Chumworth Jokes Submitted to the Late Show

From July 2003 until October 2009 I wrote and submitted monologue jokes to the LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN. I wrote and submitted about 10 jokes for each show they taped, the vast majority of which were not used. But a couple of times each month (sometimes more, sometimes less) Dave would use one on air and I would get paid for it!

Dave is one of my top two all-time comedy heroes, so it was an honor and a privilege to hear him tell a joke I wrote. Every single time. It never, ever got old.

This section displays all of the jokes I submitted over the years, in all their glory (such as it is). Use the archive links at the lower left to jump to a specific month, or the search box to look for jokes on a certain topic.

Jokes highlighted in bold were used on air (sometimes after further modification), though I don't remember when I started using this convention. You can see all of my jokes that were used on air by Dave (as well as those told by Jay and Carson and Jimmy) on my Late Night Jokes page.

Enjoy!

He's pretty happy about that – since we all know how much he likes oral.

That's particularly damning because it means he was having an affair with her well before he started wearing glasses.

A new study by Italian researchers finds that obese men can improve their sex life by exercising and losing weight – and not smelling like cheese.

Thousands of people have been lining up to meet former President Bill Clinton at his book signings.

They're limiting people to just one minute to talk with him – and five minutes under the table.


The U.S. government has revised its count of terrorist attacks in 2003.

Apparently, after going over the numbers again, they found 18 more attacks, 318 more deaths – and 500 more votes for Al Gore.

Rumsfeld said he couldn't take all the credit: it was President Bush who had the idea of putting the naked guys on the leashes.


The United States announced this week that it will hand over legal custody of Saddam Hussein to Iraq, but will retain physical custody of him.

And if it works with Saddam, then we'll try it with Martha Stewart.

The good news is it's helping to thin out the rat population here in New York.

So I guess we won't be seeing Courtney Love around these parts again.

Former President Bill Clinton's memoirs officially went on sale today.

To promote the book he's doing a book tour of mostly small, independent adult bookstores.

So many people are turning out for his book signings, each person is only allowed to spend about one minute with him.

It's the same way he handled White House interns.


Earlier this week SpaceShipOne became the first private spacecraft to take a person into space, 62 miles above Earth.

That's highest a private citizen has ever gotten – except for Whitney Houston.


Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader announced yesterday that Peter Camejo will be his vice presidential running mate.

That means he's just a heartbeat away from not having a chance in hell of getting elected president.


Fidel Castro has warned President Bush not to invade Cuba.

He'd better be careful, or the next thing he knows we'll be checking him for fleas.


Whitney Houston announced this week that she's going to perform in China for the first time this summer.

He hasn't had that big of a pot in his hands since – J Lo.

To be fair, thought, the poll didn't ask people to factor in T&A.


A man in Texas has been found guilty of criminal trespassing for streaking during the Super Bowl earlier this year.

His defense was pretty weak; he claimed it was a wardrobe malfunction.


Trinity Broadcasting Network is developing a Christian version of “American Idol.”

This is pretty clever: for judges they're going to have Peter, Paul and, of course, the really mean judge – Pontius Pilate.


The Supreme Court ruled this week that a suspect in a crime cannot refuse to give his or her names to police when asked.

Are you listening, Courtney?

Yesterday was my first Father's Day as a father.

I thought this was nice, for Father's Day, Harry and I got matching diapers.


Last night here on CBS, former President Bill Clinton was interviewed on “60 Minutes” to promote his new autobiography.

It was some interview. He discussed a number of weighty topics, like the Middle East, the economy – and Monica.


Former President Bill Clinton says in his new autobiography that Hillary was so mad after he confessed to his affair with Monica Lewinsky that she made him sleep on the couch for two months.

And then, for extra punishment, for two months after that she made him sleep in bed with her.


Britney Spears has reportedly gotten engaged.

It sounds serious. She's already practicing how to lip synch “I do.”

Here's how serious she is about this: she says from now on, no more making out with women on Saturdays.


Over in England a judge has ruled that the public does not have the right to hike through Madonna's country estate.

Which is pretty strange, since most of the public has already been through her fields.


