WHICH MEANS RIGHT NOW IT IS THE OFFICIALLY THE BIGGEST HOLIDAY
OF THE YEAR.
IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE).
>> James: YOU KNOW HOW IT WORKS, RIGHT?
YOU KNOW HOW IT WORKS IF THE GROUNDHOG SEES HIS SHADOW IT
WILL BE A LONG WINTER.
IF HE DOESN'T SEE HIS SHADOW, IT WILL BE AN EARLY SPRING.
AND IF THE GROUNDHOG BARKS AND HUMPS YOUR LEG, THAT'S A DOG AND
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY STOP BUYING GROUNDHOGS ON CRAIGSLIST.
BUT A NEW STUDY FOUND THAT THE MOST FAMOUS GROUNDHOG WHICH IS
PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL IS WRONG 61% OF THE TIME.
THE ONLY OTHER PEOPLE WHO GET THEIR FACTS WRONG THAT OFTEN ARE
RUNNING TO BE THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.
(LAUGHTER) (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
SO PEOPLE CELEBRATE GROUNDHOG DAY IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
LIKE IN LOS ANGELES WE HAVE A DIFFERENT VERSION OF GROUNDHOG
DAY WHERE IF A REAL HOUSEWIFE SEES HER CROW'S FEET, IT WILL BE
SIX MORE WEEKS OF PLASTIC SURGERY.
(LAUGHTER) IN ENGLAND, WE DON'T EVEN HAVE
GROUNDHOG DAY.
IT DOESN'T EXIST.
