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.
Republicans on the Receiving End of Late-Night Jokes 7-1
If you're staying up to watch John McCain make his grand, and potentially awkward, return to David Letterman tonight, you should expect to hear seven jokes about McCain's party for each joke made about the Democrats. According to the Center For Media and Public Affairs, since McCain tapped Sarah Palin, 286 jokes have been made about the Republicans by late-night comics compared to 42 about the Democrats. Even material-producing Joe Biden, set to appear on Leno tonight, doesn't find himself the butt of many jokes.An Old Film Gets a New Script
Whose Line Is It Anyway? is supposed to feature improvisational comedy, but I have a hard time believing that the following is unscripted. The comedic timing is just too flawless.
Comedic Gymnastics? Hells Yeah!
Paul Hunt, a renown gymnast and women's coach, never took himself or his sport too seriously. He blended comedy with skill and his ever-present alter ego, Señora Pauletta, became a fan fave. Here she is, pretty in pink and pigtailed to boot, tackling the uneven bars.
Women, Don't Drive!
This "public improvement film" is a sketch from a comedy show, so we can't take it too seriously. Although it's mocking men's attitudes from the past, some dudes still have the same attitude now. To them I say: Watch your back when crossing the street, as my "pretty little mind" might not think to hit the brakes fast enough.
John Mayer Takes A Stab At Comedy
And by "takes a stab," I mean he kills it. John Mayer is to comedy as Jessica Simpson is to acting-- that is, a disaster. I advise they both keep to singing.
911 Is For Laughs Now?
911 was originally established for emergency purposes only, but has curiously emerged as the newest dating service, complaint hotline, and...comedy club? Oh yes, where else would an amateur comedian (I mean, "operator") find a more alert and captive audience to screen his new jokes? This "audience" probably laughs so hard, they cry!
Whose Line Is It Anyway?
The Game: Supply four comedians with four absurd looking props and set them free to have whatever imaginary fun they can think of. You gotta give "props" to them for their wickedly clever, off-the-cuff humor. Even Madonna makes an appearance!
The Senior Citizen Shake
They call themselves "Country Bernie and the Park Ridge Senior Stampede." I call them ahead of their time...but time flies when you're having fun and, uh, unfortunately their time has come and gone. But they still got some soul in their shake, no?
Old MacCrazy Had a Farm...
E-I-E-I-Oh, geez. This is quite a treat, my friends. First off, who wears white-on-white?
