Conan: Conan O'Brien Syria's President Assad referred to President Obama as weak. Obama is so angry he plans to ask Congress for permission to come up with a good comeback. Motorola is now making the first smartphone that's not made overseas. It's made in Texas. It's also the first smartphone that doubles as a handgun. The Tonight Show: Jay Leno President Obama is trying to get congressional approval before mounting an attack on Syria. And if that works, there's talk we might even consider bringing back the rest of the Constitution! President Obama is pretty clever. Did you see what he is doing to get Congress to approve the attack? He told them Syrian President Assad supports Obamacare! About $30 million in $100 bills had to be destroyed because of a printing problem. Isn't that unbelievable? The only thing we know how to do right in this country is print money and we go and screw that up. Animated celebrity: Sun- day nights belong to the cartoons. Fox's Sunday night "Animation Domination" block dominated the night with slapstick gags and heartfelt laughs, and this year's seasons of "The Simpsons," "Bob's Burgers," "Family Guy" and "American Dad" are looking like they won't disappoint. With a list of guest stars long enough to be the script for its own show, these animated comedies are calling the shots as all four have their season premieres Sunday, Sept. 29. As "The Simpsons" marches into its landmark 25th season (making it the longest-running American scripted prime-time series in history), Kristen Wiig ("Despicable Me," 2010) marches into Springfield in the season premiere as a highstrung FBI agent. Other guest stars who will be lending their voices this season include comics legend Stan Lee ("Iron Man 3", 2013), Anderson Cooper ("Anderson Cooper 360°"), Eva Longoria ("Desperate Housewives") and Daniel Radcliffe (the "Harry Potter" franchise), to name just a few. Not to be outdone, the fourth season of the Emmynominated series "Bob's Burgers" is also offering up a bevy of guest voices, including Will Forte ("Gravity Falls"), Matt Walsh ("Veep") and Jordan Peele ("Key and Peele"). The somewhat-more-adult "Family Guy's" premiere is certainly pulling out some big guns. Maroon 5 front man and "The Voice" coach Adam Levine will be voicing an animated version of himself, alongside former "Simpsons" writer and current late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien the two front men from "Two and a Half Men," Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer, will also be lending their voice talents to the celebrity-packed premiere, with even more celebrities lined up throughout the season. Last up is "American Dad," but it's not scraping the bottom of the barrel with its guests. Zooey Deschanel ("New Girl") is lined up to guest star, along with musical legend Mariah Carey ("Lee Daniels' The Butler," 2013), Stanley Tucci ("The Hunger Games," 2012) and so many more. Laughing late: Comedy Central is entering into a new relationship with Dave Attell. The standup comedian is launching a new late-night, eight-episode series on the network, along with a onehour standup special, with both set to premiere some time next year. The as-of-yet untitled series will be hosted by Attell and will feature both up-and-comers and established funny folk as we've never seen them before: completely uncensored. It's a celebration of comics at their most authentic, speaking off the cuff. This is just the latest venture that Attell has entered into with Comedy Central. His style of humor certainly isn't for everyone — it's been politely described as "very adult" — but that certainly hasn't damaged his brand. His late-night travel series, "Insomniac with Dave Attell," aired from 2001 to 2004 and has continued on with many one-off specials. He also headlined a revival of an iconic TV show with "The Gong Show with Dave Attell" in 2008.
