Laugh Track: Zig-'Zags

NBC’s Jimmy Fallon said "every year we pick a team to root for" in the NCAA Tournament, "and this year we picked Gonzaga.” But Gonzaga lost to Arkansas in the Sweet 16, so “now I would like to take a minute to speak to my Bulldogs, because right now, I know you’re probably feeling pretty low, but let me tell you, you got a lot to be proud of." Fallon: "Gonzaga, you lost, but here’s the good news: You played well, you’re a good team and hopefully someday you’re going to go all the way. But look at the bright side: You still have spring break. Get out of Spokane and go to Cancun and you got those ‘Rowdy Rags,’ you already got your towel. We just want to say that we’re proud of you. You got to respect how far you came, and besides, ‘Sweet 16’ is a much cooler name than ‘Elite 8.’ Who cares about being elite when you can be sweet? Go 'Zags, and (Gonzaga F Drew) Timme, time to shave that mustache” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 3/25).
