17 October 2008

A roast, two talk shows and the new ‘Saturday Night Live: Weekend Update’ made Thursday a big night of comedy for the presidential race.

John McCain and Barack Obama traded jokes instead of barbs at a charity event to benefit needy children. McCain said he’d replaced his advisers with Joe the Plumber, and Obama named “humility” as his greatest strength. Rate their jokes below, get the full story from CNN and see Political Machine blogger Mo Rocca’s firsthand account of the event.
McCain finally graced the ‘Late Show’ with David Letterman, facing a barrage of tough questions after his earlier cancellation. “I haven’t had so much fun since my last interrogation,” the GOP candidate said.
The new Thursday night ‘Saturday Night Live: Weekend Update’ lampooned this week’s final presidential debate and its big star, Joe the Plumber.
As for the vice presidential nominees, Democrat Joe Biden stopped by the ‘Tonight Show.’ And GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin won’t be left out of the fun. She’s slated to appear on Saturday’s version of ‘Saturday Night Live.’ Will she do herself better than Tina Fey did?
