The long and tiring campaign season catches up to many Americans by the time Election Day rolls around. TV news reporters are no exception to this.

One reporter out of Miami is probably wishing today that the Internet wasn't so quick to pick up on the mistakes of others. But that cat's out of the bag, so let's have some fun!

Gawker tips us to Blake Burman over at "camp Obama" on Tuesday night, where the reporter for Fox affiliate WSVN-7 had a little trouble putting a correct name to one famous face.

"Just giving you a little bit of what you see here," Burman says, nodding his head as the camera pans right to show two men talking. "That's Wyclef Jean, giving an interview."

Burman is then fed the man's real name from someone off camera, which he mishears and delivers to viewers. "Wahlay, excuse me, Wahlay. Got my artists mixed up."

About 30 seconds later it appears to dawn on Burman as he looks down, perhaps at an off-camera note, stops mid-sentence and says, "Will.i.am, good grief, man I am tired. It's will.i.am, I'm sorry I'm mixing up my artists here. But either way, you kinda get the idea."

So, it wasn't a good, good night for Burman and his Black Eyed Peas recall. At least the anchors back at the news desk were kind enough not to rub it in. We can't say the same for the Internet.

• Trump, Nugent, others tweet election anger

Ted Nugent said on Twitter: "I cry tears of blood for The Last Best Place & the warriors who died for this tragedy."

The election of President Barack Obama to a second term Tuesday night had many cheering in the streets, and the Twitterverse alight with commentary (and his most-ever-retweeted photo, once he posted a picture of himself hugging wife Michelle). But not everybody was so happy.

In fact, some were downright furious.

Donald Trump may have been the most outraged, releasing a stream of Tweets that ran the gamut from calling for a revolution ("He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!" which was later deleted) to declaring, "We are not a democracy!"

That kind of commentary led NBC's Brian Williams to call Trump out, noting the businessman has now "driven well past the last exit to relevance and veered into something closer to irresponsible." Trump was back at it on Wednesday, firing off a series of tweets aimed at the "Nightly News" anchor. 

Former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Victoria Jackson also sent through a list of tweets, noting "I can't stop crying" multiple times and that "America died" last night. "Thanks a lot Christians, for not showing up. You disgust me," she tweeted. 

Twitter

Meanwhile, Ted Nugent kept things blunt, tweeting: "Pimps whores & welfare brats & their soulless supporters hav a president to destroy America." (Typos left as tweeted.) Later, he added, "Goodluk America u just voted for economic & spiritual suicide. Soulless fools"

Twitter

Stephen Baldwin felt similarly, tweeting: "2nite Gods Spirit lifted within me&joy came over me, I will serve the Lord, my hope is in Jesus not Obama, Gods wrath is upon US. 2Thes2:11" (Typos left as tweeted.)

Twitter

"The Middle's" Patricia Heaton, however, was disappointed but kept her comments relatively mild. "Bracing for 4 more yrs of high taxes, high unemployment, high debt," she tweeted, adding later, "At least the president can't blame the mess he's 'inheriting' on anyone else but himself!"

Twitter

Still, for anyone who did find last night's results heartening, here's a quick look through some of the top Tweets about not just the election, but ballot issues that dealt with gay marriage and marijuana, among others.

Tuesday night, President Barack Obama won another four years in office, which means someone else also just got re-elected: Fadi Saleh, the genius behind BaracksDubs, will now have a second term to keep producing hilarious, quick-cut videos of the president "singing" to popular tunes.

And Saleh, a 19-year-old biochemistry major, is wasting no time; last night, he posted his first post-election mash-up of clips from Obama speeches married with MC Hammer's 1990 hit "U Can't Touch This."

In the short video, Obama may look presidential at the podium, standing in front of numerous cheering crowds, but thanks to the terrific editing and vocal tweaks, he gets down and funky, even removing his jacket at one point and uttering "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots" randomly at the end.

President Barack Obama says he might be able to do Psy's "Gangnam Style" moves.

The virus known as "Gangnam Style" has spread all the way to the Oval Office.

More from Rolling Stone: Breaking down Psy's 'Gangnam Style' video

During an Election Day interview with New Hampshire radio station WZID-FM, Barack Obama was asked about the sensation sparked by K-Pop star Psy, whose "Gangnam Style" video is up to nearly 660 million views on YouTube as of Tuesday (the song itself has been perched at Number Two on Billboard's Hot 100 for weeks).

"I just saw that video for the first time, and I think I can do that move," said Obama, referring to the horse-dance move that Psy performs throughout the clip. Asked whether he would do the "Gangnam Style" dance if he is reelected president, Obama said, "I'm not sure that the inauguration ball is the appropriate time to break that out," then suggested an alternative. "You know, maybe do it privately for Michelle."

