LAS VEGAS--Leader International is hoping that a pair of new Android tablets could change the fact that the company isn't exactly, well...a leader when it comes to slates.

We know it felt great to be free from all those censorship rules and regulations on a "licensed" broadcast station (they can't even say "goddamn") but, come on, think of the children. All jokes aside, it was a hilarious show, the guys "went there," and we all had a good laugh. Have a great weekend. See you on Monday, if we're not canceled...
