Line 116:
* ''[[The Daily Show]]'' obviously couldn't stoop so low as to cover Paris Hilton's imprisonment in 2007 - but mentioned that if anyone ''else'' wanted to, a good headline for them to use might be "Shawskank Redemption".
** "I'm not saying Dick Cheney absorbs light. Or that if he were to brush by a plant, that plant would three days later die."
** [http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-august-10-2006/geraldo-apology "What are you saying, Jon? That Geraldo and O'Reilly are narcissists enthralled with their own overblown egos, projecting their own petty insecurities onto the world around them, inventing false enemies for the sole purpose of bolstering their sense of self-importance, itty-bitty Nixons minus the relevance or a hint of vision? How DARE you?!"]
** A similar Stephen one, when he reviewed the 2004 Oscars in song: "Oh, are you saying it was a tedious exercise in void-filling, Jon? An industry-wide circle-jerk televised for the wanking convenience of a billion drooling wannabes? The one night people in this town pretend quality matters when each and every one of them devotes the better part of their lives to trying to figure out a way [[Dwayne Johnson|to make The Rock a movie star]]? 'Cause you know what, Jon, you know what, I'm sorry, I don't have a ''song'' for ''that''!" [beat] "Though 'Ice Ice Baby' might work."
* On ''[[Top Gear]]'', Jeremy Clarkson did this as a way of sneakily previewing a car (an Aston Martin V8 Vantage) he wasn't technically allowed to announce yet. The other two presenters played along with a chorus of "I would have really like to hear that" and "Oh, I wish you could have told us that."
