The folks at the top aren't bad guys (Her people are afraid that Dorothy's house could drop on her)


"Ann Coulter is going to be on the show tomorrow night. Security is very tight. In fact, there is even restricted airspace over the studio. Her people are afraid that Dorothy's house could drop on her." --Jay Leno


 "As you know, the National Guard stands by, ready to go into action any time President Bush feels there's a big enough of a disaster, like a major earthquake, a huge flood, a 29% approval rating. Any one of those things could trigger movement." --Jay Leno


"This has been quite a week for Sarah Palin. She's been everywhere promoting her new book. She was on 'Oprah,' 'Good Morning America,' ABC 'World News,' 'Nightline,' Barbara Walters. Not to be outdone, next week, John McCain will be the guest corpse on 'CSI.'" –Jay Leno

This will mark the first time in history anyone has ever fought to stay in Detroit (We're now down to the final four)


"We're now down to the final four. Not college basketball. The

number of people who still think President Bush is doing a good

job." --Jay Leno


"In Washington President Bush came out of the white house and saw his shadow...Cindy Sheehan." --Jay Leno

 

"It is getting nasty among the Democrats. I guess some Clinton staffers released a photo of Barack Obama wearing a turban during his trip to Africa in 2006. It was the local traditional clothing, but they hoped it would reflect badly on Barack. Show the picture [on screen: photo of Obama wearing a traditional Somali dress]. Well, in response, the Obama campaign leaked a photo of Hillary in her traditional garb. Did you see that? Can we show that photo? [on screen: picture of the Wicked Witch of the West]." --Jay Leno


"Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, she's trying to schedule a hearing to remove Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick from office, but Kilpatrick is fighting it. This is historic: this will mark the first time in history anyone has ever fought to stay in Detroit." --Jay Leno

They got money for war but can't feed the poor (do you really need an excuse?)


"There are reports that leaders from ISIS and al-Qaida met at a farmhouse in Syria last week, and agreed to work together against their common enemies. That story again: Two radical terrorist groups managed to do what two American political parties cannot." –Jimmy Fallon


"Yesterday the Supreme Court lifted the ban on same-sex marriage in Kansas. They didn't give a reason for the ruling, but then again when a state is famous for a Judy Garland musical about a rainbow and a wizard who comes out of a closet, do you really need an excuse?" –Jimmy Fallon


"After a six-year battle, the Senate will vote next week to begin construction on the Keystone XL pipeline, which is an oil pipeline that runs from Canada to the Gulf Coast. They're hoping the pipeline will provide enough oil to cover Kim Kardashian's next photo shoot." –Jimmy Fallon

Oh my god, I'd hate to see anything take away our standing as the Great Satan (Her people are afraid that Dorothy's house could drop on her)

Flying monkeys and a witch (There were three Spidermen in it!)


February 2022

“I am taking issue with the 2022 Oscar nominations that were announced on Tuesday morning, which did not include a nod for last year’s biggest blockbuster, Spider-Man: No Way Home. How did that not get one of the ten nominations for best picture? There were only 11 movies made this year Forget the fact that the movie made $750m and is still going – this is a great movie. It wasn’t in the top 10 best movies of the year? There were three Spidermen in it!” —Jimmy Kimmel

“I am particularly annoyed that Spider-Man, starring Tom Holland and Zendaya, was snubbed in favor of such ‘serious’ movies as Don’t Look Up, a darkly comic parable for climate emergency directed by Adam McKay. You’re telling me Don’t Look Up was better than Spider-Man? It most certainly was not. When did we decide that the best picture has to be serious? As far as I know, this was not the point of feature film when they started making them. Ben-Hur? Chariots and leprosy. Frankenstein? A monster powered by lightning. Fantasia? Mickey Mouse on an acid trip. The Wizard of Oz? Flying monkeys and a witch. These are great Oscar-worthy movies!” —Jimmy Kimmel

“Now, there’s nothing wrong with a serious movie, a lot of them are fantastic and worthy of Oscars. But why do they have to be serious, is what I’m saying. When did that become a prerequisite for getting nominated for an Academy Award? Here’s what happened. The Academy voters, they looked at the list, they saw the names Leo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep, they checked that box, and then they put their kids in the car and they went to see the movie Spider-Man, and they loved it.” —Jimmy Kimmel

If only we could pay no attention to the man behind the curtain (there is nobody who matches his wisdom)

“Before you judge Trump, he is technically correct — there is nobody who matches his wisdom. He is correct! I mean, no other person — no other person had the wisdom to stare directly into a solar eclipse, huh?” --Trevor Noah

“And people were very quick to point out that this made Trump sound like the wizard from The Wizard of Oz. If only we could pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.” --James Corden

“That would be reassuring if you ever considered anything off limits. You had sex with a porn star, you partied with Jeffrey Epstein, and you drive your golf cart on the green. The only way you’ll stop Turkey is if they try to get your tax returns.” --Seth Meyers

“Come on — he’s the president; we have to take his job seriously. It’s not his job to outrage people. You’re talking about him like he’s some shock jock with a morning radio show.” --Seth Meyers

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.

