Witnesses that saw the Southwest crash thought at first that it was a movie. That's what I love about this town. Where else than in L.A. can a plane skid down a runway, crash through a fence, slide across a road, almost hit a gas station, and have people go, "It's so fake…."

Comedian Willie Barcena from his appearance on THE TONIGHT SHOW with JAY LENO:
I just got back from Reno, where I was doing a little gambling. I hate it when I'm losing because I start talking to God - and I know it's wrong because I'm gambling. That's like getting on the phone and calling for a hooker and saying, "Lord, don't let her be ugly."

Anybody watch that new fugitive show on CBS?

Have you seen this commercial for Viagra? The guy comes home, he's rushing around, he's cleaning the house, he's cooking dinner, he's setting the table, he's putting flowers and candles out before his wife gets home.
