Conan O’Brien joked during his Friday night monologue, “Madonna says she is more interested in pursuing a movie career than being a singer. That’s what she said. Yeah. Yeah, Apparently Madonna realized she was a great actress, after seeing Mariah Carey in ‘Glitter.’”

Jay Leno continued his assault on Mariah Carey’s movie Glitter joking during his Friday monologue, “And thanks to all the coverage, Americans are finally starting to see just how oppressive this Taliban regime can be. You know, in Afghanistan, there’s no dancing. There’s no singing. There’s no music. It’s like the movie ‘Glitter.’”

Saturday Night Live’s Jimmy Fallon opened Weekend Update last night by joking, “U.S. Officials continue the search for Osama bin Laden. Reports suggest that bin Laden is most likely hiding out somewhere remote and barren, where he will not encounter others. The FBI has begun searching theaters showing the movie ‘Glitter.’”

Jay Leno joked about Mariah Carey’s movie Glitter yet again Friday saying, “Movie theaters showing the movie ‘Glitter’ have announced that out of every $8 admission, $3 will go towards acting lessons for Mariah Carey. Isn’t that something?”

Oscar winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr. was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno talking about his role in the telethon last Friday and when Jay asked if he invested in Mariah Carey’s movie Glitter, Cuba responded, “I had 25 cents in it. And I want 24 back!”

Gooding added, “No, I’m kidding! I didn’t see the movie. That’s — see, that’s not good now. Mariah Carey’s a beautiful woman. She can sing really good…. Stay away from films!” After Jay responded, “Uh oh,” Cuba assured, “It’s a joke!”

Earlier in the show during Jay’s monologue, he again took a shot at Glitter saying, “Come on, you gotta be fair. How many have seen the new movie ‘Glitter’? Have you been to that? You know, they’re calling it the blockbuster movie of the fall. And since this is fall, it should be in Blockbuster right about now.”
