years!-Jay Leno
Politics
The athletes at the Olympics will be receiving free condoms, lip balm and
hand warmers. That's also what Clinton used to give his interns when they
got to Washington.-David Letterman
President Bush lifts weights. He likes to stay in shape. He can bench 180
pounds -- or, as Clinton calls it, "half an intern"! -David
Letterman
Enron Scandal
Are you following this Enron story? Me, I don't know, I just can't get

Letterman
This Enron thing is getting deeper. I just hope this doesn't turn kids off
to the wonderful world of accounting.-Jay Leno

there's been problems with the field. Players are stealing bases and then
they deny it.-Jay Leno

York. The show is judged completely on looks and not on talent -- kind of
like the real Spice Girls!-Jay Leno
Charlton Heston recently said that celebrities that have bodyguards are
cowards and should just carry a gun like he does. In response, celebrities
have said that they have bodyguards because Heston carries a gun.-Conan
O'Brien
There's a story out now that says that Britney Spears lip-synchs so much
that she hardly ever turns on her mike. That's no big deal, because most
men watch her with the volume turned down.-Conan O'Brien
The Oscar nominees were announced today. Winona Ryder will take one home.
She wasn't nominated, but she'll take one home.-David Letterman

It was another cold day here in L.A. It was so cold that I saw a guy wearing
a ski mask at a 7-Eleven without a gun!-Jay Leno
It's cold here! Winter has come to New York. It is so cold outside that no

door!-David Letterman

So we got the fashion show and the dog show going on. I tell you, the city
is full of bitches!-David Letterman
Congress says that half of Americans use the Internet. The other half has
sex with real partners.-Jay Leno
The murder rate in the city is down 41 percent! In January there were only
33 murders citywide. That just makes you swell up with pride!-David

The murder rate is down because it's all a part of the city's new
get-tough-on-crime policy -- if you commit a murder, you go to
jail.-David Letterman
The government ran several anti-drug commercials (at the Super Bowl). They
ran right between the seventh and eighth Budweiser commercials.-David

Sprint is now offering a service that is "talking e-mail." What is this?
Didn't that used to be called a phone call?-Jay Leno

the coin toss. I'm not making this up. They changed their minds, thinking
-- Hey, we can't trust this guy with a coiin!-Jay Leno
On Wednesday the NFL Experience theme park opened down in New Orleans. It's
really something, you get to feel what it's like to be a pro. They give you
a football, then some cocaine and take your mugshot. So you get the whole
experience!-Jay Leno
The Olympics are coming up! They have built a monorail system that can
transport over 100,000 people per day -- and that's just Osmonds! -Jay
Leno
There's a lot of complaints about too much sex in the games, mainly in the

bar.-David Letterman

Silence of the Rams!" -Jay Leno
This Super Bowl had one thing that most Super Bowls don't -- a fourth
quarter.-Jay Leno
Security was tight at the game. It took the Rams two hours to get to the end
zone it was so bad.-Jay Leno
Mike Tyson is trying to get a boxing license here in California. Do you
think he'll get it? I think so. We gave a driver's license to Rodney King,
a gun license to Robert Blake and a marriage license to O.J. -- I think we
can give Tyson a boxing license.-Jay Leno
His dad, the former president, George Bush, to start with did the coin flip
(at the Super Bowl) -- much the same way his son's election was
decided.-David Letterman

congratulate the winning team. President Bush is such a classy guy, he even
called the Rams and gave them advice on what to do after choking.-Jay
Leno

that at halftime a guy came over to my house and patted me down while I was
watching the game on TV!-Jay Leno

a parade the other day and the Red Sox showed up to see what it's

including India. There was one person on the Indian team, one person, and
India has a billion people! Think of the pressure that guy must be
under!-Jay Leno
Mexico brought four competitors to the games (the Olympics). Good luck
getting them to go home after the games.-Jay Leno

30 million people watched the games -- the only ones not watching the
Olympics are the judges.-David Letterman
God bless the Canadians, though! They are nice people. Today they said they
are honored just to get screwed at the Olympics.-Jay Leno

and it was a rejection for a gold card.-Jay Leno
I'm just glad Tonya Harding got out of skating before it got ugly.-Jay
Leno
