All the networks are bummed about having to carry his boring ad-free economy lectures during prime time, but goodness gracious Barack Obama is the KING of after-hours interview show programming. His interview with Jay Leno last night got the dumb show its highest rating since Seinfeld’s final episode 11 years ago. President Obama must quit his day job immediately. [ArtsBeat Blog]

i can’t take my eyes off of our prez. should i be having these feelings? i can see how he would boost ratings.
I haz dirty feelings for my prezz
He should do all interviews, shirtless.
That would stimulate the economy.
I was expecting Barry to interrupt his remorseless bashing of the Special Olympics to hold up a BIC lighter and declare that it had never failed him yet.
I would like to say something like “how dare you compare our Hopey to fucking Seinfeld” and also something else derogatory about Seinfeld. But numbers is numbers and our president has ‘em.
I must’ve been drunk — I don’t even remember Leno being in Seinfeld’s final episode. Wait — he was the Pakistani guy with the restaurant, right?
Animal Mother: Well, you seen much combat?
Private Joker: I’ve seen a little on Tee Vee.
Screw the networks, like they’re having to cancel anything worthwhile! HA! Half of all network programming is now informercials anyway.
Bush went on TV like 2 times a year and look at all the secret, behind-the-scenes fuckups that happened. Not to mention that the more Obama is on TV, the higher the chances are of him saying something hilarious about retards.
Hopefully Obama will co-star in the next Rob Schneider movie.
Obama could also have a career in Las Vegas, being on stage and handing the funny props to Carrot Top.
So did Barry go on Bob and Tom?
[re=270332]SayItWithWookies[/re]: No. No. He was the soup Nazi character.
I think it was the one where if you VHS freeze frame just right you can see Elane’s breast.
I guess we can expect Obama to be the next big thing in sweeps week stunt casting. “Heroes” could bring him in to fight Sylar and “the Office” could have him come in and steal Pam away from Jim. Or maybe he’ll be Liz Lemon’s Boyfriend of the Week or the one who introduces the mother in “How I Met Your Mother”?
i would like to see barry as a special guest judge on rupaul’s drag race and tell those queens its time to lip sync for their lives.
What a lame excuse to show Obama shirtless. More lame excuses!
[re=270349]sevenrepeat[/re]: Hahahahahaha! WIN.
why doesn’t that photo get used more often?
Yeah. I’d fuck him again.
I’d hit that.
It’s only because the musical guest was The Decemberists.
[re=270347]Hooray For Anything[/re]: We Battlestar Galactica fans will probably learn in tonight’s series finale that Barry is really the Final Cylon and has been pulling all the strings since Day One.
…are those the “TITS” that AIG has been sucking on?
[re=270377]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: OMG, win.
[re=270349]sevenrepeat[/re]: Holy shit that was fucking hilarious.
If we still had gold stars I would start a petition that you receive them all. My god. Comment of the week.
…I’m sorry, what did you say?
[re=270390]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: *blush* i aim to please
I’d like the Leno bit more if the O Man seemed to have a clue that Geithner & Co. are trying to prop up a system that needs bull-dozing. I’m all for the new regime, but it doesn’t seem like anybody is driving the bus at the moment.
[re=270377]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: Actually, the musical guest was Garth Brooks so that would act as a negative qualifier in the ratings. If the Decemberists would have been booked, I’m sure the ratings would have achieved Super Bowl/MASH finale numbers.
That’s my Trigga.
Where can I find RuPaul’s drag race? Is this one of those special-price channels hobos can’t afford? All I can find is Flavor Flav’s endless search for a hottie to eat KFC with. Hopey should go on that show and make Flav the Secretary of Get a Life.
“Obama Stimulates Late Night TV Market!
Thank Dog! Maybe now when I’m smoking that 2am blunt I won’t have to endure informercials for colon cleanse and shamwows.
Although they’re both funnier than Leno. And they don’t eve TRY… you can tell.
…Gov. Mark Sanford has officially turned down the stimulus money? This is going to be the most AWESOME FAILS in the history of fails!!!
[re=270414]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: I await the death match between whitey Sanford & Jim ‘mean dog’ Clyburn. But, WTF is Sanford thinking? Doesn’t SC lead the nation in unemployment? If these stupid Republicans think that the fact that they hate abortions makes up for the fact that their constituents are eating fried cow shit to survive, more power to them!
[re=270417]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Mmm….fried cow shit….
I also notice snowbilly grifter is refusing 1/3 of the stimulus (the part that would go to educating special needs kids). What a bitch.
@Texan Bulldogette: and in the same breath as that announcement, she scolded barry for hating on the special olympics. obviously it’s only okay to hate on the special olympics if you do it by cutting funding, like she has for years; cracking jokes would just be rude and she’d never do that.
[re=270417]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: …I hate playing “zero sum” games, but I really hope the senate of S.C. defers to him and allows him to turn the money down. Because if they do you are going to see S.Carolina competing with Darfur for U.N. aid!
[re=270424]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: She could probably get away with doing that because Alaska basically subsists on oil company largesse. Plus, they usually send all the kids with special needs into the wilderness to get eaten by wolves.
[re=270431]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: That wouldn’t happen because I’m sure Sanford would think UN aid is even worse than Federal Government aid because it comes from one of those One World type organizations and supports family planning.
[re=270435]Hooray For Anything[/re]: “to get eaten by wolves.” You mean the wolves that don’t get aerially shot.
the hobo version of gawker’s fnff:

