Late Night Round-Up: Presidents, Golf, Knighthoods, And Free Speech

Late Night Round-Up: Presidents, Golf, Knighthoods, And Free Speech

Former President Bill Clinton appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers, and gave an answer to an important question: Why do presidents like to play so much golf?

Seth Meyers also applauded the publication of the new issue of Charlie Hebdo — while criticizing the French government’s arrest of the controversial anti-Semitic comedian Dieudonné M’bala M’bala, for a comment he made about the terrorist attack against the satirical newspaper, as itself an infringement upon the greater principle of free speech.

And on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart also criticized the French arrest of Dieudonné in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attack — however contemptible his statements — saying that it was in contradiction of the country’s massive rally for free expression from just this past weekend.

Sir Patrick Stewart appeared with Conan O’Brien, and talked about what it was like to be knighted — and how he almost didn’t notice that particular envelope in his mail.

Late Night Round-Up: Florida!

Late Night Round-Up: Florida!

The Daily Show had a special Florida-themed episode, comparing the supposed apocalypse of legalized gay marriage in the Sunshine State against all the crazy stuff that happens there on a daily basis. And then, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) came on for an interview about his ideas to improve life for the working class — though he also explained the issues by way of a joke at the expense of fast-food employees.

Conan O’Brien took a look at the latest controversy from another potential Republican presidential contender: “Republican Mike Huckabee criticized the Obamas for letting their daughters listen to Beyoncé, due to her explicit lyrics. Yeah. So now the Obama girls are faced with the tough choice every teen must eventually make: Listen to Beyoncé — or Mike Huckabee.”

Jimmy Fallon went over the pros and cons of having one of those new self-driving cars that are being developed. “Pro: It allows you to eat, talk on the phone, or even apply makeup while driving. Con: So basically what you’re already doing.”

Jimmy Kimmel Live had a sketch called “The Most Annoying People on the Plane” — with surprise guest star, Sir Patrick Stewart!

And coming back to where we started, Late Night with Seth Meyers brought some audience members up for a special game show on crazy news stories: “Fake or Florida.” And one of the contestants was even from Florida.
