Funnies: The Real Heckler Behind 'You Lie!'
A look at the best in late-night political comedy.
Sept. 13, 2009 — -- Here's a roundup of the late-night comics.
Jimmy Fallon: President Obama said that he will not sign a health care plan that adds one dime to the federal deficit. And then he interrupted himself and said, "You lie."
Dave Letterman: Paula Abdul, of course, was the judge that Ellen [DeGeneres] is replacing, but don't worry about Paula Abdul. You know what she is going to do, I just heard this today: She's running for governor of Alaska.
Craig Ferguson: Did you see President Obama's health care speech to Congress last night? I watched every single minute and even took notes. You're thinking, Craig, you lie!
Conan O'Brien: Republican Congressman Joe Wilson's apologized for calling President Obama a liar. Obama accepted Wilson's apology and then invited him to appear before a death panel.
President Obama (clip from joint session): The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.
Man in audience: You lie! Oh, sorry, Mr. President, I was talking about my favorite month -- it's not August, it's not September. It is July!
