Late-night laughs

(from Nov. 7, 2008)

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Only a few days past the election, and both parties are already gearing up for 2012. Unbelievable. How's Barack Obama going to come up with a campaign slogan for 2012? "Don't Change -- Everything's Fine!"

Late Show with David Letterman

I feel bad for McCain -- I guess that endorsement from Dick Cheney came a little too late.

Late Night with Conan O'Brien

Sports Illustrated says that Barack Obama is going to install a basketball court at the White House. In order to make room, workers at the White House will have to get rid of President Bush's Slip 'n Slide.

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson

Terrible week on Wall Street. This is what happens when Sarah Palin stops buying clothes.

The Obamas are getting a new puppy for the White House. They're still trying to decide what to name it. They're thinking Rex if it's a boy, and Hillary if it's a bitch.

Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Obama held his first news conference today, as president-elect. White House reporters were confused because he didn't make up any words, and almost everything he said made sense.

Today in music history

*In 1969, the Supremes appeared on the Tonight show -- their first appearance since Diana Ross left the group. Ross's replacement was Jean Terrell.
