As The Ticket’s 54,000 Twitter followers here and 6,300+ Facebook fans here know, we regularly share our pick of the late-night jokes of interest. Here’s collection No. 3:
Leno: So, wait, Jerry Brown is the new old California governor. Hawaii Five-O is a top show. And Betty White is hotter than ever. What year is this? 1976?
Fallon: Ah, N.Y. Marathon weekend. That time every autumn when New York City’s best runners get together to be crushed by some guy from Nigeria.
Letterman: Election day. Big day. Millions and millions of Americans take time off from their job to pretend to go vote.
Fallon: Final election poll says 55% will vote for Republicans, 40% Democrats. So, I guess Obama will finally get that ‘change’ he’s always talking about.
Fallon: Did everyone watch the election returns? Tough, tough night for Democrats. But a terrific night for Washington moving companies.
Fallon: Everyone still talking about the nation’s awful unemployment rate. This week it went up by about 65 Democrats.
Leno: So this weekend we turn the clocks back an hour. Don’t confuse that with last Tuesday when the Democrats got their clocks cleaned.
Leno: I see Charlie Sheen is getting divorced. That’s gotta be tough. I just hope he can adapt to life as a single guy.
Leno: I don’t want to say the Texas Rangers pitching was bad, but they let more people walk than LA juries.
Fallon: NYC considers setting up a harassment-free zone for women to avoid male onlookers. We already have one. Its called Pier 1.
Leno: Chicago researchers say sleeping more can help lose weight: ‘Honey, I’m not sleeping on the couch. I’ve been dieting all weekend.’
