>>> show." if it's friday it's time for "club ed." with " daily show " co-creator lizz winstead . lizz, great to have you with us tonight.

>> hey, ed.

>> larry king -- larry king said good-bye last night and it was his last show on " larry king live ." one of the visitors to the program was president clinton and here's how it came down. here it is.

>> we're both in the zipper club. by the way, you look very good last weekend in the briefing room and by the way the suits wanted me to remind you of what the zipper club is, if you have had open heart surgery they had to zip it up. i thought that everyone in the world but apparently.

>> bill, looked confused.

>> i'm sure that you did.

>> ryan do you have any question for the president?

>> i'm glad clarified that.

>> well, lizz, what do you think of that one? what were they talking about.

>> clearly open- heart surgery . i mean, larry king does not disappoint. every thyme he's on he was the gift that keeps on giving. i'm so sad that he's going away. i just -- he always just knows how to say something and poor bill clinton was just sitting there like, yeah, the zipper club. and the thought of larry king being in any kind of zipper club makes me never want to have sex again, quite frankly. i can't -- i don't want to -- no. no, no, no.

>> all right, as a country now, are we going to be a lot safer now that congresswoman michele bachmann is going to be on the house intelligence committee ?

>> well, you know it's funny, ed, because you were talking about the dome and the no drinking at the game on sunday. and the reason that there is no liquor at the game is because they took a vote and minnesotaons said that we need to save our alcoholic consumption. we'd rather drink while michele bachmann is on the intelligence committee and forfeit drinking at the game because the reality is just that stark.

>> speaking of the dome, they're not going to be playing at the dome. they've got to go over and play at the university of minnesota stadium. what about? man, look at this, kind of a freaky deal, isn't it?

>> it's so crazy. being in minnesota you can't even believe it, ed, all of the stuff that's gone on down since i've been here and this massive collapse at the dome i don't know if you know this or not the minneapolis city council is thinking of renaming it because of the collapse and the cave-in. they want to rename it the obama dome.

>> oh, okay. and what about sarah palin , she says that the gop is impotent and weak, what do you think?

>> well, you know what, i think i finally agree with sarah palin . because you know when i look at john mccain and i look at jon kyl and i look at boehner, and i see them getting absolutely nothing done. i am convinced that just permeates another rest of their lives. and i would not be surprised to find out that each day, these gentlemen woke up, they woke up with morning wouldn't. that's what i think, ed.
