Woody After Hours

Late Show Highlights

Woody — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:19:32 +0000

Last week Letterman celebrated a huge milestone, and I reviewed two Late Shows in honor of it. You’d think it would make sense for me to review a different late-night show today. But, how can I not watch last night’s episode when there were so many great guests lined up? Answer: I can’t, so here [...]

My wife and I spent the weekend in Chicago. She had meetings and I had family. Productivity and fun times occurred. Most importantly, Chicago-style pizza was consumed. I don’t take sides in many issues. During my years on this planet I’ve learned that neither side is “right.” Also, I’m not a huge fan of arguing. [...]

Following Through On His Threat

I don’t believe Woody ever planned to go down the path he joked about with Isabel in a previous strip. But when the cat ain’t where you need it to be, and you’re standing on a monologue stage with a camera pointed at you, you gotta go with what you know. Late Night with Jimmy [...]

Late Show Highlights

David Letterman officially celebrated 30 years of late-night television with last night’s Late Show. Incredible. Simply incredible. The monologue focused almost exclusively on the milestone, and in true Letterman fashion he was as understating and self-deprecating as ever: If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need to [...]

Happy February! We should all be congratulated for making it through January, which is easily the fourth hardest month of the year. Nice job everyone. Eat a cupcake. Woody mentioned it at the beginning of Tuesday’s late-night show review, but it bears repeating: David Letterman celebrates a huge milestone this week: 30 years of late-night [...]

David Letterman celebrates a huge milestone this week: 30 years of late-night television. Wow, that’s an amazing accomplishment. Here were my favorite monologue jokes from last night’s Late Show with David Letterman: Anybody here been riding on the New York City subways? Well, you can no longer eat on the subway. You get caught eating [...]

Coming Up Next 9

It’s our first animated comic! How you like us now? No more than you did before today? Oh, ok. Paul did a great job putting this strip together. I asked him if every comic could have animation in it. His response actually hurt my ears, which is weird cause it was in an email. So, [...]

Back On His Feet

Here’s a great little nugget from Denver about Checkered Man in today’s comic: When [Checkered Man] sighs in panel two and replies “I guess so” that’s because he doesn’t like the name “Checkered Man” but it was given to him by Penelope and since he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings…well…it’s kind of stuck with [...]

Conan Highlights

Woody — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:38:36 +0000

Here were my favorite monologue jokes from last night’s Conan. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says she has dirt on Newt Gingrich, but so far she’s keeping her lips sealed. Not because of discretion, because that’s how the last surgeon left them. A new website just came out, and it’s been designed to calculate how [...]

Woody is nothing if not a soft touchdown for superheroes in need. When you’re the host of your own show you will understand this. Until then you just need to trust me…with your money. Tales of a Checkered Man updates every Tuesday. That means there was an update yesterday. And that means there is one [...]