Obama has been chiming in on pop culture hot topics – from Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj's "American Idol" feud to his friendship with Jay-Z and Beyoncé – during radio interviews throughout the campaign.

Jay-Z joined President Barack Obama at a campaign rally in Columbus, Ohio, on Monday and offered a lyrical twist on his hip-hop hit, "99 Problems."

The rapper subbed "Mitt" for "a b--ch" in the song, singing, "I got 99 problems but Mitt ain't one" in a nod to Obama's Republican challenger, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. 

"I didn't get that vetted, so let's do this real fast before they come up here and snatch me off this stage," Jay-Z says to the cheering crowd.

Bruce Springsteen also rallied with Obama a day ahead of Tuesday's election. The rocker performed in Madison, Wisc.

Romney was on a four-state tour through Florida, Virginia, Ohio and New Hampshire.

It's high time we Chris Rock the vote, which is exactly what happened Friday night on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" when the politically savvy comic made the case that "Barack Obama is the white president you can trust."

It sounds counterintuitive, we know, but check out the huge pool of supporting data Rock has amassed.

Best memes of the 2012 election

Consider that Obama was raised by his blindingly white grandparents, likes to golf, bowl and body surf and that his casual fashion choices tend to favor polo shirts and mom jeans. Not to mention awkwardly dancing on "Ellen." We have to agree, that is pretty darned white!

The absolute crusher? Rock reminds us that for much of his life, Barack was known as Barry, which is "the third whitest name on Earth."

Game, set and match!

Looking extra-suave in a burgundy tuxedo jacket, a mustachioed Ferrell says he'll cook you "a home-cooked meal" ("I hope you like angel hair pasta!"), give you a tattoo, or treat you to a private showing of his signature choreography.

"That was just a taste," the comedian says after giving viewers a sampling of his fly dance moves. "If you want the full buffet, you're going to have to vote."

Vice President Joe Biden.

Vice President Joe Biden stopped by "Late Show With David Letterman" Thursday night and extended his well wishes to the New York-based host and his East Coast viewers in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. Biden soon moved on to another serious subject, but he did so without the serious tone.

With the official Election Day just days away, Biden urged American's to consider voting early -- by delivering Letterman's "Top 10 Good Things About Early Voting" list.

Highlights of the veep's rundown included these gems:

10. "I'm not saying each early voter gets a free cheeseburger, but I'm not saying they don't, either."

6. "If you vote early, you don't have to pay taxes. ... I'm sorry. I'm being told that's not accurate."

5. "Single and looking to mingle? Find that special someone on the early voting line."

2. "Early voters will receive a $5 million donation from Donald Trump."

And topping the list? At No. 1, "Honestly Don't you want this election over with already?"

He's got a point.

Or voters can just follow Letterman's advice: "Vote whenever you want," he said. "It makes no damn difference."

Swing on over

Over on "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart may be living in a region devastated by a major storm, but he hasn’t lost his sense of perspective.

“I’m still so thankful to be in soggy, powerless New York, because in some places in this country it’s even worse,” he said on Thursday’s “Daily Show.” “Hurricane Sandy has devastated our region, but at least we don’t live in Swing State Hell!”

That would be Ohio, which both candidates seem to have selected as their line in the sand and have saturated with even more political advertising than the rest of us living in competitive states get.

“While the rest of us are free to pursue work, family and recreation, voters in Ohio have to reconcile themselves to being this year’s ‘my precious,’ Stewart said.

Among the ads is one from the Romney folks that claim Obama has actually been a bad steward of the auto industry, including -- gasp -- selling Chrysler to Italians!

“Sold Chrysler to Italians? What, we’re afraid of Italians now?’” Stewart said. He then quoted a mock attack ad line: “‘If Obama wins, next the Pope will be telling you what to drive.’”

Even the car companies have pushed back, which takes the commercial to a whole new level. “How out there is Mitt Romney? A car company -- that tries to convince you you need undercoating -- is coming after him for dishonesty,” Stewart said.

Stewart’s guest was Bob Woodruff, promoting his “Stand Up for Heroes” fundraiser, scheduled for Nov. 8. It’s an organization that helps soldiers adjust to civilian life once they get back home.

“It always strikes me, this idea that you need charities to help bring soldiers home from war,” Stewart said. “There is never any ‘Let’s raise money to bomb Iran!’ Somehow we’ve always got money for that.”

Woorduff noted that Stewart has helped out often in the past, and volunteered him to be an even bigger help this year.

“He is a big supporter, so he is going to buy you a generator to watch this if you don’t have power,” Woodruff said.

That’ll lead to record ratings on the East Coast, for sure.

The horror!

On the "Colbert Report," Stephen Colbert reported that the storm hit home for him. Because of the restrictions on driving into the city, Colbert said he had to commute to the city by … brace yourselves … the bus!

