Laugh Track....Marketing Star

Cowboys QB Tony Romo appeared on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and discussed the team’s offseason. ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel asked, “Is there a higher profile position in all of team sports … than quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys?” Romo replied, “Other than an ABC talk show, I wouldn’t say there’s anything more high profile.” Kimmel then listed Romo’s on-field accomplishments, but wondered why every time he sees a commercial on TV, it’s of Peyton Manning. Kimmel: “Why doesn't Papa John love you as much?” Romo replied, “You haven’t watched much TV because I just did a Pizza Hut commercial. I feel like I’m rising up slowly” ("Jimmy Kimmel Live," ABC, 3/18). 

NBC’s Jimmy Fallon: “March Madness, who are you guys picking? Everyone's picking Kentucky. … There’s too many colleges; I don't even know what I'm doing. I fill it out, I just hand it in. Jeb Bush filled one out. You can tell he's running for president because his picks for the Final Four are Iowa, Iowa, Iowa and Iowa. … I saw President Obama. He did the bracket too. He sat down with ESPN and he said that he thinks the NCAA should reduce the shot clock for basketball games. Then he said, ‘And while they're at it, any way they can reduce the being president clock?’ … According to a professor at DePaul University, if a person randomly fills out their March Madness bracket, they have a a 1 in 9.2 quintillion chance of getting it perfect. Or as gamblers put it, ‘So you're saying I got a chance?’” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 3/18).

CBS’ David Letterman: “There’s a new baseball commissioner. Do you know what that means? I bet you know what that means. Pete Rose said, ‘Aha! I’m going to shoot the guy a note and see if I can’t get my lifetime baseball ban overturned.’ We have a copy of the note right here.” A copy of the faux note was shown on screen, which was written on the back of a betting slip (“Late Show,” CBS, 3/18).
