June 8, 2008— -- Here's a roundup of the late night comics.

Stephen Colbert: This can't be over! It seems like it started only 17 months ago.

Jay Leno: I think it's finally starting to sink in to Hillary that she didn't get it. Like, today, she went down to Ikea because I think she realizes this is the only chance she will have to put together her own cabinet.

David Letterman: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, would that be a good ticket? Would you folks like that ticket? I think this would be the first -- if you think about it -- first combination of an African-American man and a white woman since... well... Michael Jackson.

Conan O'Brien: Speculation about John McCain's possible running mate. Experts say he wants someone who is not afraid to attack Barack Obama. That's who he's looking for, yeah, which explains why McCain has decided to pick Hillary Clinton.

Leno: According to the New York Times, a new study says that red wine may slow down the aging process. In a related story, John McCain is now drinking 28 glasses of red wine a day.

Jon Stewart: So it is that Barack Hussein Napoleon Pol Pot Obama now has a chance to become the first African-American president since season one of "24."
