Late-night laughs

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

President-elect Barack Obama is still looking for a White House dog. In fact, he has spent more time selecting a dog than John McCain did selecting a running mate.

According to CNN, Barack Obama's popularity going into office is higher than Clinton's, Reagan's or either of the President Bushes when they entered office. On Fox News, he's somewhere between Attila the Hun and lead poisoning.

On this date in 1972, the Dow Jones hit 1,000 for the first time. Unfortunately, the same thing happened today.

And on this date in 2000, Bill Clinton was the first president to visit Vietnam. At least that's where he told Hillary he was going.

Late Night with Conan O'Brien

When Barack Obama's daughters Malia and Sasha move into the White House, they are going to have to get used to having a chef cook their meals. The White House chef is furious about it and said, "Great -- four more years of making SpaghettiOs and chicken fingers."

People in the publishing industry are speculating that President Bush will write a book after he leaves office. And by "write," they mean "draw."
