Laugh Track....Canadian Bacon

Actor Daniel Radcliffe appeared on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last night and talked about being in Toronto and having trouble getting a visa to enter the U.S. Radcliffe said he eventually "drove to Buffalo and we got through the border at Buffalo. It was all official. We didn't sneak in." Radcliffe said, "All I know about Buffalo is the Bills are there. That's all I know about American football. So the only conversation I could come up with to this lovely woman who was helping us was, 'So the Bills might be going to Toronto, I hear,' and she just gave this incredibly serious, sad reaction to my small talk. She said, 'Yeah, I really don’t know what this town would do if they ever leave.'" Host Jimmy Kimmel added, "If the Bills go to Toronto, we're going to war with Canada" ("Jimmy Kimmel Live," ABC, 7/29).

NBC’s Jimmy Fallon: “A man in Maryland claims that he found one of President Obama’s custom golf balls in the woods near the golf course where the president played over the weekend. Obama said he's been looking for his balls for a while and then Democrats said, ‘Yeah, we know’” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 7/29).

CBS’ David Letterman: “There's a dating site called ‘OkCupid’ and it's especially for folks who are looking for someone who is just okay. It turns out the people who run ‘OkCupid’ don't really match anybody up. They're shuffling cards. They don't care. … That's how Donald Sterling found a girlfriend with a tape recorder. … Now a judge has ruled, they said the official wording in the ruling was, ‘He's a little loopy.’ If you're a little loopy that means you have to sell your basketball team, the Clippers. Selling the Clippers -- this poor bastard -- selling them for $2 billion. Come on! That will teach him, right?” (“Late Show,” CBS, 7/29).
