From Jay Leno:

"Hey, want to give our best wishes to Chelsea Clinton. As you know, she got married on Saturday. So, that was very nice. And I tell you, it was a very emotional time for Bill and Hillary, because as you know, they hadn’t seen each other in years."

"Everybody looked beautiful. Did you see Hillary? She wore a dress. I mean, it was … over her pantsuit, but it looked great."

"And you know, I didn’t realize as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton had this much power. Did you see the wedding gift she gave to the new couple? New Zealand."

From David Letterman:

"Chelsea Clinton … got married over the weekend.… I’m beginning to think maybe I’m not getting an invitation."

"Have you seen photos of the event? It looked lovely. I mean, Hillary was there. She was wearing a strapless pantsuit."

"And of course, Bill had his attorneys add some wiggle room to the wedding vows."

"And it was funny, at one point Bill Clinton … accidentally backs into an ice sculpture at the reception and he goes, ‘Whoa, Hillary!’"
