Out of respect for the Boss, the B Street Band—the group that covers Bruce Springsteen hits—has decided not to play during President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration after all. So which stars will provide entertainment? It looks like the only celebrity left, according to late-night comic Jimmy Kimmel, is the one being sworn in.

Where celebrities leave off, protesters will fill in. Thousands of demonstrators are expected to show up, and the city is already prepping for disruptive crowds. The Trump team's fix for rowdy rioters, according to Jimmy Fallon, is to welcome them with cookies and Kool-Aid. The comic explains why that may not work. Take a look in today's Punchlines, above.
