Late-night laughs

(From Nov. 21, 2008)

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

The Obama transition team has leaked that his top choice for Homeland Security chief is Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano. Her first job -- to find out who leaked her name.

Yesterday, Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin pardoned a turkey. She was amazed to find out that besides being a bird, Turkey is also a country.

Late Show with David Letterman

The economy is bad. So bad, they're laying off department store Santa Clauses -- more bad news for John McCain.

Sarah Palin landed a $7 million book deal. She's very excited -- she claims she can see Barnes & Noble from her house.

Late Night with Conan O'Brien

Today in music history

* In 1969, John Lennon returned his MBE medal to the Queen to protest Britain's involvement in Biafra and its support of U.S. action in Vietnam. Lennon also jokingly referred to the fact that Cold Turkey, his recording with the Plastic Ono Band, was slipping off the British chart. The Beatles had been made Members of the Order of the British Empire in 1965.
