McCain, Obama On 'Last Comic Standing'

McCain, Obama On 'Last Comic Standing'


Both John McCain and Barack Obama appeared tonight on the finale of NBC's "Last Comic Standing" reality show. Both tried their standup routines from a mock presidential podium.



Who was funnier? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below.



McCain:



Obama:



As Post TV Columnist Lisa de Moraes pointed out the other day, it seems that candidates are more willing than ever to appear on these shows to prove themselves human, or funny -- candidates see the need to be liked by voters. What started as the rare appearance on a late-night comedy show has become a parade of television appearances: Jon Stewart, Steven Colbert, Conan, Leno, Letterman, SNL...Lifetime's Army Wives. And there seems to be no end in sight. So stay tuned.
