Late-night laughs

(from Nov. 12, 2008)

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

When they move into the White House, Barack Obama will be getting a dog for his daughters. He was very clear on its care. He said, "You're going to have to feed it; you're going to have to give it water; and you're going to have to clean up after it. Do you understand that?" And Joe Biden said "Yeah, yeah."

Late Show with David Letterman

Barack Obama may be living in the White House with his mother-in-law. He may want to rethink closing Guantanamo.

Late Night with Conan O'Brien

Producers in Hollywood say that America is now ready for a black James Bond and a black Wonder Woman. America may even be ready for a black Michael Jackson.

Some political analysts say that the '80s sitcom The Cosby Show helped Obama get elected by portraying a black family in a positive light. They also say Obama would have been elected 10 years ago, if it weren't for Flavor Flav.

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson

The transition continues in Washington. Vice-President Dick Cheney is meeting with Vice-President-elect Joe Biden tomorrow. Cheney will give him a tour ... hand over the keys to the dungeon, that sort of thing.

Jimmy Kimmel Live!

In only 69 days or so, Barack Obama becomes our 44th president. It's going to be exciting, but weird not having Dick Cheney in charge.

Barack Obama's mother is planning to move to Washington with the first family; she might even move into the White house with them -- which sounds like a sitcom. Joe Biden could play the kooky neighbour they talk to over the fence.

Today in music history

* In 1960, Elvis Presley's It's Now Or Never became the fastest-selling single in British history, selling 780,000 copies in its first week.

* In 1975, Queen's A Night at the Opera LP was released in Britain. It was said to have been one of the most expensive albums ever recorded in the U.K., but it proved to be the LP that provided Queen's breakthrough to superstar status. A Night At the Opera contained the six-minute Bohemian Rhapsody, which was No. 1 in Britain for nine weeks, breaking the record held by Paul Anka's 1957 hit, Diana.

* In 1999, Gary Glitter was acquitted of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old fan. Just hours later, he was ordered jailed for downloading thousands of pornographic pictures of children.
