fail... and the sound engineers added a laugh track to
the broadcast... very interesting.

"They added laughter where there was none during uncomfortable portions. Well, there was some laughter. Mine, of derision. During those pregnant pauses in her performance I was laughing long and loud, couldn’t help myself as much of what she was saying was utterly surreal, ridiculous, hypocritical - nonsense, spewed platitudes, pushed buttons. I was seriously thinking of leaving as it was getting hysterically unfunny."

But I'm not surprised; why are they protecting her?

2. They didn't add the laugh track for her, they added it for Leno.

After the Conan fiasco, Leno's first show can't have a hack "comedian" suck all the air out of the room.

3. No, they added it for her.

There is nothing more that corporate America would like more than an even emptier vessel than Bush* who happens to agree with virtually all of the corporate agenda in the first place, and to boot has absolutely no scruples.

The woman is dangerous, period.

4. They add it for everyone,

It's called television.

5. I've been to

Letterman, Conan (Late Show and Tonight Show), and unfortunately had to go to Jay Leno's Tonight Show. They all do it.
