this three day trip you know what one thing that really the comedians are like myself like dean obeidallah who are optimists and i really believe that the students are the hope of the future whether they're israeli american palestinian who were in the world they want peace they want to live a decent life so i am optimistic that there will be peace in the middle east scotland for i'm a comedy show stand up for peace thank you ever so much much pretty shady ok well we want to know what you think of the big stories of the day the question we're asking that we get this right we want to know what you think about real intentions of let's go and take a look at the wall here see what it says things voting if you have a vote still open for you well seventy percent majority if you think it's a p.r. stunt that's going to achieve nothing vast majority they have to say that doesn't change much for the last couple of hours just about nineteen percent this i was twenty other say it's a way to keep israel from attacking iran seven percent as you can see paying lip service only to palestine and minority th

comedian dean obeidallah is back.eard holly hughes talking about jodi arias, the trial. >> yes. >> listen to actress jennifer love hewitt commenting on the complexities of the trial. >> sex can be provocative. it can be dangerous and it can be amazing and romantic and passionate. it can really be all of those things. >> and, dean, as an aside, hewitt did say, if asked, she would consider playing the part of jodi arias in a tv movie. would you watch it? >> maybe. i think she's better suited for the supreme court. i'm hoping president obama nominates her if there's a vacancy. she's clearly a legal scholar. of course sex sells. obviously sex sells. but this trial, it's so much more than sex. it's about a woman killing a man, which is rare. usually there's three women killed a day by domestic violence. you have this woman giving three different versions of her story, jodi arias. and the brutal way her ex-boyfriend was killed. there's so much going on. it's not just sex with this case. >> that and -- i'm different. this an

dean obeidallah is back. he's the co-host of "the big three."rday night live." give us your take on fallon. >> i remember jimmy vividly. when he was auditioning, he was 23 years old. he was nervously holding his guitar. we talked for a minute or two. and i saw this whole trajectory of a guy who went from unknown, becoming a star on the show now to about to take the seat of basically the king of comedy. you dream as a comedian just to be on "the tonight show" let alone to host it. jimmy is a truly nice guy, unbelievably talented. i think it's going to work out. i think mid america is going to like it as much as people in the cities. he's like a young johnny carson. >> what i don't understand and correct me if i'm wrong, the ratings for jay leno are still very strong. he's number one. he beats all of them. why change horses in midstream if he's still doing okay? >> he's number one when you see the ratings. but in advertising sales, it's gone down a lot from the las few years because it's not doing as well. he's beating letterman. they're concerned

dean obeidallah? most angry at time warner for dropping current tv, and even though he's a good guy, he would spite something using old testament. >> john: oh my the hope the new owners heard that. that brings me to tonight's f-bomb. it's a special easter-time bundle of good news for right-wing christian homophobes. those hopeless romantics whose faith hinges on the belief that jesus hates the same people they do. rob ingersoll got engaged to his partner of nine years. and he would often send flowers from arlene's flowers where the owner has happily handled all of his gay moves. until now. then said i'm sorry i can't do your wedding because of my relationship with jesus christ.

dean obeidallah joining me for more. you wrote this op-ed. what's going on here do you think?ff fox worthy, the comedian once joked you might be a redneck if your lifetime goal is to open a fireworks stand. now i think it's to have a show. you have honey boo boo. duck dynasty, a -- one after the other. our viewing habits have changed. we're putting aside the beautiful people of the car dashians and the real housewives and focusing in on the rednecks. i don't mean that in a bad way. >> why is this happening? >> great question. i've asked people on social media that exact question. some of the frankly, it's a glimpse into a world most of us have never seen. on honey boo boo, they went to the redneck games which the mother described is like the olympics with less teeth and more butt cracks showing. we've never seen that before. that's a fun thing. it's a guilty pleasure. for some who told me on twitter and facebook, it makes them feel better about themselves watching other people's lives more screwed up. that's not all the shows but some of the shows are. honey boo boo is a littl

dino abdallah -- dean obeidallah. >> well, i can remember him nervously holding the guitar and talkingnd i stau whole trajectory of a guy becoming an unknown to a star and about to take the seat of the basically the king of comedy and you dream as a comedian just to be on "the tonight show" e let alone the host it. jimmy is truly a nice guy and unbelievely talent and and good fit for him. mid america will like him as much as people in the city which is a rare combination, and like a young johnny carson. >> we can talk more fallon, but correct me if i'm wrong, the ratings for jay leno is strong and he beats all of them, and so why change the horses in midstream if he doing okay? >> well, number one in the ratings, but in advertising sales it has gone down in recent years, because it is not doing as well and he is not beating "letterman" and also the concern is that jimmy kimmel is going to take the young people. so it is now or wait a few years for jay or do it now. and i reached out to some peo e people, and a i know on jimmy fallon's show, and nobody would respond to me, but if it is
