I knew it! I knew Dave would take a jab at NBC. I admit it was a good one.

EDIT: I forgot to mention how my favorite moment was when Dave was about to plug in heated underwear when the lights dim, and a writer talks about how we should support the writers so Dave can finish the joke.

[Mr. Manager]

The top ten list read by by the Daily Show and Colbert Report writers was fantastic, especially the "I want to date a woman" line. I thought it was funny that they showed one of Hal Gurdee's NBC Network Timekillers from the last writers strike. Tomorrow should be a pretty good show, with Bill Maher, who'll probbly have some funny things to say about the AMPTP, and also, Ellen Page, who was pretty good in Juno.

Hilarious return to form. The top 10 was very funny, as was the bit with Jack Jackoway (I'm still laughing at the name!) and the public service announcement from the WGA. Plus, Robin Williams added more comedy to the show.

[The Penguin]

I watched the first episode and some of Friday's. Other than the WGA strike comments, it seems like Dave never left. He's talked about shaving the beard tonight on air, so I will have to tune in. Mike Huckabee will be continuing his talk show rounds.

My final post of January. Dave's Beard is off now.

[The Penguin]

Has anyone been watching Dave lately? He may be out of the campaign now, but I have been loving Dave's Mitt Romney jokes. If you haven't seen them, CBS uploads Dave's monologue on YouTube. Just who does Mitt look like?

"He looks like a tour guide at the Nixon Library."
"He looks like the guy who shakes your hand too hard."
"He looks like the American President in a Canadian movie."
"He looks like a guy on a cruise ship who teaches your wife how to cha-cha-cha."

[The Penguin]

"He looks like the white hunter who ignores Tarzan's warning."

[Mr. Manager]

That was great when the Marisa Miller interview came down to Dave not listening and just flipping through the Sports Illustrated.

[The Penguin]

I had to check out tonight's show because John McCain stopped by to combat the jokes about who he looks like...

"You look like the guy whose neighbors later say, 'he mostly kept to himself'."
"You look like the night manager of a creepy motel."

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

I think Dave needs to take a break from his "McCain/Spitzer/Etc looks like a guy who..." opening monologue jokes.
