and apologies, in truth it's the opposite of blinking, in fact her eyes nearly pop out of her head as if her brain is exploding as she hears herself add the word 'necessarily'

palin was talking about it on the today show, maybe they hope this will inspire conservatives to stick with the tonight show even if the linda tripp jokes leave with leno

what a disaster for msnbc to cover

the main joke was pretty unfunny, but i found his 7 minute "apology" some of the best stuff I've seen him do in a long time. I loved his self-deprecating "we'll do anything for a laugh" shtick throughout the thing, as well as his poker face as the crowd roared at every one of the lame jokes when he repeated them. they really were way funnier in the context of the apology than they were the first time he told them.
imo guys like Dave and Conan are at their best when they give the impression that they are like mischievous barely-relevant trolls of the entertainment industry.

agree 100%, Morbius. I stayed up late to watch Dave whenever I could as a kid in the 80s. great clip btw - thx!

Dave was at his best on Late Night, maybe the last time anyone did something interesting with the standard talk show format.
