Yeah, the place was packed with Norwegians and yet somehow Obama was able to spot Will Smith.” – Conan O’Brien

“A lot of heads of state at the Copenhagen summit, and a lot of scientists, and scientists are guys that don’t get out a lot. They’re always staring into beakers.

So the hottest pickup line at the Copenhagen Climate Summit is, ‘Is it getting hotter, or is it just me?'” – David Letterman

You just sneak in, okay?” – Jay Leno

“During a speech on the economy, President Obama said this week, ‘We have to continue to spend our way out of the recession.’ To which Nicholas Cage said, ‘That’s what I’ve been trying to do!'” – Jay Leno
