Late Night Highlights: Mel Gibson's Inner Cowboy and Porn Plots In Politics

The president's State of the Union address coverage may have eaten up The Jay Leno Show last night, but there was plenty of other soothing late night viewing to be had. The most impressive was a parody trailer that Mel Gibson premiered on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which impressively showcased binge eating, illiteracy and Snuggie rage. That moment, as well as the others you may have missed while super-gluing that broken Sundance sculpture back together, after the jump.

1. Mel Gibson As Fat, Illiterate Jimmy Kimmel

If you recall, when Mel Gibson visited Jimmy Kimmel Live last year he starred in a dramatized Kentucky Fried Chicken sketch. Last night, the Edge of Darkness star continued in the tradition by bringing with him along another "KimMEL" masterpiece, this time, one that impressively combined binge eating, Snuggies, and illiteracy.
