Roundup of Late Night Shows' Funnies

Barack Obama's 2009 Inauguration's Best Laughs

Colbert Report

Colbert: Barack Obama's first act as commander in chief was to bungle Chief Justice Robert's perfectly reasonable attempt to rewrite the oath of office.

Tonight Show

Leno: President Barack Obama signed an executive order calling for the closure of Guantanamo Bay within a year. You know how he can close it faster? Make it a bank, okay?

Late Night

Conan: Today was Joe Biden's first full day as vice president. Yeah, advisers say Biden spent most of the day watering his hair.

Colbert Report

Colbert: The Constitution says that the president takes office at noon on Inauguration Day, oath or no. So I'm pretty sure that means the presidency goes to whoever was on camera at noon. Jimmy, do we have that? The new president is Yo Yo Ma!


Tonight Show

Leno: The inauguration ceremony must have a tremendous impact on the rest of the world. You see this latest picture of Osama bin Laden? Look at this -- isn't that Aretha's hat? [picture of bin Laden with Aretha Franklin's inauguration hat.]

Daily Show

Reverend: When brown can stick around. When yellow will be mellow. When the red man can get ahead, man. Stewart: When blue will be allowed in too. When puce will be set loose. When we rise above the minutia of fuchsia.

Obama is now the 44th President!

Just finished watching Obama's speech and other news coverage - what an historic time, what emotion for millions around the world. There must be millions of people crowded together on the Washington Mall. It reminds me of when the Pope in Rome, Italy celebrates Mass in St. Peter's Square and a million strong gather.

Interesting is that the ceremony ran a little long and by so doing Obama became the 44th President exactly at noon BEFORE he took the oath of office four minutes later. How many of you knew that bit of trivia?

Congrats Mr. President! May you be successful in all endeavors.

Denny

A new day is here!
