The Republican Primary, as Re-Enacted by Jimmy Kimmel and Peanuts

By James Poniewozik

The Republican primary candidates debated once again on CNN last night. If you’d like actual political analysis of the event, I’ll send you to my friends at Swampland, but other than some wrangling over military policy and Newt Gingrich’s position on immigration, there seemed to be few momentum-shifting moments. So instead, I invite you to [...]

Jaypocalypse / Conanundrum: We Have a Winner!

By James Poniewozik

David Letterman has been killing it the past few nights when it comes to the Jaypocalypse, in which he has a long-standing personal investment. But the most audacious and outrageously funny late-night take on the situation yet belongs to Jimmy Kimmel, who did his entire show last night as Jay Leno. See it here in [...]
