  - you're kidding, right? -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 10:25
- So, all three branches of government are in a "who's the worst" contest. That's all you had to say. -- nm - Roger More Jan 21, 10:22 1
  - "Come to Canada! Our Conservative government won't even think about touching UHC!" -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 10:24

LIR kilbo - no I cannot get to logmein.com - sycor Jan 21, 10:20
This late night talk show battle has got people watching - and talking - about late night. When was the last time people showed this kind of interest? -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Jan 21, 10:17 6
- Prolonged interest like this? The Late Shift. One-offs or brief hits? Grant on Leno or Barrymore flashing Letterman. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 10:19 4
  - Dave's surgery. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 10:21 3
    - But that was because musubi used it to make sex jokes. -- nm - Dano Jan 21, 10:25
    - Dave's blackmail. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Jan 21, 10:24
    - I just thought of a better one. The week post-9/11. Everyone I know was watching then. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 10:23
- The last time there was a fight over who would host what show? -- nm - Roger More Jan 21, 10:19

  - exactly. - znufrii Jan 21, 10:21
last night's Leverage minor Jeri Ryan spoiler - peglegpete Jan 21, 10:15
A three-year extension for Wade Phillips...I wonder what Vegas odds a person could get for him to fulfilling the entire contract. -- nm - David Jan 21, 10:14 5
- 6:1 -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:19 1
  - You're like three zeroes low. Hell, even Jimmy Johnson only made it 5 years there. -- nm - David Jan 21, 10:22
- Don't. Look. Behind you. -- (link) - Beaker Jan 21, 10:16 [Image] 2

- bring a poison pen -- nm - J Jan 21, 10:08
- you're gonna miss Sparticus on Starz :) -- nm - peglegpete Jan 21, 10:06 1
  - I just called the store they said people are already in line. Um I may miss a lot/ may not be able to get to this. -- nm - MDH Jan 21, 10:11
[deleted] 24
- I think there is a line, but Leno never when anywhere near that line. - musubi Jan 21, 10:10 5
  - Signed, Jay Leno's #1 Fan! -- nm - David Jan 21, 10:11 4
    - Why did this make me laugh so hard? I don't know. But it did. By the way...do you agree with Kim? - Jim Jan 21, 10:23 1
      - I think the best you can hope for is "Not-Russell Jim" -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:25
    - Yeah, cause that's exactly what I've been saying. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:12 1
      - I *know*! -- nm - David Jan 21, 10:13
- There's no line in comedy for comics, but there is for the audience -- nm - Roger More Jan 21, 10:06 17
  - [deleted] 16
    - "It wasn't funny, and it came across as being dickish." What more criticism is being leveled? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 10:12 6
      - That he crossed a line by being too personal. That Dave was joking about "business" and Leno was "personal". - musubi Jan 21, 10:13 5
        
        ...because it came across as dickish. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 10:15 4
        
        ...mostly to people who already thought he was a dick anyway... -- nm - Stephen Jan 21, 10:23 1
        
        *raises hand* Not me. - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:25
        
        Not to Moose! -- nm - David Jan 21, 10:22
        
        But it'd be ok if it were funny? I disagree. Something is too personal because it's too personal, not because it's unfunny. - musubi Jan 21, 10:20
    - I agree totally. But you're never going to stop people from debating over whether a comedian crossed the line. -- nm - Roger More Jan 21, 10:10
    - Funny gets you forgiveness; unfunny gets you hammered for being a dick - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:09 7
      - Why *wouldn't* he try to hit back. Dave has been *scathing* to Leno. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:12 6
        
        If he's unfunny enough to figure out a retort without resorting to the base "You like screwing interns".....he shouldn't be in comedy - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:18 2
        
        That's not even remotely what happened. Dave and Kimmel called him two-faced, a liar, accused him of stealing material. - musubi Jan 21, 10:22 1
        
        Professional, professional, professional.....personal. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:26
        
        Well, seems like the writers could have came up with something funny, for starters. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 10:13 2
        
        Again: Have you seen Leno? I don't think he's capable of funny. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:14 1
        
        Sure he is! -- nm - NBC Jan 21, 10:14
Moose, the point is if you are going to go off topic, you have to *nail* it to have any chance of success. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 10:03 7
- Much of the shots that Letterman has been taking at Jay are based on his character. That he's two-faced, a backstabber, etc. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 10:12 1
  - what the hell does the NHL have to do with the tonight show? What a reach. That's below the belt, man! - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:19
- the return fire from Letterman should be interesting... -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 21, 10:07 1
  - Indeed. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 10:08
- I never disagreed with it being off topic or unsuccessful. It's totally both. His delivery was painfully unfunny. - musubi Jan 21, 10:06
- I hope Letterman ignores it -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:04 1
  - (Or proposes marriage to Leno) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:04
can we talk about something less divisive now? say, abortion or gun rights?? -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 10:01 4
- Are we sure that Jay Leno isn't posting from pixie's account? -- nm - Roger More Jan 21, 10:02
- I don't see an argument here. I can't think of anyone that would approve of abortions performed with a gun. -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 10:02
- how is your box holding up with all this rain? -- nm - peglegpete Jan 21, 10:02
- Abortions for some, miniature american flags for the rest -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:02
Look at the baby with the cream puffs. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Jan 21, 10:00
FWIW - I think that Lettermen's imitations of Jay's talking have been hilarious - he gets the voice, word choice, pacing - all of it pretty close to - JenBro Jan 21, 09:59
fwiw, the "kids vs cars" reference was Dave (I think) saying that Conan and Kimmel are "family men" and Jay just has his cars. - Beryllium Jan 21, 09:55 5
- I remember Kimmel hitting the "me and Conan are family men" issue. Was it a recurring them? -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Jan 21, 10:02
- I thought Kimmel said that one when he did the top 10 with Leno -- nm - decline Jan 21, 09:56 3
  - Dave used it too. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:08
  - yes, that one was from kimmel. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jan 21, 09:59
  - It may have been mentioned more than once -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 09:57

