Default Derby Jokes on Tonight Show

We got three jokes about the Derby (good natured ones too but a couple have already gone out of my head by the time I came to post this--they were amusing though). He congratulated Street Sense for winning the Derby and later on asked who'd watched it, both got applause so of course I was excited that we get pop culture mentions.

He joked that there was a surprise drug test of all 20 horses and asked if it was really a surprise given that they're horses. He mimed a horse smoking a joint and basically did a 'oh crap, hide the weed!' It was funnier than it sounds in print. I just like that we got publicly mentioned outside of ESPN.

(Make that 4 jokes...when he did Headlines the joke headline at the beginning of the segment said 'DC Madam says Derby winner was a client'..how very Catherine the Great).
