Jay Leno: In an interview in People magazine, Barack Obama said he was more a fan of Sonny and Cher than he was a fan of Donny and Marie. Well, that should answer the question of whether he's black enough!

The Late, Late Show

Craig Ferguson: Earlier today, Hillary promised her husband would not be involved in any new sex scandals if she is elected president. Also today, Bill Clinton backed Barack Obama.

Late Night

Conan O'Brien: Today, just a few hours ago, former presidential candidate Mitt Romney asked his supporters to back Sen. John McCain. Yeah, that's good. Yeah. No, it's true. McCain is hoping that his white supporters will hit it off with Romney's really white supporters.
