New year, new you! A look back at some New Year’s Resolutions over the years through the lens of The Daily Show. The 2016 GOP presidential candidates share their personal resolutions with Fox News. Steve Carell tries to improve himself in two “Slimmin’ Down with Steve” segments focussing on nutrition and plastic surgery. Plus Trevor Noah digs into what it means to “sleep better.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Chapter 1: What were the 2016 GOP candidates' New Year's resolutions?
If you really want to understand what's going on with the 2016 GOP candidates, all you had to do was spend New Year's Eve with Fox News, which gave each candidate the chance to express New Year's wishes to the American people.
Chapter 2: How did candidates express their wishes for 2016?
This year my resolution is to preserve our liberties and restore prosperity across America.
My resolution for 2016 is to do everything I can to not just restore the American dream, but to expand it to reach more people.
I hope you've had a good 2015, but I'm hoping you're going to have a better 2016. Good luck with your resolutions. Mine is try to stay off the ice cream in Iowa.
I love this. You know what I enjoyed about this whole night was that you really got a sense for the candidates. You could understand everyone. Rand Paul lives in some libertarian utopia. I don't know what that background is. Marco Rubio, he's clean-cut, middle of the road. Mike Huckabee, he's just happy to be here.
And, uh, and Rick Santorum knows that there's only one battle in Iowa he has a chance of winning this year, and it's not against Jeb and Donald. It's against Ben and Jerry. Ted Cruz also took some time out to talk. I wish he didn't. And let's hear what he had to say.
Eric and Kim, it's great to be with you. Happy New Year. You know, 2016 is gonna be an incredible year. 2016 is gonna be the last year of the Obama presidency. 2016 is gonna be the last year before Hillary retires permanently to Chappaqua. 2016 is gonna be the last year that we have Obamacare.
Uh, you know what? I hate to... This is actually the part where Ted Cruz was trying to filibuster New Year's. And this is gonna take a while. So, you know what? Let's just put him... Let's just put him down. Yeah, let's leave him down there. We're gonna come back to... This goes on for a while. Anyway, um... Now, not everyone was as enthusiastic as Senator Cruz about the New Year.
To all my friends, I hope that we have a prosperous, healthy, and secure New Year's. Happy New Year, everybody.
He had more time. Yes. We gave him as much time as he wanted. I know, I know, I know.

He had more time. Yes. We gave him as much time as he wanted. I know, I know, I know.
But you know what it was? It was short and sweet.
That's exactly what you can expect from the Bush campaign. Short and sweet, he has unlimited resources, and he doesn't do anything with them. This guy's still going. Let's see what Carly Fiorina had on her mind.
While you're in exciting Times Square, we're here in Mason Neck, Virginia, with our grandkids, our daughter, and our son-in-law. Whoo-hoo!
Was that a sarcastic whoo-hoo? And this is the couch where we spend Christmas, New Year's, and let's be honest, probably where we'll spend the election night. Whoo-hoo! Oh, and look at Cruz. He's still talking. Nobody wants to hear your story, man! It's New Year's Eve. People want to get hammered and watch strangers in stupid hats kissing.

This guy's still talking, but the best moments of the night. The best moment had to be when Fox brought on Donald Trump. Now, he was supposed to do the countdown for them to midnight, but for some strange reason, he didn't count down when everyone else was counting down. And then, after that, he proceeded to have his own mini-countdown by him. You know what? Just watch the thing. Just watch it.
