Recall a boon to late night TV


iconThe San Francisco Chronicle catalogs how the California recall has been a favorite for late night TV fodder. Here are some select jokes:

I'll tell you where this recall is really causing problems -- over at "Hollywood Squares." There are so many B- and C-level celebrities running for governor, they had to shut down production. -- Jay Leno

Today the secretary of state said that of the 247 candidates, so far 115 of them have been certified. How embarrassing is that? Imagine if you were turned down because you didn't meet the high standards set by Larry Flynt and Gallagher. -- Jay Leno

It's been reported that some of Arnold Schwarzenegger's opponents have been circulating naked pictures of Arnold on the Internet. In a related story, Arnold is leading the other candidates by four inches. -- Conan O'Brien

It looks like it's going to be Arnold Schwarzenegger or Gray Davis. You got a robot from the future or a robot with no future. -- Jay Leno

Yesterday Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he would run for governor of California. The announcement was good news for Florida residents, who now live in the second-flakiest state in the country. -- Conan O'Brien

President Bush has been silent on Schwarzenegger. Of course, he can't pronounce "Schwarzenegger." -- David Letterman

Apparently Arnold was inspired by President Bush, who proved you can be a successful politician in this country even if English is your second language. -- Conan O'Brien

An NBC News poll has found that if the election were held today, 31 percent of California voters would vote for Arnold Schwarzenegger and 26 percent were not sure. Today Gray Davis announced he is changing his name to "Not Sure." -- Jay Leno

Under California election law, virtually anybody can run for governor, except, of course, smokers. -- Dave Barry

Arnold Schwarzenegger has hired billionaire Warren Buffett as his senior economic adviser. Not to be outdone, Gary Coleman announced his senior economic adviser will be Thurston Howell III. -- Conan O'Brien

Here in California, one candidate for governor is a 100-year-old woman. She's going door-to-door and asking one simple question: "Do I live here?" -- Craig Kilborn

Larry Flynt, the founder of Hustler, he's running for governor. You know what his campaign slogan is? "A smut peddler who cares." Today Bill Clinton said, "Hey, that was my slogan." -- Jay Leno

I love all these politicians. They all say the same thing -- "We'll give California back to the people." Yeah, great, now that it's not worth anything, they want to give it back to us. -- Jay Leno

There was also talk of bringing Al Gore to California to help out, but there was concern that Gray Davis and Al Gore in the same state would cause some kind of rolling personality blackout. -- Jay Leno