I hate arguing statistics with people who don't understand statistics. - mafic Jan 21, 09:52 2
- Poor musubi. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:53
- it is if you are the outlier! -- nm - decline Jan 21, 09:53
So I guess it is safe to assume that cheating politician jokes are off-limits here because it can hurt their spouse. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 09:52 15
- Stephen Harper is ugly! - mafic Jan 21, 09:55 1
  - heheh, stephen harper got mentioned on Fallon last night -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 09:56
- hypothetically . . . -- nm - Charlie Weis Jan 21, 09:55
- way to go broad-brush after specifics were being discussed. (I'm done.) -- nm - b. Jan 21, 09:55
- Are we running for office? -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:54
- If I'm in the middle of a fight with them and I retaliate with "So, fuck any interns recently?" - Will Hunting Jan 21, 09:54 3
  - Sadly, even Leno is funnier than you. Cause his joke is better than that. - musubi Jan 21, 09:58 2
    - I boil things down to simple terms. Unfunny stuff trying to be a joke is just beneath all of us. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 09:59
    - Actually, no. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:59
- The logic as it's presented is, if the politician makes some topical insult first, then you can't use anything except topical insults in return. - musubi Jan 21, 09:53 4
  - No, this is more like Dave/Conan making a joke about Obama's performance or Administration, then Jay makes a blackface joke. - JaxSean Jan 21, 09:57 3
    - This is not even remotely analogous. - musubi Jan 21, 10:00 2
      - Yes it is, because you're missing the point. Dave & Conan have been making fun of the situation and the NBC situation. Jay went insulting to Dave's - JaxSean Jan 21, 10:05 1
        
        Conan has been making fun of the situation. Dave and Kimmel have been going after Jay. - musubi Jan 21, 10:07
- well, it's been real people . . . -- nm - ML si Jan 21, 09:53
Loyola: CSI: is my fav show. Btw "Trauma" gets an additional order for 4 episodes bringing its total to 20 -- nm - MDH Jan 21, 09:51 5
- they're gonna run out of shit to blow up before episode 2 -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 10:04
- I will keep you in my thoughts. -- nm - Loyola Jan 21, 09:54 3
  - perv -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:55
  - What's so wrong with it? -- nm - MDH Jan 21, 09:55 1
    - I don't know. It gives me headaches. -- nm - Loyola Jan 21, 09:55
moose...Leno taking the Tonight Show back in the day is relevant to Leno taking the Tonight Show now. - Jim Jan 21, 09:51 11
- *Perfection* -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:52
- You're saying it's not relevant because it's not *current*. That's aplying a standard that never arises anywhere else. - musubi Jan 21, 09:52 8
  - I'm saying it's not relevant because Dave banging interns has nothing to do with Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien or the Tonight Show - Jim Jan 21, 09:54 7
    - My question is *why does it have to be relevant to the Tonight Show*? - musubi Jan 21, 09:56 6
      - Why not come back with how he routinely kicked Letterman's ass in the ratings for all those years? - Jim Jan 21, 10:00 1
        
        Mostly cause he's a crappy comedian. And Jay has point out numerous times he was #1. Unfunnily, as always. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:04
      - the argument is that Jay Leno is the inspiration for Syndrome from The Incredibles. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 09:57 3
        
        Plus Mr. Incredible's chin. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:58 1
        
        IIRC, Syndrome had quite a chin of his own -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:03
        
        *kick* -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 09:57
- This is in response to... -- (link) - Jim Jan 21, 09:51 [Backboard]
Recession? What recession?? -- (link) - Goldman Sachs Jan 21, 09:48 3
- Meanwhile stock market down quite a bit for the second straight day. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 21, 09:49 2
  - ebay is up 9% !! -- nm - decline Jan 21, 09:51

(This is going to become more common.) Purchase Sundance Film, One Too Many Mornings, the day after its Sundance premiere. (trailer at link) -- (link) - When in Dano Jan 21, 09:46 4
- John August had interesting thoughts following his own experience at Sundance with "The Nines" -- (link) - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 09:52 3
  - Do you write any stuff that could realistically be done for low to mid 5 figures? - When in Dano Jan 21, 10:04 2
    - i think my rom-com, if i ever get it rewritten properly, could be indie-friendly - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 10:07 1
      - When you get it to a point where you think it's ready, can you send it to me? -- nm - Dano Jan 21, 10:20
can't you see that David Letterman's penis is tearing us apart?! -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 09:44 5
- Technically, this should be Jay Leno's. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:46 1
  - ... penis *or* joke. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:47
- two holes -- nm - When in Dano Jan 21, 09:46
- What's a penis? -- nm - Obama Reid si Jan 21, 09:45 1
  - PNS -- nm - Max Jan 21, 09:46
Can't anyone see this late night talk show battle is tearing us apart? -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:44 4
- Nah...it's just musubi. :) -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 09:51
- Not in the authentic James Dean sense, no. -- nm - OAE Jan 21, 09:51 1
  - Can someone get a translator? -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 09:52