“A public bus … with the public in it! I felt like Viggo Mortensen in ‘The Road,’ he said.

Why was there still water in the subways, he wondered. “Throw a few ShamWows down there! We have the technology”

And good news for Mormons, as Colbert noted that evangelist Billy Graham deleted his website’s references to Mormonism being a cult after meeting with Romney. “With God, all things are deletable,” Colbert quipped

“The biggest reason Mormons are no longer a 'cult' is that now a Mormon might beat Obama," he added. "And that is great news for other (so-called) cults. All you have to do to be reclassified as a legitimate religion by Billy Graham is be a viable Republican candidate for president.” But the news wasn’t as good for everyone, based on that standard.

“Sorry Ron Paul fans -- you’re still a cult,” he said.

Comedy Central

Stephen Colbert.

After cancelling Monday and Tuesday’s shows because of Superstorm Sandy’s devastating effect on New York and New Jersey, both Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert returned to the Comedy Central airwaves Wednesday night.

“You ever have one of those days where everything you ever loved as a child was under water?” Stewart said as he opened “The Daily Show.” That, sadly, is a problem that many on the East Coast are now familiar with.

Meanwhile,  on "Colbert Report," Colbert opened more seriously than usual, asking his viewers to visit redcross.org to donate what is most needed. “Spoiler Alert: It’s Money,” he said.

Christie takes center stage

New Jersey governor Chris Christie was a focal point of both shows, for both his handling of the crisis and his willingness to praise President Barack Obama for his assistance in bringing disaster relief to the area.

As an example, Stewart showed a clip from Fox News asking Christie if Mitt Romney might be coming to tour the damage with him; Christie’s expression of disdain was priceless.

“If you think right now that I give a damn about presidential politics, you don’t know me,” Christie said.

The response of Christie and Obama, along with New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, was inspiring to Stewart. “It’s amazing how once you remove political partisanship and gamesmanship, performance improves dramatically!”

Colbert showed similar footage, although he objected to the praise of the president. “Oh, come on! You’re praising Obama just because he declared New Jersey a disaster area?” Colbert said. “Johnny Carson did that for 30 years!”

And the footage of Obama and Christie touring the damage together? Well, that was too much for Colbert to take. “Barack Obama stole Mitt Romney’s date to Disaster Prom!”

It all fed into the post-storm narrative that saw some turn quickly from footage of the damage to questions about Mother Nature’s October Surprise’s potential effect on the voting.

 “Yes, all across the country people were frantically texting their loved ones: ’Your father and I are so worried, have you seen the latest tracking polls of undecided suburban women in Ohio?’” Colbert said.

Government comes through

You have to feel for Romney, whose proposal to reduce or eliminate the government’s role in disaster relief and leave it up to the states or the private sector seems like it would be a harder sell today than it did a few weeks ago.

“Who better to respond to what’s going on inside its own borders than a state whose entire infrastructure has just been swept out to sea?” Colbert noted.

As for the private sector … well, then you’re relying on folks like Donald Trump, with his offer of a $5 million check for charity if Obama releases his college and passport application info by Halloween. Though, as Colbert noted, “That heartwarming act of extortion got lost in the tragedy of the storm.” But fear not, the offer was extended another day.

“He’s doing the right thing and extending that $5M offer until noon on Thursday,” Colbert said. “You hear that Mr. President, you can breathe easy! Donald Trump has given you an extra 19 hours to deal with the largest Atlantic Hurricane on record affecting millions of Americans … and then photocopy your college record.”

As the waters recede

Jimmy Kimmel also got his "Live" program -- still temporarily based in Brooklyn -- going full speed again on Wednesday night, and he wasted no time getting to know the neighborhood. Kimmel paid a visit to Levels Barbershop in the borough to quiz the customers and barbers about a very important topic: Mitt Romney.  

"What do you think Mitt Romney could do to get more of the black vote?" asked Kimmel.  

"He can drop out of the race," noted one barber.

Brad Pitt is proving, once again, he's more than just a pretty face. It was announced on Wednesday that the actor has agreed to donate $100,000 to the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization, on behalf of the group's marriage equality efforts.

Pitt has agreed to match contributions from HRC members and supporters up to $100,000 in order to direct resources to the marriage campaigns entering their final week in several states.

Why Brad Pitt's Chanel No. 5 commercials are crazy genius

"It's unbelievable to me that people's lives and relationships are literally being voted on in a matter of days," Pitt wrote in an email sent to HRC members and posted on the HRC website. "In Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington, voters will go to the polls to decide if gay and lesbian couples -- our friends and neighbors -- are worthy of the same protections as everyone else. But that's the system we have and I'm not going to back down from the fight of loving and committed couples to have the ability to marry."

