The Texan is in late-night crosshairs after his Monday announcement.

Texan Ted Cruz announced his 2016 bid for president Monday at Liberty University. Late-night television feasted on the senator's various quirks Monday night. Among the things touched on during the shows: His being born in Canada, his views on immigration, his views on climate change and his chances at being president. 

The Daily Show's Jon Stewart took a different route, joking about the Rand Paul supporters at the announcement and the comments Cruz made about cell phones.
