the person who deserved to get it was david letterman.l has a bruised ego about the way the network wavered in its support for him. >> when we found out that leno was going to get "the tonight show," we were all obviously depressed. we felt like we were being punished for making fun of them and not cooperating and not being as collaborative as we could have been. and we also felt like we were being disrespected because we did 11 years of great shows. >> just how pissed off are you?

[cheers and applause] >> i love how doctor jill has to explain to biden, trump did not come to the kennedy center honors so stand up. there's a good reason for that. they make it sound like trump just wanted to ruin the party but the truth was in 2017 kennedy center honoree norman lear threatened to boycott the traditional white house reception over trump's policies. he and others politicize this event, it was always bipartisan so trump stayed home out of respect to the kennedy center but maybe he shouldn't. laura: he should have gone, why not? >> i always say the arts should not have a political -- should follow tries and bush line, they hugged, disagree horribly but there was a moment of togetherness. that's what the arts should do. should president biden have been out at all. he admitted last week he had a cold yet certain day he's out fraternizing at the kennedy center, here he was today. >> saying to drug companies if you're

three days after the election, bob dole went on david letterman's show, and he was funny.n the senator, going back over 40 years, people would say i didn't know bob dole was funny. if i knew he was like that, i might have voted for him. well, he was one of the very few people in washington who didn't need a speechwriter, didn't need a gag writer when it came to humor. he had a marvelous sense of the ridiculous, and, in fact, sometimes there were people who thought it was -- he wasn't running for president so much as he was observing the process of running for president and offering wry commentary from time to time. >> as you were speaking there, we saw congresswoman liz cheney, congressman hakeem jeffries there. president biden attending this as well. i wonder, as you watch this here, bob dole, he fought hard for his party. he was a devoted confidant of richard nixon. he had the term "hatchet man" attached to him by democrats. but he also through the years was willing to work with democrats on major legislation. i often wonder, as we see people like this pass away, whether

david letterman who is here and understands the truth of that as well. and throughout my career, i met nearly every world leader. and i'll tell you not everyone sees satire that way. you'd all be in jail. [ laughter ] joke. but really all kidding aside, think about it. but for america that's the power of our example. i wrote a line a long time ago that keeps getting quoted back to me. i make no apologies for it. america's led the world not by the example of our power, but the power of our example. that's who we are. that's what leads the world, the power of our example. and thank you for continuing that great american tradition. i really mean it. thank you. [ applause ] bette middler, got love her. i am such an unadulterated fan. bette is a true american treasure. it's hard to fully capture the range and breadth of her career and talents in a span of a decade or two. we in the biden family, no woman is as old as any man. that's the rule. all you've done, the songs, the shows, the movies. and it can't be done alone. four golden globe awards, three grammy

that's of course the fate of late-night stars jay leno and david letterman. >> "the tonight show" without made its debut last night. jay leno emerged from behind the curtain. >> oh, i don't care if you laugh. i got the job. don't matter to me. >> look at this. they are getting more press than the president. so start up your remote controls. a late-night race is about to begin. >> jay was a brilliant standup. he continued the tradition of johnny. he had a big group of monologue writers. that was the main writing on that show. he was writing the best topical jokes that anybody could write. >> democratic candidate bill clinton said he is also troubled by the amount of sex portrayed on television. clinton said where he comes from sex is a deeply personal matter between a candidate and his campaign volunteers. yeah. >> jay is more bob hope in the sense of set a punch line, set a punch line, he would tap into exactly the best joke of whatever happened that day. >> and because the big story in hollywood is still the fugitive. all right. but enough about michael jackson. you know. >> jay made the

. >> he was, so this is a clip from david letterman after the 1996 election.et, did it on the fly and reflexively. letterman-like. hilarious welcome back to "the late show. >> what are you doing? >> apparently not enough. >> people are sec lating that maybe you'll take a position with the clinton administration, is that a likelihood, anything that you're interested in? >> well, if he wanted to give me his job i'd think about it. >> both funny and he meant it. i just want to show this old headline written by some schmuck john king pack in the day. one of the interesting things, a joke there about bill clinton if bill clinton would give me that job i'd take it. dole made the decision to quit the senate and run as a candidate and he could not go back to the senate which was his love. >> he was a great legislative leader in the tradition of lbj and same raburn and other leaders on capitol hill who were able to forge coalitions even though they had strong personal opinions. he was a conservative republican, a fierce partisan, but he was willing to work with the mos

, and he was cracking the audience up, and david letterman says, boy, i wish we would have known howunny you were before. we would have had you on earlier. that is a lie. it did not want anybody to see how funny bob dole was. he was quite a good guy. host: michael, we talked with a former colleague of his, a former senator from wyoming, yesterday on the phone ahead of the tributes to the late senator bob dole. he talked about that very thing, about during his campaign that his aides advised him not to be funny, to not use his weight on the campaign trail. -- hiswit on the campaign trail and talked about how it was a mistake. caller: sure it was. i do think some of the late shows and things like that, and some of the mainstream media at that time were just as biased against conservatives as they are today. maybe not quite as much, but pretty close. host: pat, north carolina, democratic caller. caller: good morning. i am glad you were able to take my phone call. what i am calling about is i have already received my notice for my new benefits on social security. i got a $40 increase in

went on david letterman kidded in self-deprecating way. how he was beaten.ection. to their credit they got over it. to her of credit she didn't. hubert humphrey lost three times for the election. nixon lost once before. came back and redeemed himself. i wrote about andrew jackson losing to john quincy adams. he showed up at the inaugural and won again. this is pathetic. stuart: to entertain the audience, if it was a rematch hillary versus trump, who wins? >> trump eludes investigation, if nothing else comes up, i think he is running again. and i think he would, i think that he is in good shape to beat biden and or hillary clinton. if things stay somewhat the same as they are right now, if you see hillary clinton as terrible campaigner. she is very bad one-on-one. what she is a machine politician and a known name. nobody really likes her. they just accept her. she knows where the bodies are buried so to speak. she knows how to do the job but i don't think her decisions would be any good. stuart: before we close it it out i want to ask you a completely differe
