And the Cab Driver Was ... Rick Wagoner!

Economic jokes are flying thick and fast again on late-night TV.

David Letterman on The Late Show last night:

"Stock market keeps going down and down and down. Today I tipped my cabdriver with 100 shares of GM stock."

Letterman added:

"The New York Stock Exchange, by the way, if you are interested, is now a 99 cent store so get down there and do what you can."

Jay Leno on the Tonight Show was also weighing in on Wall Street:

"Astronomers say they have discovered enormous black holes 5 billion light years from Earth that is sucking up everything in their path. They name the black holes 'AIG-1'" and "AIG-2."
