0:00.0	South Carolinians went to the polls on Saturday to pick the Republican nominee for president
0:04.8	and they picked Trump. Surprising precisely no one.
0:09.9	Trump beat Haley by a roughly 20-point margin 60 to 40, also surprising no one.

1:55.6	I'm saying that Gillis is probably a big lib but he got fired for not quite being
2:00.2	woke enough and not since norm McDonald coming back to host after he got fired
2:04.5	has so triumphant return ever happened what does it mean for comedy what does it mean
