Late-night laughs

(from Nov. 3, 2008)

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

According to all the studies, somewhere between 8 per cent and 14 per cent of voters are still undecided. Who are these morons? What, you need another year to figure this out? "Gee, I wonder where my candidate stands on UFO abductions? I'm going to wait."

Late Night with Conan O'Brien

The Republican Party has asked President Bush to stay out of sight until after the election. Apparently Bush has agreed to this strategy and is appearing weekly on the NBC series, Kath & Kim.

Today in music history

* In 1977, bandleader Guy Lombardo died in Houston at age 75. Lombardo, born in London, Ont., led the Royal Canadians, easily the most popular dance band in the world, for more than 50 years. Formed in Cleveland in 1923, Lombardo's Royal Canadians had by the early 1970s sold more than 300 million records. Beginning in 1929, Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians began New Year's Eve broadcasts from the Roosevelt Grill in New York. The programs became a holiday tradition.
