April 20, 2008— -- Here's a roundup of the late night comics.
Late Show
David Letterman: It was so nice here in New York City that Barack Obama could not find anyone who was bitter.
Real Time
Bill Maher: George Bush made a speech this week on global warming. The good news, he finally admits that it's real. The bad news, he wants to invade the sun.
The Colbert Report

The Tonight Show
Jay Leno: President Bush also told the pope that he has prayed every single day since he became president. Hey, since Bush became president we've all prayed every single day!
Late Show
Letterman: It was Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton debating and they've been doing this for a year and a half, and Hillary, honestly, is getting a little desperate -- so before the debate, she sneaks over to Barack Obama's podium, honest to god, and buries a Michael Dukakis jersey.
The Daily Show
Jon Stewart: Finally, 15 questions and 63 minutes into the debate...
George Stephanopoulos: Let me turn to the economy, that is the number one issue on Americans' minds right now...
Jon Stewart: Which is why we asked it 16th... You just said it was the number one issue on their minds and you asked it 16th? Although I guess in your defense, Eddie Money doesn't open the show with "Two Tickets to Paradise."
