Late-Night Comedians Herald Age of Obama
Thursday November 6, 2008 A roundup of late-night jokes about Obama's victory and the 2008 election outcome:
"Ladies and gentlemen, Barack Obama is our new president. And I think I speak for most Americans when I say, anybody mind if he starts a little early?" --David Letterman
"And people were worried about the Bradley effect. Apparently, it was not nearly as strong as the effect" --Jay Leno
"People all over the world are celebrating Obama’s victory. Sarah Palin watched the Russians celebrating from her house. ... Sen. John McCain’s concession speech was beautiful. It was dignified, and it was classy. And I think the reason for that is he didn't let Palin say anything." --Craig Ferguson
"President Bush called Barack Obama to congratulate him. ... Obama thanked the President for his call and for all he did to help him get elected." --Jimmy Kimmel
"I would like to say one thing to Senator John McCain. Listen, senator, you don't show up for me, America doesn't show up for you." --David Letterman
