Laugh Track....All In The Family

NFL Giants coach Tom Coughlin appeared on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” last night to promote his new book, “Earn The Right To Win.” Sitting in the studio audience was Giants G Chris Snee, who is also the son-in-law of Coughlin, and host Jon Stewart said, “Thank God, Chris Snee is an All-Pro offensive lineman,” but what do “you do if a bad football player marries into your family? Do you have to play them for the sake of Thanksgiving?” Laughing, Coughlin answered, “He doesn’t get in the family if he’s a bad football player” (“The Daily Show With Jon Stewart,” Comedy Central, 3/7).

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel: “Have you been following the unusual vacation plans of Dennis Rodman? Dennis Rodman was in North Korea last week where he spent some quality time with the supreme leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, the leader of the country that this morning promised to launch a preemptive nuclear strike against us. … I know this sounds like a bad movie plot, but we might need Donald Trump to fire Dennis Rodman from ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ so he can save us from obliteration. Dennis Rodman's publicist said he wants to go back to North Korea sometime in the next six months. He wants to use his new friendship with Kim Jong-un to help broker peace between the United States and North Korea. Maybe we should let him try it. We already let our smartest people try to work out peace. Why not let our dumbest person take a crack at it, too? It’s just so crazy it might kill everyone” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 3/7).