Hope is nice but I prefer No Bullsh*t (He’s already picked out a hunting buddy)


"Doctors say Dick Cheney may need a heart transplant, but Cheney isn’t worried. He’s already picked out a hunting buddy." –David Letterman

"Dick Cheney predicts that President Obama will only last one term. This is coming from the same guy that predicted weapons of mass destruction in Iraq." –David Letterman

"President Hu Jintao from China is visiting the United States. Ahead of the big state dinner, President Obama went to Hu's hotel and slipped a menu under the door." –David Letterman

"Dick Cheney may need a new heart. I say we waterboard the Wizard of Oz." –Stephen Colbert

He hasn't been this happy since he saved all that money by not paying taxes (the Wicked Witch is even angrier)


"In the Delaware Republican U.S. Senate primary, Tea Party candidate Christine O'Donnell won a huge upset. Interesting woman, very conservative. She has come out against masturbation. So not only is she against politicians putting their hands in our pockets, she's against you putting your hands in your own pockets as well." –Jay Leno

"Democratic Congressman Charlie Rangel easily won his primary. He hasn't been this happy since he saved all that money by not paying taxes. " –Jay Leno

"Nancy Pelosi's Republican opponent, John Dennis, has an ad where he depicts Pelosi as the Wicked Witch of the West. Pelosi is very angry and the Wicked Witch is even angrier." –Jay Leno

Bush became president because the White House had a bowling alley in the basement (after she got married, her favorite movie was Kill Bill)


"President Bush's approval is at an all-time low. Say what you want about the guy, but he didn't become president to make friends. He became president because the White House had a bowling alley in the basement." --Jimmy Kimmel
"Hillary Clinton announced officially she will be running for president. Besides announcing her candidacy on the Internet, she's also selling all her old headbands on Craigslist." --Jimmy Kimmel
"Hillary Clinton announced she is running for president of the United States, which isn't a surprise to many people -- except maybe those who just voted her for a second term as senator." --Jay Leno
"In a series of TV interviews this morning, Hillary said her favorite movie as a little girl was 'Wizard of Oz.' Her favorite movie in college was 'Casablanca.' And then after she got married, her favorite movie was 'Kill Bill.'" --Jay Leno

Cheney needs a heart. Gonzales needs some courage. Bush needs a brain (cleavage, pt. 2)



"A new survey says that 58% of the people who follow the news think Attorney General Alberto Gonzales should resign. Of course, President Bush is not in that group. You know of people who follow the news. This whole administration is turning into a bad version of 'Wizard of Oz.' Cheney needs a heart. Gonzales needs some courage. Bush needs a brain." --Jay Leno

"Are you talking about how sexy Hillary Clinton looks? Everybody's talking about it. She's dressing so much sexier. Folks down in Washington in the Capitol building say they haven't seen this much cleavage in the Senate since Ted Kennedy." --David Letterman

All Trump needs are some ruby slippers, and he’s off to see the wizard!



Well guys, it is official — football has begun! I saw that the Patriots will play a game in Mexico this November. And once they’re down there, the rest of the league will say, “OK, build the wall! Quick — we have a chance!” –Jimmy Fallon

Meanwhile, the New York Jets are 1000-to-1 long shots to win the Super Bowl. That means if you bet just one dollar... you will lose just one dollar. –Jimmy Fallon

Congressional leaders are still upset with President Trump’s decision on the DACA immigration plan. They called it “brainless,” “heartless,” and “cowardly.” All Trump needs are some ruby slippers, and he’s off to see the wizard! –Jimmy Fallon

is a phrase that you don’t say about Donald Trump (state-sponsored propaganda)




You know who is going to have a nice, fun long weekend? Donald Trump. Because starting today, he begins a 17-day vacation. [Audience boos.] No, he’s earned it ... is a phrase that you don’t say about Donald Trump. –Stephen Colbert

Trump has spent the last year telling us that the mainstream media is “fake news.” So now he’s finally fighting back, because President Trump has launched his own news program on his Facebook page ... that LOOKS like state-sponsored propaganda. –Stephen Colbert

Man, O’Reilly really will hit on anything in a dress (The Wizard of Oz)

Wicked Witch of the West (Ryan cuts your tethers)



"Oh, and Barack Obama made another woman faint today. The bad news, it was Hillary when she saw the poll numbers." --Jay Leno

"There could be problems for Hillary Clinton. Apparently, there are 14 states to go, and she only has 12 pantsuits left." --Jay Leno

