The Tonight Show

Jay Leno: McCain also said the war in Iraq will be over by the year 2013, which is also when I think Hillary is expected to pull out of the race.

Late Night

Conan O'Brien: Barack Obama was speaking to a Jewish group and he told them that his name Barack is the same as the Jewish word "Baruch," which means "one who's blessed." That's what he said, yeah, Obama had a harder time explaining his middle name, "Hussein."

The Late Late Show

Craig Ferguson: It is a big night -- American Idol and the Democratic primaries. On the one hand, a juvenile popularity contest that nobody cares about anymore, and on the other hand -- "American Idol."

Late Show

David Letterman: I mean, you got to hand it to her -- she keeps showing up for the primary. She won in Kentucky, she won big in Kentucky. Hillary is ready for the big Puerto Rico primary. She plans to campaign in a skimpy two-piece pant suit.

Late Night

O'Brien: This week, Barack Obama -- true story -- campaigned on an Indian reservation and the tribal chief adopted him. Yeah, adopted him -- part of the ceremony. Yeah, the Indians actually prefer Obama to John McCain because they still remember when McCain took their land.

The Tonight Show

Leno: On the news earlier tonight, they showed Barack Obama back in Iowa. Back in Iowa -- and I got scared, I went "Oh no! We're starting all over again! ARGHH!"
