Monday's Late Night Round-Up: Jenna Bush's New Gig, Cheney's Addiction, And More! (VIDEO)

Good morning, dear readers, and welcome to Monday's Late Night Round-Up. It's getting close to lunchtime, and no one looks forward to lunch more than someone sitting in an office (if for some reason you're reading this and not in an office, well, lucky you, don't rub it in). Now, to the menu!

For your first course, we're offering Fallon's discovery of the greatest pot in the world (how appropriate!) and Letterman poking fun at the ladies of "The View." Also available, if you're in the mood for a more savory starter, is Cheney's revealing line about being a "junkie," and Sylvester "Grandpa" Stallone starring in a new Rambo movie. We recommend ordering them all and sharing the laughter.

For your main course, we're pleased to present a pile-on of Jenna Bush and NBC's announcement that she has been hired as a "Today Show" correspondent. Really, pretty much everyone got in on the action.

For dessert, we leave you with an example of one of our favorite things about standup comedy: the joke that goes wrong and becomes funnier in the process. Conan is particularly good at this, and he's become even better now that Andy Richter has returned to riff of his mix-ups. Watching Conan mangle his way through a joke about a Cheech & Chong musical just leaves us giggly and warm inside, like the final glass of wine at dinner (but this is lunch, and we're not Mad Men, so behave).

Sorry, I'm still laughing.

[SnickatNite]

How much is cash is NBC paying Graham to pretend Conan and Jimmy Fallon are funny? Forester is right. Ferguson is consistently funny. Fallon delivers his lines like a nervous schoolgirl and is painful to watch.

[ricmarc]

lol craig on jenna!

[Lahonda]

Conan's "Ahnold" is so ridiculous and funny.

[FINN76]

Aw, come on guys! Give little Jimmy a break! He's still relatively new to the late-night format and while at first he looked really uncomfortable during the monologue, his delivery has gotten better..... and he seems to be having fun!!

[countfloyd]

Conan looks like he has aged about 3 years since taking over the Tonight Show.

[DinSea]

... reminds me of a cartoon character .. Beavis & ?? ... almost expect to hear him say, "heh,heh"

[AmandaBC]

I don't know why, but when men hit 45, they start aging pretty quickly. Look at Obama for another example. Gray hair in less than a year... For us women it's a very gradual slope starting from the late thirties. Usually no sudden changes.

[AlphaDragon]

For those people, it could just be the job. I am not sure I would generalize how men age.

[WritusMaximus]

I too wouldn't generalize. Women have the magic of makeup, so that aging "gradual slope" in some may be artificial. Heck, botox, plastic surgery also helps.

Viva la ROUND-UP!

[napasonoma]

Watching Jimmy Fallon die every time he attempts to tell a joke is really painful. But he looks and sounds as though he is in more pain than I. Why does this guy have a TV show; makes no sense.

[twisted-european]

When even Glenn Beck is still on TV ...

[AmandaBC]

Lorne Michaels has been producing nothing but crap lately, and yet the suits at NBC still believe he's a god... I think he's actually one of the reasons why NBC is in the tank.

[jan4insight]

Raise your hand if you loathe HuffPo's new video format for the comedy round-up - it cuts the top & bottom off the vids. What's up with that???

Good to have Craig F back, though :)

[twisted-european]

... and the audio is still not normalized.

[GeorgeBright]

Must have had an intern do the editing, it's also in ultra-low def...

[twisted-european]

Colbert and Stewart are off? I miss them ...

[ThirdSection]

They got three weeks of vacation.

[twisted-european]

Thanks for telling me. Let's hope Ferguson gets his puppets on stage again. Man - three weeks ...!

[Michael Mayer]

Why do you bother with Jimmy Fallon clips? He's terrible

[GeorgeBright]

Is there a pool anywhere on when Fallon will get yanked off late night? He should be much less wooden considering his many years experience on television...

[AmandaBC]

Don't bother, just change the channel to CBS and keep it there from 12:30 to 1:30... ;)

[7ShallFall]

I liked Fallon's joke, I think Forester travels and lives in a s ucky and cra ppy place, it's called hater town.

[Forester]

I like funny comedians, and live in happy town.

[twintwine]

So, somebody has an opinion contrary to yours, and that makes them a hater?

[boilerup317]

Wow. Jimmy Fallon never should have left SNL. He sux!

[Forester]

Jimmy Fallon is a s ucky journey and a cra ppy destination

[Genius]

Forester, reply to 7ShallFall.

I think we're neighbors in Happy Town!

RE: Jimmy Fallon.

Nothing personal but, I came, I saw, and I left. Get that man some ritalin, quick. I only switch over to watch if he has a musical guest that I REALLY want to see (Michael Franti tonight).
It takes a heck of a lot to tear me away from watching the genius of Craig Ferguson! CBS really needs to offer a full episode player of their shows so that I can get some sleep at night.
