and, you know, i was looking at his tweets. and i noticed that even though some of them were really short and simple, they were getting a crazy amount of re-tweets. so, for instance, last week i saw him tweet out, "having fun." and look at this, ended up getting almost 75,000 re-tweets. "having fun." -- no punctuation. nothing. just, "having fun." >> steve: and not the band fun.? >> jimmy: no. i don't know.

reservist from the jersey shore. and that guy -- they got to be friends, and that guy had his house destroyed in hurricane sandy. so prince harry wanted to come and see everything for himself. so when he came to america, he wanted to do a stop at jersey shore, and he wanted firsthand to see the destruction that got on. and so, you know, i got to take prince harry around. and as you might imagine, jimmy, my 17-year-old daughter very interested in that part of daddy's job that day.

[ laughter ] what did he say? and he said, oh, you're doing a great job and everyone's proud of you. and then we had the telethon here at nbc that matt lauer put on, and i came with the family to watch it. and afterwards came down and was talking to the performers who had helped us. and all of a sudden, i was talking to two of the guys from the e street band, max and steve, and i saw them kind of pulling away from me and looking over my shoulder. i was, like, what? you know, is this a hit? [ laughter ] i don't know what's going to happen. and so, i turned around, and it

was bruce. he put his hand out to shake my hand. i shook his hand. and he said, "come on, give me a hug." >> jimmy: no! >> yes. yes. >> jimmy: there it is right there. going in for the handshake, then it almost ended up being a hug right there. love your picture. come on, give me a hug. you can tell you're both getting in there.

we met him in jordan. we were there visiting king abdullah and queen rania in jordan. and it turns out the king has a party. and who's at the party -- there's only, like, 20 people. and bono's there. now, the king's daughter is 12 years old. she's learning to play the guitar. so, he wants her to play the guitar for bono. so she comes and sits at this table. we're only, like, three or four tables of people. and bono says, "do you know any pop songs?" and she says, "i just learned 'hotel california'." so, bono turns to me and says, "gov, you know the words to 'hotel california,' right?" and i said, "sure." and he said, "okay, me and you, let's go." and bono and i, in the middle of the desert in jordan, sing "hotel california" together with king adbullah's daughter playing the guitar. is this a great job or what?
