Craig Ferguson: "Here's what caught my eye today: A Tennessee minister was arrested for being drunk, high, and for wearing a skirt. Why is that illegal? Where I am from, if you see a guy drunk, stoned out of his mind, and wearing a skirt, you say, 'Good morning, Grandpa!'”

Also, "Gary Coleman was caught in a car having an argument with a woman about their relationship. He wanted to continue it, but didn't have the $300." On the 237 reasons to have sex: "Women always told me the 237 reasons not to have sex." And, "For her birthday Prince Charles gave Camilla a pair of sheep. I think he's hoping for a 3-way."

"I don't mind dogs humping my leg. It's the disinterested look on their faces that gets me."

Jay Leno: "If you haven’t seen The Bourne Ultimatum, it’s about a guy who works for the government but can’t remember his past. The original title was The Alberto Gonzales Story.” "Today Chinese officials recalled 1 million tons of lead because it may contain toys."

But the good news? One hundred percent of the men aren’t listening anyway."

Conan O'Brien: "The New York Times reduced the size of their paper. They reduced the width by an inch and a half. The news was announced with the headline, 'Big News at New York Tim.'”

Craig Ferguson: "Great day for America, especially if you like Hooters. Hooters has announced they’re building a restaurant in the Middle East. There’ll be a few different menu items: get your ja-hot wings . . . infa-deli sandwich . . . Taliban-anna cream pie . . ." "Four hundred people in Florida were stung by jellyfish over the weekend. Did you know that jellyfish have no brains? None. They're like the Baldwins of the sea."

Tuesday Night, August 7

"Drop and Give Me $20" was the Daily Show title for the story of the Republican Florida State Legislator who offered an undercover cop $20 to let him give him a blowjob. He said it was because he was afraid of the black men in the restroom. Jon Stewart: "So he thinks they won't hit him if he has a c**k in his mouth?" John Oliver provided better excuses: "I have tonsillitis and thought that man's penis was a flashlight. I'm bulimic but don't like to put my finger down my throat. I have a terrible lip condition that can only be cured by contact with another man's penis. I had a headache and thought I saw an Advil on another man's penis."

Conan O'Brien: "Last night President Bush did not call Barry Bonds after he broke Hank Aaron’s homerun record, but today, Bush decided to make the call. Bush said, 'I realized I had a rare opportunity to talk to the only guy in the country who is less popular than I am.'” "A couple in Arkansas had their 17th child. Afterwards, the other 16 kids threw their dad a 'We get it — you’re not gay' party."

Craig Ferguson: "It’s a great day for Barry Bonds. He finally broke the homerun record. He celebrated last night with an expensive bottle of champagne which he injected into his ass."
"Not such a great day for Donald Trump. His casinos are losing money. How does a casino lose money? It goes against the laws of physics. Then again, so does that thing on his head."

Jimmy Kimmel: (after Barry Bonds broke the home run record: "If you live in San Francisco there's never been a better time to buy a used kayak." " Floods in New Jersey . . . they think there may have been a tornado in New York . . . it’s like Christmas for Al Gore." "It was a very big night for the very bigheaded Barry Bonds. He has the all-time record for career homeruns. There was big skirmish in the bleachers for the ball. Collectors say it’s worth somewhere between $300,000 and $500,000, which is actually a lot less than some other baseballs. Some baseballs have actually fetched millions of dollars so I guess taking steroids really does shrink the value of your balls."

Thursday Night, August 9

Jay Leno: "A Catholic priest has been arrested for jogging naked around a high school track. Luckily the altar boy got away." Jay mentioned that Wednesday was International Orgasm Day, and guest David Duchovny said Tuesday was International Premature Ejaculation Day.

"Today is a very special day in the world of show business. It’s the Material Girl’s birthday. She turns 49 today. That’s right — Elton John, 49 today. No, it's Madonna. Madonna gives millions to charity, done lots of benefits, gives a lot of money away .. . Her greatest gift, of course, to mankind — she’s promised never to do another movie. Madonna is 49, but the cones in her bra are as perky as ever. Who else started out at the same time? Whitney Houston? Beethoven? Whitney did crack, Madonna showed hers. Remember her Sex book? It was a pop-up, at least for me."
