McCain/Letterman, Biden/Leno, SNL/Crazy Lady? All Here!

Just when we thought it was going to get all grim and serious for the last 18 days of the election, the funnies come marching in! After LOL performances by both candidates at the Al Smith dinner — and despite jokes falling 7-1 against Republicans, which I'm sure were helped in part by Letterman's recent . . . . disgruntlement with McCain — the Mac showed up and told Dave last night the line more men might take advantage of: "I screwed up."

After taking a helicopter to the show to make darn sure he didn't miss it this time, Dave asked, "can you stay?" Laughs, but not all fun and games — he also hit McCain with serious questions about his association with Watergate player G. Gordon Liddy.

It was a tough and funny night — but McCain and Dave weren't the only ones yukking it up. SNL was on last night, and Joe Biden stopped by Leno — to see the clips,

Lighten Up: Hillary Loves America on Letterman

On this North Carolina/Indiana morning, I'm feeling a little like harmonyfrance. Seven hours till the Indiana polls close (thank you CNN countdown clock) and this McCain voter is all shades of Hillary-lovin'. But. . . the goodwill (good-Hill?) might stop at her appearance last night on The Late Show. In a weird pre-taped, satellite performance, Hillary gave the Top Ten, and well — it didn't track for me as the pollsters say.

It was just so obviously taped in one take, and didn't appeal to the comic demographic if you will. Even Dave seemed to phone it in. Ah well, you know what they say — bad Top Ten the night before, good election returns to come! OK they don't say that, but they might if she wins!

Funny? Not funny? Will you vote for Obama based on this alone?

Lighten Up: Pop Culture Takes Over Presidential Race

It might just be the new populism. Being hip with the pop culture tastes of the American voter is the new litmus test for readiness to lead.

In the past few months, all three candidates have body-slammed their way into the WWE, John McCain proved he not only knows The Hills exists but accepted an endorsement from Heidi, Hillary's been on Tyra's show, and George Bush threatened to send Jessica Simpson to the Democratic Convention to confuse the enemy.

Barack Obama was the latest entrant into the "Bill Clinton on Arsenio" Hall of Fame when he surprised Letterman's Top Ten list last night. He uttered those two famous names (see #10) that apparently every candidate must to be taken at all seriously in this race. To check out his appearance,

Heidi Tells Dave About Her Big Trip to the White House

For those of you in that Venn diagram of loving The Hills, David Letterman, and politics — hey, it could happen — Miss Heidi was on The Late Show last night telling Dave all about her trip to the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Get Flash to see this player.

Did Heidi just predict the winner of the election? She met Meghan McCain, who was "so sweet," and they planned a White House BBQ for "when that all happens." Hmm! Maybe Heidi knows something we don't!

John McCain Whoops It Up With Letterman

Who looks like the guy who "points out spots they missed at the car wash"? Nope, not your dad! It's everybody's favorite snowy-haired Republican, John McCain! He was on Letterman last night, crashing into Dave's monologue.

Get Flash to see this player.

He gave almost as good as he got. "You look like the night manager of a creepy motel." I don't know, but after the big bowling joke, I might be voting Hillary for funniest candidate. Who knew?!

Lighten Up: Obama's Top Ten on Letterman Last Night

In case your bedtime is as early as mine, here's Barack Obama's Top Ten list from last night. Mitt Romney's got a new job to look forward to apparently . . . Secretary of Looking Good!

So Oprah as Veep? Do you think she'd do it?