bring your pasting skillz.
Speaking of retards (Palin), I assume this will the 400+ comment post for the weekend. We’ve cycled through PUMAs, Nadertards, Rightards, and Paultards. I’ll volunteer to pose as a LaRouchtard to complete the Circle of Tard, if need be.
I can haz that picture as poster pleeze?!?
[re=270446]El Pinche[/re]: Don’t! Never go full ‘Tard!!!!
[re=270401]Jukesgrrl[/re]: it’s on a special queer station called logo but i think vh1 is airing the show now. check your local listings and ignore those goddamn amber alerts.
[re=270471]mylesfromnowhere[/re]: …fukk me! I was sooooooooo, holding back on that damn it!
Dresses to the left, just like me!
No wonder Michelle Obama looks so happy all the time. And no wonder Joe the Plumber is so resentful.
[re=270471]mylesfromnowhere[/re]: I went there twice and erased it twice. Thank you.I think Barry will just invite a bunch of cripples and retards to the White House for bowling lessons and let them pet the new puppy.Me I’d rather go swimming any time he wants.
[re=270471]mylesfromnowhere[/re]: Speaking of… I went to the Creationism Evidence Museum in Glen Rose, TX yesterday. The owners questioned my motives because I was taking pictures and I look like a hippie commie socialist libtard. The Leatherface family essentially kicked me off their property (in a courteous Texan way, of course).
They should have thanked me since I was their 3rd customer for the week. It’s right next to Fossil Rim State Park (animal conservatory) and Dinosaur Land ($20 to see paper mache dinosaur “replicas”!!) .
@SKS: Whoa, I had no idea about the lengths of your moolighting skullduggery!
Why don’t these get the Ken/AOL Political Machine treatment? Maybe s’cuz you don’t bait the audience enough??

The episode of Seinfeld was the best Tonight Show episode.
[re=270446]El Pinche[/re]: Focus on the Leno-tards. They seem to be making quite a fuss.
Reason No. 1 to not go on Leno as President: four second gaffe becomes center of media-coverage on said Leno.
Our nation is full of fucking idiots who have as equal a right to praise or criticize the President, AIG, or even Jon fucking Stewart as much as anyone else. It’s time for a media Patriot Act. The fuckers seem to forget that they humped the hell out of anti-terrorism rhetoric for more than the allotted five minutes allowed. For that, they may eat many dicks. I hope some of you fuckers stop listening to the editor (who is probably drunk and eating a prostitutes crap right now) and start doing something useful.
Wouldn’t it be GLORIOUS? Or something.
[re=270332]SayItWithWookies[/re]:
I preferred the Leno show after the last ep of “Cheers”!
All of the “Cheers” cast was drunk that night!
[re=270540]Unindicted Co-Conspirator[/re]: Very true. Except the only notable non-drinker was a very sheepish looking, on tv wagon Kelsey Grammar.
PUT A SHIRT ON YOU DAMN HIPPIE COMMUNITS RACIST INTOLERANT SCHVOOGIE MUSLIN FREEEEAAAAKKKK!!
I suggest that the President do his Tuesday night presser shirtless not just for the pleasure of the viewing public but for the fun which will ensue when the Secret Service has to taze half the WH press corp. Except for Chip Reid.
[re=270446]El Pinche[/re]: The circle of tard is infinite.
The “Special Olympics” gaffe was instantly eclipsed by the weapons-grade lulz generated by the tsunami of poutrage emitted by the very same crowd that were redubbing their “Faces Of Death” videos for the 11th time while eagerly scouring eBay for “Gitmo Torture Vids on DVD” this time last year – oh, those wacky wingnuts!
For all the good it’ll do, Obama can go on REAL TIME in nothing but pasties & a penis-gourd & sink some more three-pointers: “Hope” is one thing in short supply when it comes to the MSM … I think the late-night market is beyond stimulus. The only thing you’ll get from applying heart-paddles to a corpse is sore thumbs & stale Long Pork Brisket.
All hot and sincere people on === AgelessMate.com === , including sensual cougars, milfs, sexy chicks, handsome young men and humorous old folks, are all supporting Obama!! hate wars!! love world peace!!! it’s a place go beyond simple mingle and dating. they show love through every detailed things!!
[re=270675]aleen[/re]: Please quit putting on errors.
[re=270401]Jukesgrrl[/re]: Try the ‘Logo’ channel – all gay, all day, so I hear…
[re=270479]PsycGirl[/re]: It looks like Hopey’s got the ‘Presidential Staff’ swinging, if you know what I mean…
To counter the insane popularity of this Barrycentristic Stallion/Cosmo photo, Republican Senator Jim Bunning is now circulating a picture of himself in a rubber wetsuit, handcuffs and a ball gag.
[re=270394]sevenrepeat[/re]: It’d be awesome if Barry eventually dismisses Geithner by saying, “It’s time for you to sashay, away.”
By the way, here’s where you can watch episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race: http://www.logoonline.com/shows/dyn/rupauls_drag_race/videos.jhtml
