Oh, Joe.
First he's the most famous plumber on the planet. Then he's not a licensed plumber. Now he owes a bit in back taxes.
Fifteen minutes of fame can stink sometimes.
With newfound fame comes a big price: being the subject of late-night jokes. The dedicated dad from Ohio (whose first name is Samuel) has become fodder for every comedian out there .... even Joe Biden.
In our video round-up of every Joe joke told on late-night TV, the Democratic VP nominee kicks it off with an appearance on Leno. Joe the Senator takes a dig at Joe the Plumber while Leno wonders what the heck happened to Joe Sixpack.
Conan counts the plumber nods at the debate (a whopping 21, he says) and wonders what happened to Bush's favorite Joe Average, Larry the Cable Guy.
Not to be outdone, Letterman, Colbert, Kimmel and Stewart go for their own set of chuckles.
Not to worry though, Joe, 15 minutes never last too long. I think I hear the egg-timer now....
