The laughs we missed: If only Jay Leno and "SNL" had been there for Nixon, Hoover, and Lincoln
The biggest yuks came when Carson leaned over and said, "With all due respect, Mr. President, what's really on that tape that your secretary accidentally erased?"
Replied Nixon: "I can finally tell the nation that....", and he continued to move his lips for about 45 seconds without uttering a sound, as the audience roared its approval.
Asked by Carson why he agreed to go on the late-night comedy show, Nixon replied: "Because you are completely nuts -- and we ought to know, because we just burglarized your psychiatrist's office!"
Bada bing!
But seriously, folks, I'm wondering how Americans ever elected a president before "SNL" arrived to put it all in the proper perspective for us.
Yeah, I wonder. Note: Under the terms of The Pundit Full Employment Act, the 2012 election coverage will start on November 5th.
