A look at the best in late night political comedy.
Jan. 13, 2008 — -- A roundup of the late-night comics.
Real Time
Bill Maher: This is a ridiculous election. If I hear this word "change" one more time, I'm gonna change the channel -- that's what I want to change.
The Tonight Show
Jay Leno: Not such good news for John Edwards. He came in third, proving yes -- there are two Americas, and neither one is voting for him.
The Daily Show
Jon Stewart: I cannot get over Chuck Norris standing and endorsing Iowa winner Mike Huckabee... How many Total Gyms do you have to buy before Norris will throw down the endorsement?
Late Show
David Letterman: Hillary Clinton won the New Hampshire primary last night. It was a surprising victory, and today she is denying that she used human growth hormone.
The Tonight Show
Leno: You can tell it was a Republican event. Do you see how they timed the candidate's speeches? Here, take a look at this... 'Answers are limited to one minute and 30 seconds each, and if the answer runs long, the candidates and everyone else will hear this sound [Hillary Clinton laughing].'
The Colbert Report
Stephen Colbert: Giuliani said, upon his second defeat, he said quote, 'We've lulled our opponents into a false sense of confidence.' Oh yes! Everything is going according to plan. Those fools! They think they can win by winning!
