NBC’s Jay Leno: “What a storm they had back east? My home state of Massachusetts got hit the hardest. It was so cold in Foxboro people were actually gathering around Bill Belichick just to feel the warmth. … Folks, here is a shocker: The Pope is resigning. I guess he took that Notre Dame loss to Alabama a lot harder than people thought. The Pope said he was stepping down at age 85 because he could no longer handle the job physically, to which Lance Armstrong said, ‘I got some stuff that can help you.’ … It’s now being revealed that a famous British author who published 22 romance novels under the name Jessica Blair is in fact an 89 year old man, to which Manti Te’o said, ‘I got fooled again!’” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 2/11).
CBS’ David Letterman: “I’m kind of excited because on the show tonight we have ten beautiful Sports Illustrated supermodels. And before the show I addressed the supermodels as I do with all our guests, kind of a little primer on how to behave in front of the camera, and I said, ‘You know ladies, you're all so beautiful and if you think about it this way, one day, one of you might be lucky enough to be kissing some fat little dumpy kid in the Super Bowl. … Pope Benedict is quitting. … He said he just doesn’t have the energy to be Pope anymore and somebody said, ‘Well, what are you doing?’ He said he tried the antler spray and that didn’t work” (“Late Show,” CBS, 2/11).
