The Late Late Show

Craig Ferguson: It has been a big week. Obama won, Hillary lost, and John McCain showed us he's not as old as we thought!

The Tonight Show

Jay Leno: Hard to believe Fidel Castro is gone. See? The embargo worked. Forty-nine years later -- he is outta there!

Late Show

David Letterman: Boy, oh boy, did you read about John McCain, ladies and gentlemen? Well, according to the New York Times, John McCain may have had an inappropriate relationship with a young blond. That sounds like presidential material to me!

Real Time

Bill Maher: There are some people who say after they watched this debate that Hillary was kind of conceding, that the Clinton campaign realizes end times are near for them. Well, I don't know, but I do know this -- today she replaced her campaign manager with Britney Spears' father.

The Tonight Show

Leno: Now that he is the Republican frontrunner, it looks like John McCain has changed his position on torture. He's now in favor of waterboarding, but only in very limited cases -- like if you're the editor of the New York Times.

Late Night

Conan O'Brien: The founders of Ben and Jerry's ice cream are endorsing Barack Obama instead of Hillary Clinton. That's true, yeah. Which makes sense because "Baracky Road" is a catchier name for an ice cream than "Pantsuits and Cream."