"It is getting nasty among the Democrats. I guess some Clinton staffers released a photo of Barack Obama wearing a turban during his trip to Africa in 2006. It was the local traditional clothing, but they hoped it would reflect badly on Barack. Show the picture [on screen: photo of Obama wearing a traditional Somali dress]. Well, in response, the Obama campaign leaked a photo of Hillary in her traditional garb. Did you see that? Can we show that photo? [on screen: picture of the Wicked Witch of the West]." --Jay Leno

Hillary asks Bill to do is to stop winking when he says that (throws the curve way off)



"In a recent speech, former President Bill Clinton said that if  Hillary runs for president, he'll do whatever is asked of him. Hillary says the first thing she's going to ask Bill to do is to stop winking when he says that." --Conan O'Brien

"Ann Coulter is going to be on the show tomorrow night. Security is very tight. In fact, there is even restricted airspace over the studio. Her people are afraid that Dorothy's house could drop on her." --Jay Leno

The Great Wall of Chimichanga (but I don't think he's praying)


"The United States Senate today took some steps to keep illegal immigrants out of our 'American Idol' competitions. They voted to build a 370-mile long fence along the border between the U.S. and Mexico. They also announced that they're going to hire illegal immigrant workers to build it. The Senators voted overwhelmingly for the fence. As I said, it is 370 miles long. Unfortunately, the actual border with Mexico is more than 2,000 miles long. So, I guess the message is 'go around.' Tentatively, they're calling it 'The Great Wall of Chimichanga.'" --Jimmy Kimmel

"I'd like to talk to you for a minute about Jesus. Have you taken him as your personal Lord and Savior? No? Then you're probably not in politics. In recent years, religious fundamentalists have evolved [on screen: John McCain]. I'm sorry -- intelligently designed themselves [on screen: Hillary Clinton] into a force to be reckoned with [on screen: Rev. Pat Robertson]. How powerful are they? [on screen: Howard Dean]. Powerful enough to make Howard Dean a temporary member of the 700 Club, which, by the way, is the number of votes he got from evangelicals when he ran for president. Well, he's on his knees, but I don't think he's praying." --Lewis Black, on The Daily Show



Pay No Attention To That Man behind The Curtain! (you're a terrible person)



"Why does Robert Novak hate and why me? It's like I publicly revealed some piece of information he didn't want people to know, and ruined his career. And then, kept asserting it was everyone else's fault, but mine. I don't like this bad blood between us, Robert. If you're watching, and I know you're not, I think it's time to bury the hatchet. We need to get together and talk. We'll meet on neutral ground. You're on Fox. I'm on Comedy Central. How about the Food Network? We can work this out because I know that you're a good person deep down in your thing that they replaced your heart with. I see your redeeming qualities. For example, when I see you on television, you generously absorb all light and oxygen. When you leave an area, it stops raining. And I know in the past I've referred to you as a douchebag, but that's not an air of grandeur, that's just mean. I only said those things to you because I sincerely believe you're a terrible person." --Jon Stewart

"Remember America, we started with an armed conflict. It's called the Revolutionary War, not the Revolutionary let's all sit down and talk about our feelings. So I'm surprised to hear the military can't find enough new recruits even after increasing the maximum recruitment age to 41. I don't get it. Why aren't ageing baby boomers jumping at the chance for an exciting second career? They've even lowered the physical requirement. For a 17 year-old soldier the requirements are 47 sit-ups and 35 push-ups but for a 41 year-old it's a tough but fair 29 sit-ups and 24 push-ups. And eventually when they start recruiting retirees, say by March 2007, elderly troops will qualify with two stand-ups, five thumbs-ups, and a 2-minute complaint about the salad dressing selection at Bennigans." --Stephen Colbert

Way to go, Einstein.



I saw that one hundred years ago this month, Albert Einstein presented his theory of General Relativity, which explains how gravity works. And it also marks the last time someone actually meant it when they said, “Way to go, Einstein.” –Jimmy Fallon

Ted Cruz's campaign announced that it's going to launch a national “prayer team” next month, where people will pray for Cruz to win. Then God said, “Oh I tuned out of this thing weeks ago.” –Jimmy Fallon
Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka said that her father loves eating at McDonald's. It makes sense, considering the “McFlurry” is also what Trump asks for when he goes to the barber. –Jimmy Fallon

That explains the light turnout for the midterm elections



"Yesterday the Supreme Court lifted the ban on same-sex marriage in Kansas. They didn't give a reason for the ruling, but then again when a state is famous for a Judy Garland musical about a rainbow and a wizard who comes out of a closet, do you really need an excuse?" –Jimmy Fallon




"We thought New York City was home to 8 million rats. Turns out, that's a little high. The actual number is 2 million rats. That explains the light turnout for the midterm elections." –David Letterman
