Sikh joke
If
Dave's and
Conan's ratings are spiking in India, here's why:
The country's Sikh community is mad at Jay Leno.
Members of the religious group said they were outraged when the "Tonight Show" host showed a photo of a glittering gold building and claimed it was Republican Mitt Romney's summer home.
It was meant to be a joke because Romney, you know, is rich. Alas, the building in the photo is the Golden Temple, the holiest site in the Sikh religion.
Dalbeg Singh, a top Sikh leader, said yesterday that community leaders would seek an apology from Leno.
And really making a mountain out of a molehill, India's foreign minister says the government would take the issue up with U.S. authorities.

tucky men
who say they were sexually assaulted by Andy Dick at a West Virginia nightclub two years ago have filed a lawsuit against the comedian.
This begs the question, what was Andy Dick doing performing in West Virginia?
* Workers at Disney's theme parks will be allowed to grow beards and goatees for the first time ever.
