Late Night Roundup: ‘There’s No Place Like Homophobia’

Late Night Roundup: ‘There’s No Place Like Homophobia’

The Daily Show reviewed the last-ditch efforts in Kansas and Alabama to stop the tide of gay equality — with Jon Stewart suggesting the creation of a new word to be named in honor of Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R).

Jimmy Kimmel hosted actor Randall Park, discussing what it was like to play Kim Jong-Un in The Interview.

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick appeared with David Letterman, to whom Belichick deadpanned perfectly through questions about the “Deflate-Gate” scandal from a few weeks ago.

With the Fifty Shades of Grey movie coming out, Seth Meyers gave an exclusive preview of the new fourth book in the series, Fifty Shades Married, taking place 15 years later…

And finally, Larry Wilmore took a serious question from his own staff members.

Late Night Roundup: From Deflated Fooballs To Deflated Truth

Late Night Roundup: From Deflated Fooballs To Deflated Truth

With the Super Bowl coming up, the late night shows had a last look at the big story surrounding the big game: The under-inflated footballs scandal from the New England Patriots.

Jon Stewart highlighted the way this story has been the subject of so much dramatic news coverage — compared to everything else that’s wrong with the NFL.

The Nightly Show got a last bit of fun at the “ball” jokes involved here — and then examined the wider culture of lying and cheating in sports. Indeed, Larry Wilmore realized that “Keep It 100” instead becomes “Keep It 70” here.

Jimmy Kimmel featured an all-star cast of Bostonians, all ready to take the heat for Tom Brady.

Conan O’Brien realized that with the big measles outbreak, this weekend’s Super Bowl winners might not be going to Disneyland.

Late Night Round-Up: Deflated News

The ongoing sports scandal involving “deflated balls” was obviously prime material for the late night comedians.

Conan O’Brien had plenty of fun with it in his monologue.

Conan also looked at all the other ways that the New England Patriots have cheated over the years.

Jimmy Kimmel had a discussion on “Deflate-Gate,” trading puns with Boston native Edward Norton.

But then Kimmel also had legendary sportscaster Al Michaels as a guest, with Michaels himself saying that there are more important events in the world to talk about.

And on a more serious note, The Daily Show did look at an important story: Bringing on South African comedian Trevor Noah to discuss how the media has largely overlooked the atrocities still being committed by the terrorist militia Boko Haram — and moreover, the way that Americans don’t seem to know very much about foreign events at all.
