A few of the late night shows joke about autographs.

First, it was The Colbert Report. Stephen Colbert was joking about stocks going down and how he's losing all this money. He then says something like "I'll be okay. I have stuff hear I can sell. There's camera equipment, a desk...uh, is there anything on that book shelf over there that I can sell?"

The camera then shows three framed photos. The camera focuses in on one of Rick Springfield (Jesse's Girl). He says, "I can sell that! Yes, I'll sell that 8 x 10, unautographed photo of Rick Springfield from the internet."

Then the screen changes to make it look like QVC. And, it's listed as an "Unautographed original photo," and the price is $300,000. Colbert says, "Order now, because this rare picture is limited........to the amount of Xerox toner I have."

It was great.

Then on Conan O'Brien, the guests were the very talented and funny Ricky Gervas from The Office (BBC version). And, Samuel Jackson. Conan told him that the wax museum puts his life-size figure out front because it's the most popular and that fans all take their photo with it. Jackson laughs and says, "My friends will sometimes call me up and say they saw me in New York, but I was taking photos with some fans, so they didn't want to bother me. And, I wasn't even in New York. It was that wax figure. And...other people come up with a photo they want me to autograph. I say 'You know, this isn't really me.' They then snap and say "Just sign it!!!"

Conan laughed and said, "Well, you'll see signed photos of your wax figure on eBay soon."

Jackson then continued by saying, "I've actually been standing 40 feet from that thing, and people are over taking pictures with it. I don't get bothered. They leave me alone. It's that wax figure they're taking a picture with. It's great."
