Obama was the punch line of 288 monologue jokes by Jay Leno, David Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, Craig Ferguson, and Jimmy Kimmel during the first half of 2012, according to a new study.
Second place: Embattled New York City mayoral candidate and celebrity texter Anthony Weiner, subject of 120 jokes. (Weiner is likely to close the gap the longer he stays in the race.)

The analysis was done by the Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University in Virginia.
During the 2012 election, error-prone Republican candidate Mitt Romney topped the late-night joke survey, the target of twice as many jokes as the incumbent President Obama.
Now, with Republican politicians more in the background, Obama is front and center during late-night monologues.
