me the other day and when I said no to one of her requests that was exactly what she did. No crying but arms and feet stomping for about 10 seconds. That was so well done.

so I was excited when his show debuted, but I never felt the connection to him that I did Dave. So, I stopped watching and never really went back. But, this was a great bit to be sure, so kudos to him and his staff.

she out-did herself last night. I'm sure the show's writers had a hand in it, too. I haven't laughed that hard over a "Late Show" skit in ages.

She was excellent. I don't watch his show but I've always like him. So glad I took the time to watch this clip since we need all the laughter (and joy) we can get these days.

As an aside, ever notice how Democrats have the best sense of humor while Republicans have no sense of humor unless they're idea of humor is in denigrating others.