This past weekend the Olympic torch was carried through New York City.

Earlier today in California, SpaceShipOne, the world's first private craft, carried a person into space.

You can tell it's graduation season here in New York City.

It's going to be the first presidential memoirs that are sold behind the counter in brown paper wrapping.

No word yet on whether he had any ties to Martha Stewart.


The postal service announced this week that they're going to issue a Ronald Reagan stamp next year.

They expect the stamp to be really popular. In fact, they're saying he could become the most licked president since – Bill Clinton.

Let's see: the economy there's in shambles, the government is barely in control and they're overrun with al Qaeda – yeah, I'd say our work there is done.

President Bush said this week that the U.S. will not turn over Saddam Hussein to the new Iraqi government when it transfers power on June 30.

He said the U.S. will only turn Saddam over when we're absolutely sure the new Iraqi government is capable of checking him for fleas.


President Bush said yesterday that he still believes that Saddam Hussein was involved with al Qaeda.

Of course, he still believes in the tooth fairy, too.


Earlier this week the federal government declared that batter-coated french fries will now be classified as fresh vegetables.

It's all part of the government's plan to come up with a diet that Dick Cheney can stick too.


Details have recently emerged about Vice President Dick Cheney's secret underground bunker.

Apparently, the bunker has five buildings, its own water supply – and a world class cardiac unit.


NASA says that the Mars Spirit rover has started to develop some mechanical problems due to wear and tear.

NASA said the problems aren't surprising. The rover has worked much longer than anybody thought it would – just like Mike Wallace.

Doctor's say she'll have to wear a brace for six weeks and then spend eight to 12 relearning how to lip sync.


There are reports now that Michael Jackson paid $23 million to settle a civil suit by a boy who accused him of molesting him in 1993.

I guess Michael was desperate to save face.

Kobe Bryant didn't play well in the series. In fact, I haven't seen him put up such a weak defense since his last court appearance.


Earlier today President Bush made a speech that was broadcast via satellite to U.S. troops around the world.

He made the speech here in the U.S. while the troops were actually in war zones – it's kind of like how he completed his military service.


The third season of Jessica Simpson's show “Newlyweds” debuted on MTV earlier tonight.

I'm glad to see that show is still on the air, because it means I'm not the dumbest blonde on TV.

Former President Clinton's memoirs, “My Life,” are already climbing the bestseller charts, before the book has even come out.

He hasn't had something shoot up this fast since he met Monica.

President Clinton has been working hard promoting the book, which is over 900 pages long.

I believe he hasn't humped something this big since... Monica.


Gas prices have finally begun to fall again.

You can tell gas prices are going down. For example, this week over at the Hello Deli the price of Rupert's chicken soup is down 6 cents.


Despite the recent drop, gas prices are still really high.

I'm thinking if I want to spend $40 to fill up with gas – I'll just grab a hot dog at Yankee Stadium.


Bad economic news: The U.S. trade deficit rose to a record $48 billion in April.

It's all part of President Bush's “No Third World Worker Left Behind” program.


In space this week, the Cassini spacecraft took close up pictures of Saturn's moon Phoebe.

Phoebe is just one of many moons of Saturn, including Rachel, Ross, Joey, Chandler and Monica.

Just to give you a sense of how far away the spacecraft is, it's now farther out there than Michael Jackson.

This means the U.S. Army is now the first army in the world to ever get a queer makeover.

The new uniforms come with digital camouflage, no-shine boots – and lots of hair product.


Good news: the federal government now says that Social Security has enough funds to last until 2052.

Which is the same thing they say about Cher.


Rush Limbaugh announced he's getting divorced.

On the bright side, he gets custody of the housekeeper.

The good news is they say it won't happen again – since the Kerry people are much better at math.

He's the first president to address Congress who barely speaks English since – George W. Bush.


A new study finds that one in 125 people in the United Stats is a millionaire, or 0.8 percent of the population.

Coincidentally, President Bush's approval ratings are at about 0.8 percent.

Coincidentally, former President Bill Clinton once celebrated his birthday by landing on two interns.