This isn't the first time Pitt has lent his support to marriage equality. He also gave a similar contribution to the unsuccessful effort to defeat California's Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage, in 2008.

Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney sings "America the Beautiful" with Meat Loaf.

It's official! Meat Loaf has thrown his support behind Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in a big way. And lest anyone think the rocker isn't passionate about his endorsement, his performance at a Thursday rally in Defiance, Ohio, sure proves otherwise.

The singer joined country music stars Randy Owens, John Rich (who knows Meat Loaf well from their "The Celebrity Apprentice" days) and Big Kenny, as well as the presidential hopeful, for a particularly rousing rendition of "America the Beautiful."

The performance started off pretty standard, with Owens and Rich serenading the crowd in the traditional, if a bit staid, patriotic style. But soon Meat Loaf, who's not exactly known for holding back, decided to show his fellow singers and Romney, how it's done.

Channeling his trademark "Bat Out of Hell" enthusiasm (though most definitely not his "Bat Out of Hell" vocal stylings), Meat Loaf shouted out "Aaah! Go ahead now brother!" to Owens, before going ahead himself.

That's when the Grammy-winner's heartfelt wails began and continued straight through to the end of the number, despite looks of surprise, amusement and possibly concern from those who shared the spotlight with him.

First Lady Michelle Obama reveals how the president encourages their kids to at least pretend to pay attention at big events.

Ask any teens about their parents' jobs and you're bound to get some shrugged shoulders and thoroughly disinterested looks. And it doesn't seem to matter what line of work you're in. Evidently even the position of commander-in-chief isn't enough to hold a typical teen's attention.

On Thursday night, First Lady Michelle Obama visited "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and admitted that daughters Sasha and Malia sometime require a little pushing to make sure they at least fake interest in Dad's leader-of-the-free-world gig.

"They're great kids," she told Kimmel. "I mean, we are so blessed, and they have been so poised and gracious through these ups and downs that this life offers them."

But that doesn't mean they don't get bored.

"Well, they're still teenagers, so you know, they don't have a poker face," Obama added.

But every so often, when it's really important, the president does his best to keep them interested -- of at least keep them looking interested.

"The one thing he cares about is, 'Just look like you're listening to me.' That was his instruction before he gave his speech at the DNC," she recalled. "We’re backstage, and they’re playing around, and they’re laughing, and they’re giggling, and he said, ‘Just act like you’re listening to me!’”

Music to vote to

Over on “The Daily Show,” host Jon Stewart was interested in both presidential candidates and how they related to songs from current reality TV show judges. “Barack Obama is saying to the electorate ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time,’ while Mitt Romney is perhaps saying 'I’m a Genie in a Bottle, Baby,'" quipped Stewart.

If only the candidates actually did sing those songs at political stops rather than giving the same old stump speeches, the campaign coverage on the news would be a lot more fun to watch.

But instead, both Stewart and Stephen Colbert on "The Colbert Report" focused more on political arguments, with each having high-profile guest on their shows on Thursday.

Stewart interviewed House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. She had some good zingers, but wasn’t interested in a comedy routine with Stewart as much as she was focused on getting her message out.

Pelosi took Stewart’s point that the odds are against Democrats taking the House, but said “That’s what they say, but that’s why we have elections. It’s not determined by the pundits, but by the people.”

She also portrayed this election as a stark choice between political philosophies, particularly on issues like abortion and the future of social security and medicare. “It’s about shared values. It’s not about having a job, it’s about doing a job for the American people,” she said.

Colbert interviewed outgoing Indiana governor Mitch Daniels, a Republican who like Colbert himself has a book to promote: “Keeping the Republic: Saving America by Trusting Americans.”

“Do I have to trust all Americans? Because it’s my understanding that 47% of Americans are parasites,” Colbert asked.

Daniels tried to avoid taking the political bait, as the point of the book is that politicians need to trust people enough to let them make their own choices. “A lot of politicians on both sides think don’t think that American can handle the truth,” Daniels said, although he regrettably did not use that line to channel Jack Nicholson’s character in “A Few Good Men.”

Colbert also pointed out that many candidates write a book as a prelude to seeking higher office. That’s something Daniels decided not to do. But Colbert told him it wasn’t too late.

“There are still 12 days left. That’s longer than the entire Tim Pawlenty campaign,” he said.

More on Mourdock

Both Stewart and Colbert mined some additional comedy out of Indiana Senatorial candidate Richard Mourdock’s comments on rape and abortion.

Stewart pointed out that Romney still endorses the Republican candidate. “Not often do you hear someone say ‘I disagree on your views about rape and incest but … not a dealbreaker,’” he said.

Such an endorsement was not given by Daniels, the outgoing Republican governor of Indiana. He said that when he agreed to become President of Purdue University once his term ends in January 2013, he also agreed to become “a political noncombatant” and stay out of that line of punditry.
