While Jon Stewart was champing at the bit to joke about Dick Cheney’s heart transplant, he felt the pull to step away from it and address the tough to joke about story of the Trayvon Martin shooting.

Keeping to an offhanded quip he made a few weeks back, Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter did last night’s entire episode of “Conan” from a mini version of their set.

Michelle Obama and David Letterman had a very easygoing conversation on the “Late Show” last night, a sign that Dave was charmed by the First Lady. Right before she talked about her excursion to a DC-area Target last year, she and Dave talked about Bo, the Obama family dog.

What happens when Ted Buckland (Sam Lloyd) sees people in the “Cougar Town” world that look like people he knows in the “Scrubs” world? We found that out last night on “Cougar Town”.

Jon Bernthal: Scourge of zombies and criminals alike. The “Walking Dead” star, who has played plenty of cops, told David Letterman on Monday’s “Late Show” that he once busted a purse snatcher on his way home from work.

It’s amazing how the news cycle can even pass “The Daily Show” by sometimes; if something happens as they take their three-day weekends, sometimes their response on Monday seems a bit behind. That was the case with their take on the “Kony 2012″ movement.

Someone give Jon Hamm worker’s comp! Appearing on the “Late Show” Thursday night, the “Mad Men” star recounted several injuries he’s sustained while acting on the AMC drama.

Lindsay Lohan visited “Late Night” in the usual Thursday “SNL” host spot, and Jimmy Fallon kept things light and airy, limiting the conversation to how she got the hosting gig — she reached out to Lorne Michaels — and recounting the fun they had together doing the first-ever Debbie Downer sketch many years ago.

William Shatner has been doing a lot of interviews to promote his one-man Broadway show “Shatner’s World” — then again, he seems to be constantly doing interviews about something or other — but for one reason or another, he’s never gone on “The Colbert Report.” That changed last night.

Jon Stewart will be the first to tell you that he’s not a particularly tall man. He uses his lack of stature as the butt of many jokes. But the difference was stark when Stephen Merchant came out to talk to Jon about “Life’s Too Short.”