P. Diddy, who's performing in “A Raisin in the Sun” here on Broadway, had to leave the show on Saturday night because of a stomach ailment.

His understudy had to go on and they say he did really well – especially considering he'd never fired a weapon before.

They say one application will last for an entire 55-hour marriage.

McCain said he was flattered but he had to turn down Kerry's poorly articulated offer.


The second season of Paris Hilton's reality show “The Simple Life” debuts on Fox this week.

Of course, it's not her most eagerly awaited sequel.


Over in England this weekend, Richard Branson set a speed record for crossing the English Channel in an amphibious car in under two hours.

This summer the U.S. Army is going to begin destroying chemical weapons containing VX nerve gas. What they're going to do is, in an airtight building, technicians will wear protective gloves and use a special pump to drain the chemical from their shells.

It's the same thing they did to Rush Limbaugh.


Martha Stewart is asking for a new trial because a government witness at her first trial lied on the witness stand

Martha said if she knew you could lie on the witness stand, she would have testified herself.


Here in New York a man who weighs 900 pounds says he's going to lose the weight by break dancing.

I believe it's the same plan that Oprah followed.

He'd be the biggest thing to hit the dance floor since – J. Lo's ass.

I thought this was nice: her husband Nick Lachey bought her “Hooked on Phonics.”


Jennifer Lopez got married last weekend to singer Marc Anthony and her ex boyfriend P. Diddy says that he's happy about it.

I haven't seen that many people filing past a dead body since – earlier today on the subway.

This was strange: after she was arrested, she demanded that she be stripped naked and led around on a leash.

Donald Rumsfeld has denied this charge saying Saddam is being treated humanely. Apparently, he gets walked naked on a leash twice a day.

Luckily, it's not her lip-syncing knee.

After the surgery, Britney showed the doctor and nurses her appreciation by lip-syncing a heartfelt “thank you.”

A group of genes that stop working hard when they hit 40 – just like President Bush.


Earlier this week in France they held a royal funeral for the heart of Louis XVII, who died as a young boy in prison after his parents were executed during the French Revolution.

Apparently the heart is shriveled up and rock hard after all these years – just like Dick Cheney's.

It was so hot today I saw a bunch kids trying to bust open a fire hydrant – no, wait, they were just stealing it.


Today is day four of the Jennifer Lopez-Marc Anthony marriage.

That means right about now Jennifer Lopez is getting the “four day itch.”

You can understand why he's being careful – you never know when the divorce will come through.

They discussed all the uprisings and dissent and the upcoming transfer of power – and then they discussed Iraq.

There are reports now that Jennifer Lopez is pregnant.

You know what this means – we could be looking at a shotgun divorce.

I saw a sure sign this weekend that summer's here again – Jennifer Lopez got married.


Jennifer Lopez got married over the weekend to singer Marc Anthony.

I'm not sure this is a good sign – she caught the bouquet.

They say this time it looks like the real thing – it's her first wedding where she didn't bring a date.

Her old friend P. Diddy was there and offered a 21-shot salute.

She got a good deal on her honeymoon – she was able to use her frequent flyer miles from her previous honeymoons.


Last night was the big “Sopranos” season finale. The next season won't start for another 18 months.

By the time the next season starts, Jennifer Lopez will have gotten married three more times.


President Bush was in France this weekend to commemorate the 60th anniversary of D-Day.

I believe he's the first U.S. president to speak at D-Day ceremonies who was never elected.

He was only in Europe for 36 hours. He flew over, attended some ceremonies and flew home.

It was just like his National Guard service.


Before attending the D-Day ceremonies, President Bush met with the pope in Italy.

Aides say it was a productive meeting – he got a $10,000 contribution.


The body of Former President Reagan will lie in state in both California and Washington this week, before he's buried in California next weekend.

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry says that he's suspending his campaign for a few days in observance of former President Reagan's death.

Aides say he'll resume failing to articulate his message next week.


O.J. Simpson says that he is getting his own reality TV show.

He says it'll be a lot like “Punk'd” – but with more bloodshed.

It's going to be called “Knife'd.”
