"Kiwi the People": New Zealand has outlawed some forms of political satire, so Jon took it upon himself to grab some footage of the Kiwi government and work some magic. And by "work some magic", I mean "make fart noises". I did enjoy the very serious asides about New Zealand's background, though. So I guess it really is more than the filming location of Lord of the Rings! WOW.

"Long-Distance Velocipede Bulletin": With controversy being such a natural part of the sporting world, even the Tour de France is not immune. I love that the "taunting Lance Armstrong" line garnered boos. Everyone loves that Armstrong guy. I mean, if Jon had said that line about a Republican congressman or something, people would have been laughing. But Armstrong is off-limits.

As if Floyd "Testosterone" Landis doesn't have enough problems, now he's in the middle of another morning show war between The Today Show and Good Morning America.

Landis made the rounds on all the networks yesterday with his wife, defending himself against allegations that he cheated to win this year's Tour de France. He had an agreement that he would do an interview with GMA host Robin Roberts live, and then the interview he taped earlier with The Today Show would be shown after the live interview aired on GMA. But Today got sneaky and aired their interview before GMA did theirs. And that ticked off both GMA and Landis.

Someone at NBC said "I find it interesting in light of Mr. Landis' situation that he would question anyone's integrity right now." Ouch.

Landis will appear on Jay Leno's show tonight to answer more questions.
