Funny Ladies: Ageism Is No Joke
It ain't easy being a funny woman in Hollywood. We've often heard how few good roles are written for women over 35, but the facts really hit home in this video from The Hollywood Reporter's Emmy roundtable featuring women in comedy.
In it, Sarah Silverman talks about auditioning to play Jonah Hill's mother, and Amy Poehler points out that she was just eight years older than Rachel McAdams, who played her daughter in Mean Girls.
Candidates Broke Late-Night Show Appearance Records
The Presidential candidates worked the late-night talk show circuit during the 2008 campaign, making more than four times the number of appearances with Letterman, Jay Leno, Jon Stewart, and the likes than the 2004 lineup did, according to new research.
Candidates showed off their face-to-face skills with 110 appearances on late-night comedy shows, a sharp shoot up from 25 in 2004, according to the Center for Media and Public Affairs. Fifty of those spots occurred before the primary votes were even cast, offering the chance for candidates to show their comedic chops and create ideal YouTube or cable news sound bites.
Who Is Your Favorite Political Comedian?
This year's presidential campaign offered enough material to skyrocket ratings of shows like SNL and reminded most of us why we love late night TV. Tina Fey poofed her hair and turned out a dead-on impression of Sarah Palin, while John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, David Letterman, Jay Leno, and Bill Maher delivered cutting and comedic insight on the candidates, news, and general state of the world night after night on their prospective programs. Which of these political comedians had you LOLing through the very best moments of 2008?

Mother-in-Law Can't Take a Joke, Sues Comedian
Well, a comedian who just happens to be her daughter-in-law!
It sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but comedian Sunda Croonquist’s mother-in-law Ruth Zafrin was not kidding when she filed a lawsuit against Sunda for telling so many jokes about her. Croonquist capitalizes on their ethnic differences in her envelope-pushing jokes — she is half-black and half-Swedish, was raised Catholic, and married into a Jewish family.

Do, Dump, or Marry? Andy Samberg
I love a man who can make me laugh, and SNL's Andy Samberg sure is funny. The Dick in the Box sketch he did with Justin Timberlake won him an Emmy, but I must admit that I preferred his charm in his "I'm on a Boat" music video featuring T-Pain. I also thought that Andy's role as Paul Rudd's gay brother was a bright spot in the movie I Love You Man.
Have You Ever Had an Office Affair?
You don't have to be a late night comedian like David Letterman or Jimmy Kimmel to have an affair at work. Office romances are so prevalent these days that companies are asking in-office couples to sign "love contracts" to protect themselves and the company from lawsuits should something go wrong.
So how many people are finding love at work?
Favorite Political Comedian of 2008: Jon Stewart
The pick for CitizenSugar readers' favorite political comedian isn't a shocking one considering funnyman Jon Stewart seems to have set the standard for political comedy since he took over The Daily Show in 1998. Thirty-nine percent of you say Stewart is your favorite, followed by 25 percent of you who love his late night Comedy Central comrade Stephen Colbert.
Stewart had a busy year, hosting his show Monday through Thursday and the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards (where he picked up an award for Best Variety, Music or Comedy Series for his show).
