From Denny: In this summer heat we all can use a good laugh! Here's the latest from the late night show comics.

This Week's roundup of the Sunday funnies.

The Daily Show

Jon Stewart: The United States gave the Iraqis the key back to their own cities. Don't worry, we made a copy.

The Late Late Show

Craig Ferguson: The show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" is returning to prime time. But due to the recession, it's being renamed "Who Wants Five Bucks and a Taco?"

Late Show

David Letterman: Here is good news for Bernie Madoff: Only 149 years, 50 weeks to go.

The Colbert Report

Stephen Colbert: [Clip from CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" show] "Tonight, connecting with one of Michael Jackson's old friends and perhaps one of the oddest, Bubbles, the chimp." Colbert: Congratulations, Anderson. This is even bigger than your 2006 sit-down with Saddam Hussein's beloved pet, Khalid Sheikh Mohamster. [Screeb shows hamster dressed as Saddam Hussein.]

And the week I missed somehow... Statue of Liberty Reopens

The Tonight Show

Jay Leno: It was hot today. Wasn't it? I tell you. Oh, I was sweating like John Edwards waiting to watch his wife on "Oprah."

Late Night With Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon: The crown at the top of the Statue of Liberty will reopen on the Fourth of July for the first time since 9/11. Isn't that cool? Visitors will now be able to touch Air Force One as it flies right past them.

The Late Show

David Letterman: Here's a public service announcement now from Joe Biden. Remember that the sun's rays can cause painful sunburn and long-term skin damage. To be safe, between now and October, do not leave your home. Message from Joe Biden, "Time to Panic."

The Late Late Show

Craig Ferguson: The state of Maine today legalized gay marriage. Maine became comfortable with the idea after years of touching Canada.

This Week: Roundup of Sunday Funnies - Sanfords GOP Outreach and More!

Mark Sanford -- He's Back! (Photo credit: Mike Licht, NotionsCapital.com)

From Denny: With so much seriousness in the world these days, we all can use a good laugh. Besides, who can stay up late to watch these guys when we have to start our work week? :)

Here's a roundup of the late-night comics, enjoy. Also, was laughing over at YouTube yesterday and included this little video gem.

Update April 2013:  Since Mark Sanford is crazy enough to step back into politics after trespassing and snooping around in his now four years later ex-wife's home, we might as well give another round of the jokes that drove him out of office in the first place.  This guy is such a loser and, women, well, we have no use for such a manipulative loser.  What was this guy thinking?  Really?

Roundup of Sunday Funnies: Extremists Can Be Very Fickle

From Denny: And from our late night comedy show friends here is their latest silly banter to keep you entertained! Start your work week off right with a grin!

Late Late Show

Craig Ferguson: It's another busy day for President Obama. He's over in the Middle East. Don't worry because Joe Biden is running the country.


The Tonight Show

Conan O'Brien: North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-Il is in the process of deciding who is going to be his successor and the most likely person is his youngest son Kim Jong-Un. He's excited but realizes he's got some awfully big women's sunglasses to fill.


Late Late Show

Craig Ferguson: [Presdident Obama] took a tour of the pyramids. When he saw those massive structures that no longer serve any purpose, he offered to give them a bailout.


The Colbert Report

Stephen Colbert: If we conservatives try to stand up to this reverse racism, we're going to lose crucial Latino votes. Just as GOP leaders were beginning their outreach to Hispanics! Many have even asked their gardener what his name is!


Jimmy Kimmel Live

Jimmy Kimmel: His speech for the most part has been very well received. [Obama:] 'America is not and never will be at war with Islam.' (Tape of actors dressed as extremists in audience taking off weapons.) [Obama:] 'We will, however, relentlessly confront violent extremists who pose a grave threat to our security.' (Tape of actors dressed as extremists sighing, putting on weapons.) Extremists can be very fickle.

Cheeky Quote Day! 13 May 2009

WASHINGTON, DC - APRIL 28: U.S. President Barack Obama laughs during the 2012 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner held at the Washington Hilton on April 28, 2012 in Washington, DC. This was the 98th annual dinner and was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. (Image credit: Getty Images via @daylife)

From Denny: From the ABC network show This Week’s host, George Stephanopoulos, comes his evaluation of the best cheeky quotes from President Obama at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner that raises money for charity by roasting the politicians.

Best lines from last night's White House Correspondents' Association dinner:

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA:

-"In the next 100 days I will learn to go off the prompter, and Joe Biden will learn to stay on the prompter."

-"In the next 100 days our bipartisan outreach will be so successful that even John Boehner will consider becoming a Democrat ... After all we have a lot in common. He is a person of color... although not a color that appears in the natural world."

-"In the next 100 days we will house train our dog Bo. Because the last thing Tim Geithner needs is someone else treating him like a fire hydrant."

-"We had been rivals during the campaign. But these days we could not be closer. In fact, the second she got back from Mexico, she pulled me into a hug and gave me a big kiss. Told me I had better get down there myself."

--"Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. I do have to say, this is a tough holiday for Rahm because he is not used to saying the word 'day' after 'mother.'"


President Obama:
