Wednesday's Late Night Round-Up: Bo Obama, Morning Joe, And Craig T. Nelson (VIDEO)

Jon Stewart mocked the "Morning Joe" team last night for their new affiliation with Starbucks saying they would now be required to let homeless men use their restrooms. Colbert tipped his hat to Craig T. Nelson who recently disavowed the government bailouts saying:

"What happened to society? I go into business, I don't make it, I go bankrupt. I've been on food stamps and welfare, did anybody help me out? No. No. They gave me hope, they gave me encouragement, and they gave me a vision."

I'm gonna let the ridiculousness of that statement sink in while you watch this the rest of the video which includes Conan talking about Bo Obama and Jimmy Kimmel's unintentional joke of the day.

Good move for Starbucks. Advertising.

Bad move for Morning Joe. Prostitution.

[rhondadavis28]

DD much more mt speed/price tag

[Patricia84]

OMG, pipetoe, after reading your posts on this, you really are stupid or having a stupid moment or being totally oblivious or ... well you get my point.

They should do a spot on Norm Coleman's plastic surgery. His before nose was astoundingly grotesque. It looked like someone had flattened his face with a smack to the face with a 2x4 or something:

Actually, Craig made his point very well by using himself as exhibit A. Must be one spoiled celebrity.

[AmandaBC]

Conan = great start
YouTwitFace = already a classic

[slaxx]

since when are colbert and stewart considered "late night"?

[halfitaliangirl]

1100 and 1130 PST is late night!

[richardwb]

That's not even noon yet. Almost lunch in Cali Fornia.

[Enid]

BUISSNESS GETS THE GIFT OF RIGHTOFFS how's that for a give.

[slaxx]

what are you talking about? go start your own business.

[Dailyfare]

So let me get this straight: when minorities take advantage of government programs, it's welfare and a drain on the system. When white guys do it, it's pulling themselves up by their bootstraps?

[julia23]

Rush has been on unemployment several times, and I think he collected welfare too.

[HC4BO]

Bingo ...

Conservative thinking at its best ...

[MerrieWay]

Starbuck's is part of 'Bling' mentality. Spend $3.50 a cup of fancy 'Joe' daily -- adds up to over $1200. per year.
MerrieWay reminder: At Starbuck's you get a temporary office (laptop plug-in), a place to network, meet new chums...and full use of the powder room. Such a deal!

It's not even very good coffee, IMO. They have dozens of blends which all taste the same. I can drink copious amounts of coffee when I want to, but after 1 medium cup of SB's, my stomach is wrecked.

What is the problem with what Craig T. Nelson said.

[yliza]

"I was on welfare and food stamps and nobody helped me."

Welfare and food stamps ARE help. When things got bad for him he was able to go to the government and get enough support to see him through the rough patch.

[skymuffin]

Yeah, it's like when Clarence Thomas said no one ever helped him in life. Nevermind, Brown v. Board of Education, and countless people who fought for African-American's right to vote, go to the same hotels, eat in the same restaurants, and for the right to become a mediocre Supreme Court Justice.

[pipetoe]

The point is that he got off of food stamps and welfare....Those things should be there as a crutch not a way of life....Craig T. Nelson is a recovered alcoholic...He speaks openly about it...What's wrong with that. That is probably one of the reasons he was on food stamps and welfare.

[Lahonda]

Kimmel!!! All i could think of was "a teabag moment".

[rock2casbah]

Craig Nelson and Fox what a great marriage of stupidity. He made the "welfare a d food stamps" statement with such commitment too.

[CALAVA]

That comment will haunt Craig T. Nelson the rest of his life. lol

[thefooligan5]

i doubt he understands that it was an oxymoron yet.

[pipetoe]

Do you have any other words in you vocabulary but calling people stupid....People on here love the vague name calling.....

[mathme]

It's fairly self-evident that his statement is about as stupid as they come, though. He actually uses his life to construct an analogy that makes an argument that is exactly contrary to his intended point. Okay, we all do things like that from time to time, but he is oblivious to the contradiction after he says it.

I don't know where the quote came from, but I heard it sampled in a song once: "He's stupid, but he knows that he is stupid, and that almost makes him smart." But CTN doesn't know it. Look, I really like the guy as an actor and it sucks to see something like this, but you can't really successfully deny how vacuous and self-defeating this quote is.

[alainv]

In "you" vocabulary? Ok , I won't say it.
