For weeknight viewers of the CBS Evening News, they’re treated to consistent helping of puns and cheesy jokes from anchor Scott Pelley on everything from political stories to humorous news briefs and throughout the network’s Super Tuesday 3 special reports, Pelley employed his fair share to knock departed GOP candidate Marco Rubio as Donald Trump racked up more victories.

In the first special report at 8:00 p.m. Eastern, Pelley hyped that Trump was the projected winner in Florida and dealt “a big loss for Marco Rubio in his home state” so, therefore, “[t]he Florida sun is about to set on his campaign.”
