VIDEO: President Obama Visits David Letterman

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Late Night, Talk Shows, CBS, Video

Although he had already appeared on five different talk shows over the weekend, President Obama disclosed new information during his first Late Show visit as a sitting POTUS.

“First of all, I think it’s important to realize that I was actually black before the election,” the President clarified to America last night. The humorous comment - a response to the supposed presence of racism in the health care debate - was followed by shock. “Really!... How long have you been a black man?” David Letterman joked.

And while it was clear Obama had an agenda behind his appearance (he said he wanted to see the heart-shaped potato an audience member brought), the host presented his own “Top Ten Reasons President Obama Agreed To Appear On The Late Show.” You can read those after the jump.

FOX: No Room for Barack Obama on Schedule

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Specials, FOX, Gossip

Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, is scheduled to address the nation on Wednesday. But don’t worry, FOX isn’t going to go changing their programming just on his account. If you’d rather watch Tim Roth, you can still catch Lie to Me in its regular time slot.

It’s a bold move, and it might be a bad one. Obama’s Wednesday news conference will celebrate his first one hundred days as President. It’s the third press conference he’s held while in office, and it will be aired by ABC, CBS and NBC, along with several cable networks.

Busy Weekend Ahead for SNL

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live

Even though there are no more debates left to mock, Saturday Night Live has still managed to stack this weekend’s show. And surprisingly, the news is not entirely about politics.

Since Josh Brolin was announced as the October 18 host, it’s been assumed that the actor would do a small screen version of his work on W. But in a recent interview with People magazine, the No Country for Old Men star joked (?) that viewers might be seeing more than one George Bush that night.

“Expect a lot of fun and some surprising moments. There’s a good chance that W. [himself] may appear in a skit. You’ll have to watch to find out.”

And while a real-life POTUS appearance is anybody’s guess, we do know one politician who will be appearing this Saturday: Sarah Palin. Although she was reportedly scheduled for an October 25 visit, the McCain-Palin camp has confirmed the publicity stunt campaign stop will happen tomorrow.
