Late Night Highlights: Barack Obama Laughs with (and Towers Over) Jon Stewart on The Daily Show

7 years ago

While Jon Stewart was holding court in Washington D.C. last night, one very important person stopped by for a three segment discussion. No, President Barack Obama did not loosen his tie and take a swig of scotch on-air, but he did put that "charming talk show guest" persona he developed on The View to good use. Meanwhile, Dana Carvey offered David Letterman advice on a Leno resolution, Robin Williams exhausted Jay Leno, Judd Apatow talked stoner movies and Jimmy Fallon reveled in his love for Tom Selleck.

5. Let Robin Williams Exhaust You

Watch as Jay Leno desperately tries to curb Robin Williams from launching into two-minute bits about everything from GPS suicide to methane-powered cars on last night's Tonight Show segment.

4. Judd Apatow's Policy on Writing

When the screenwriter/comedian shared The Tonight Show stage with Robin Williams and Jay Leno, he revealed why he writes movies in the first place. Is it the money? It has to be. Ah, just watch and find out.

3. Don't Mess With Tom Selleck

When Jimmy Fallon and Blue Bloods star Donnie Wahlberg talked about Tom Selleck, they both reached the same conclusion.

2. Dana Carvey: Late Night Mediator

While on The Late Show, Dana Carvey offered to settle things between David Letterman and Jay Leno once and for all. I wonder if it worked...

1. The President Visits Comedy Central

Yesterday was the historical Daily Show episode in which Jon Stewart was visited by President Barack Obama. After being presented (presidented?) with Mug Force One, the prez got down to business talking about America's progress. And problems. Lots of problems.
