Pay careful attention to the last ten seconds of this video. If you look at the dimmed, lower portion of the image, you’ll notice a small, silent joke bomb placed by Team Jay Leno to insult Conan O’Brien. The subject matter? Terrorism. The vehicle? Facebook. The result? That remains to be seen.
While doing a bit about would-be Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad, the Tonight Show host presented a Facebook page purportedly owned by Shahzad. On it, you can see that Faisal belongs to a few groups: Al Qaeda, the Pakistan Frequent Flyers Club and Team Coco, the moniker used by Conan O’Brien supporters.

If you caught the opening of The Simpsons on Sunday night, you saw the network show throw a little love toward their animated cable channel brethren - courtesy of Bart Simpson’s running opening gag.
On the ever-changing school chalkboard, Bart delivered a clear message to the South Park creators, who received death threats last week following a controversial episode of the series.

The ongoing war between Bernie Goldberg, FOX News contributor and frequent guest on O’Reilly Factor, and Jon Stewart, late-night Comedy Central variety show host, just got hilarious…though there’s probably zero chance that FOX News will find it so. It all started, according to Stewart, when he told FOX News to “go [expletive deleted] themselves” on his April 19 installment of The Daily Show.
Goldberg fired back during one of his visits to O’Reilly (Papa Bear to Stephen Colbert fans), calling Jon Stewart a “funnyman” who only wants to crack jokes before an audience. “But if, clearly, you want to be a social commentator…you better find some guts,” Goldberg addressed his comments directly to Stewart.
On his April 20 show, Stewart had plenty to say in response to Bernie Goldberg - and by extension, everyone at FOX News.

Jon Heder/Will Ferrell Project Won’t Happen
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Cable, Saturday Night Live, Gossip, Video,
The Blades of Glory duo won’t be making us laugh on Comedy Central after all.
Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite, School for Scoundrels) has dropped out of a planned sitcom on the cable network which is being produced by Will Ferrell (just about every other funny movie made since 2002).
Very little info is being offered on the split, only this very ambiguous statement: “Comedy Central, Gary Sanchez Productions and Jon Heder have mutually decided to part ways over creative differences with the character. Jon wishes the show nothing but success, and is very grateful for the opportunity.”

Nick Cannon Wants to Star in Comedy with Mariah Carey
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Comedy, Celebrity Gossip,
Nick Cannon would like to work on the big screen with Mariah Carey.
The rapper/presenter says he would like to see his spouse get a chance to show off her humorous side. “I’d love to do a film with Mariah. But it would have to be a comedy. She’s the funniest woman in the world, she just cracks me up all the time,” Cannon claimed.
Mariah, who most recently starred as a dowdy social worker in Precious, said she believes the dramatic role has made her a better person.
“It was definitely a commitment to be seen looking that bad. I love Lee Daniels, the director, but he’s a sick man. He wanted to torture me,” she said. “But you know, it freed me in a lot of ways. I don’t worry about certain things in the same way any more.”
