The Definitive Guide to Comedy
Bill Cosby is enough of a living legend to receive first-guest status from David Letterman and also perform his stand-up before hitting the panel. During his stand-up, watch as it’s interesting how Letterman’s audience is more onboard with the idea of fried turkeys than he is. During his panel, Cosby …
Dave Attell has made the late-night TV rounds before, both as a host and as a stand-up comedian. But I cannot recall him ever doing panel with Jay Leno before, and certainly not with his ever-growing hairdo flowing out from underneath his ball cap — and most especially not whilst …
Conan O’Brien and his late-night crew triumphantly returned to New York City this week, and Reggie Watts — who toured with Conan during his TV break way back when it wasn’t so long ago — welcomed him back to the city by performing that by-gone ditty, “The Boys are Back …

Eddie Murphy makes a rare late-night TV appearance tonight on Late Show with David Letterman. Sure, Murphy is promoting a new movie, Tower Heist. But you know what else Murphy is up to? Hosting the Academy Awards in a few months! You know who else has hosted the Oscars? Letterman! …
Matt Braunger may have dressed like Mister Rogers last night on Conan, but he certainly doesn’t act like him. Or, should I say, their acts aren’t all that similar. I don’t remember Mister Rogers talking about hitting on girls, hangovers in your 30s, and lonely man dinners. Well, I suppose …
