Carrie Prejean appeared on Larry King Live to promote her new book, Still Standing. Apparently, Larry King is inappropriate, which, I can understand. Larry does do some hard-hitting journalism.

Jimmy Kimmel Goes to the Barber Shop, Asks about Obama Jokes

Will Johnston — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:00:06 +0000

I’m not usually the biggest Jimmy Kimmel fan, but he did a great spot where he went to a black barber shop to help figure out which jokes are appropriate and which would be deemed too racially offensive. There are two videos here, but if you’ve only got time for one, watch the second. It’s funnier.

Jon Stewart Weighs in on President Obama’s Trip to Copenhagen to Support Chicago’s Olympic Bid on The Daily Show

Will Johnston — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 09:04:03 +0000

Last night both Stewart and Colbert did pieces on Obama’s trip to Copenhagen in support of Chicago’s Olympic bid. I’ve embedded Stewart’s whole opening segment (about nine minutes). I’d recommend watching all of it, as the Olympics stuff is funnier in context, but if you’re in a hurry, you can skip to about four minutes in for the Olympics piece.

Colbert’s piece is also worth checking out.
