THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO* People say Herman Cain was rambling and embarrassed himself while trying to answer a question about Libya. Some say it proves he's not qualified to be president. But the good news is, rambling and embarrassing himself does qualify him to be vice president.
* Cain's only real foreign policy experience is from when he ran the National Restaurant Association and had to deal with the manager from the International House of Pancakes.
* Police in New York City cleared Zuccotti Park of the Occupy Wall Street protesters. Why don't we let them occupy basketball arenas around the countries? We're not using them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONAN* Occupy Wall Street protesters are planning to occupy the subway in New York City. Because if there's one place to confront the nation's wealthiest 1 percent, it's the subway.
* Regis Philbin is retiring this week and Vice President Joe Biden stopped by and gave Regis a gift of a bag of tennis balls. When I retire, don't tell Joe Biden.
* Someone shot a bullet at the White House. The Secret Service ruled out Jon Huntsman because that guy has no shot at the White House.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN* New York City police went into Zuccotti Park in a midnight raid, and the mayor rode in on his pet Chihuahua.
* Now the protesters are demanding to be relocated at an area Olive Garden.
* No more sleeping or no camping in New York City parks. Hooker, crack dealers, not a problem.
* Protesters are also now demanding that Mayor Bloomberg be replaced by Billy Crystal.

THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH CRAIG FERGUSON* President Obama is in Australia. When he's in Australia, his approval ratings go down the toilet in a counter-clockwise motion.
* Obama was in Hawaii, now he's in Australia, and then he's going to Indonesia. I think he saw the Republican debates and thought, "This election will be a piece of cake. I'm going on vacation."
* Obama said we're sending 2,500 marines to Australia. They're going for one reason: We've declared war on the dingoes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON* The Republican Presidential candidates have really been fighting for attention this week. In fact, Rick Perry proposed cutting the president's salary in half. Yeah, Perry was like, "What do I care? It's not like it'll affect me!"
* In a new interview, Herman Cain said that if Rick Perry were an ice cream flavor, he'd be "Rocky Road." I don't know, Perry's not really any flavor of ice cream. He's just the brain freeze part.
* There's apparently an upscale club in New York where members eat beaver tail, hard boiled duck eggs, and lamb eyeballs. Or you could go the cheaper route, and just order a McRib.
