U.S.: Which of these upcoming Obama appearances is most important?

  • Making Joe look good First stop for the president will be in upstate New York, where he’s going to make a speech at the community college where Joe Biden’s lovely wife, Jill, just happens to work. Don’t get Joe in the doghouse, man. He’s counting on you not to screw this up.
  • Look good for Letterman Later today, the president will show up on David Letterman’s couch, becoming the first sitting president to do so. Letterman has more clout than you’d think; McCain hurt his campaign dearly when he skipped out on a Letterman appearance. So he best not screw this up.
  • Looking good at the U.N.Then on Wednesday, the president will speak in front of the United Nations assembly and make an appearance at the G-20 summit, which is being held in Pittsburgh for some reason. Obama’s got a busy week ahead of him; he best not screw this up. source

Culture: Conan’s making peace with that whole Jay-at-10 thing

  • I took some time before I went to my producer and said: ‘In this scenario I’m still hosting that show that Johnny Carson had that I watched with my father in my living room, right?’ And he said, ‘Yes, you are.’ And I said, ‘Then I’m good.’
