Laugh Track....Pump Up The Jams

CBS’ David Letterman said the Falcons “have been fined and lost a draft pick because, through their loudspeaker system at the stadium, they have been using fake crowd noise. So you have the real crowd and then they jump it up with some kind of high volume amplified fake crowd sound. It’s the same setup I have in my bedroom. The New York Jets do not use crowd noise, but they do have a laugh track. And by the way, here at ‘The Late Show,’ the silence you hear is real” (“The Late Show,” CBS, 3/31).

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel said, “Kate (Middleton) and her husband, Prince William, are expecting their second child next month and a popular thing to gamble on over there in Great Britain is what the baby’s name will be. You can bet on this legally, too. There are places you can go. I guess this is the British version of filling out a March Madness bracket” ("Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 3/31).

Last night’s edition of NBC’s “The Tonight Show” featured a segment called “Puppy Predictors” in which puppies predicted who would win out the Final Four in the NCAA Tournament (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 3/31).
