With more information coming out about the Obama administration’s use of drones , Stephen Colbert took to his show to examine the implications of the program. Colbert took to task those against the program calling them “the same spoilsports who eventually ruined the Iraq war.”

On NBC, Jay Leno had more jokes about the sequester, tying it to Janet Napolitano’s comments about border security. On Late Night , Jimmy Fallon had a nice copy of Joe Biden’s new official portrait .
