Lighten Up: Hillary Loves America on Letterman
On this North Carolina/Indiana morning, I'm feeling a little like harmonyfrance. Seven hours till the Indiana polls close (thank you CNN countdown clock) and this McCain voter is all shades of Hillary-lovin'. But.
Lighten Up: Pop Culture Takes Over Presidential Race
It might just be the new populism. Being hip with the pop culture tastes of the American voter is the new litmus test for readiness to lead.
In the past few months, all three candidates have body-slammed their way into the WWE, John McCain proved he not only knows The Hills exists but accepted an endorsement from Heidi, Hillary's been on Tyra's show, and George Bush threatened to send Jessica Simpson to the Democratic Convention to confuse the enemy.
Letterman to Paula: "Are You Drunk?"
Paula Abdul appeared on Letterman Monday night to promote a plethora of projects, including a song she contributed to Randy Jackson's new album. Last month, Paula and Randy teamed up to showcase their new ditty at the Super Bowl. Of course, Letterman tried to get Paula to comment on her big comeback performance, but our gal was too busy playing "opposite day" and talking like a robot to give a straight answer.
2 Late Night Comics, 1 Joke
Accident or conspiracy? David Letterman and Craig Ferguson delivered the same (lame) joke on the same night last week. Their late-night talk shows aired back to back on the same network, too.
Steve Carell on Parenting
Need parenting advice? Look away now. Sorry, but calling your six-year-old daughter "a horror show" to her face is a funny way of saying "I love you."
Dave Gives Richard Simmons Fashion Advice
We've featured Simmons on Letterman before, but this time, Dave gets to asking the question we've all been wondering— "What percentage of your day are you dressed like that?" Simmons doesn't look too amused and a heated discussion ensues. And by "heated," I don't mean that this in any way validates those hot pants he's got on.
Two-Headed Turtle Has Lady Troubles
You may have already seen this two-headed turtle. It's been working the talk show circuit and making guest appearances left and right, so to speak. So Letterman got the 411 and somehow this mutant turtle's still cruising solo (minus the extra head) down dating lane.
New TV Show: Quackers The S*?#" Eating Duck
Due to the unprecedented popularity of Quackers, the duck who appeared on Conan's show and left such a lasting impression, the NBC network has decided to let the duck take a "quack" at prime-time television. The show is titled "Quackers The S*?# Eating Duck." I don't know about you, but it looks pretty promising to me!
