The Juice is not loose anymore

Backstage at the Emmy's on Sunday, a reporter posed a question to The Daily Show's Jon Stewart asking what would Jon say to OJ Simpson if he had the first post-arrest interview:

Jon Stewart: ''Wait, he's in jail? For the Vegas thing? [Pause] Is this how it goes down, Capone? You kill two people and they get you for knocking over a room in Vegas?''
And a similar exchange between Conan O'Brien and a reporter:

Reporter: "Oh, and, Conan, did you hear about O.J. Simpson going to jail?"

Conan: "'Yeah, I just heard. Mary Hart told me. And the guy from Extra who used to be in a band told me about prime mortgage interest rates collapsing. I haven't read a newspaper in 14 years. I just get my news from these guys.''


Last night The Daily Show praised O.J. Simpson for bringing a nation back together, united once again, as a montage of newsclips played showing every news channel was using a variation on "whatever happens in Vegas, didn't stay in Vegas for O.J." like they were the first to come up with it.

Meanwhile, the city of Las Vegas should look for a new motto, as this one seems to have jumped the shark.
