I love a politician who has a sense of humor and can poke fun at himself — like Robert Reich, U.S. Secretary of Labor under the Clinton Administration.  Here he is on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien as a hard-boiled street cop eager to bite crime in the shins.

Comedian Louis CK was on Late Night with Conan O’Brien explaining how amazing everything is, and yet nobody is happy. You’d think with all this technology and instant gratification, we would at least realize how lucky we are.

Late-Night TV Zinger Collection

Posted by Queuebot in Funny on February 1, 2009 at 1:23 pm

Strange de Jim has been archiving zingers delivered by late night TV show hosts for a decade. It’s probably the most complete archive of such one-liners – from 1999 through this past Friday.

Here’s an example from this past week:

The Daily Show titled the Rod Blagojevich story “Scumdog Million-Hairs,” and a White House story “Big ‘Bama’s House.”

Dave Letterman: “This woman had eight babies. Of course, now she’s moving to a much bigger shoe.” “Benjamin Button starts out old and ends up as a baby who’s adopted by Angelina Jolie.”

Jay Leno: “It’s Chinese New Year. Their resolution is to get the lead out.”

Jimmy Kimmel: “It’s Oprah’s birthday, and I feel sorry for Steadman. What do you give a woman who has her own President? You can’t just give her a mix tape.”

Conan O’Brien: “Viagra profits are down 90%. The president of the company said, ‘Honest, this has never happened before.
