With the recent influx of fall programming, it's easy to lose track of the amusing moments that TV has to offer. Well, never fear. Our DVRs are working overtime, and we've collected the five funniest moments from the week gone by here. Witness a former President's awkward near-confession, a star's drunken encounter with paparazzi, and an actor's followup to a famously unhinged late-night appearance a year-and-a-half ago.

You've probably heard people say that being a mother is the most difficult job on the planet. You might have even heard Oprah Winfrey say it on her talk show. Bill Burr certainly did, and he took issue with the claim on his stand-up special, 'Bill Burr: Let It Go' (Sun. 11PM on COM). He made some rather compelling arguments.

"Being a mother is the most difficult job on the planet?," he asked. "Oh yeah, all those mothers that die every year from black lung from inhaling all that coal dust." But that wasn't the only dangerous profession he was poised to compare motherhood to.

Our favorite argument was in the way a mother can rid herself of her charges at any time. "Would you rather be up in the sunshine," he asked in comparison to drilling into the earth, "Running around with a couple of toddlers that you can send to bed anytime you want on some sort of trumped-up charges because you want to have a drink and watch 'The Price Is Right'?"

Tonight, Bill Burr will be the first stand-up comedian to do a performance spot on Conan O'Brien's Tonight Show. If you don't know him, you will soon be one of the few. Burr has been on a roll for the past few years, getting stronger and stronger and playing bigger and bigger venues, culminating in last year's special, Why do I Do This?, which premiered last August on Comedy Central and is now on CD and DVD.

I've seen Burr live for years, playing shows like Denis Leary's annual Comics Come Home in Boston and Opie and Anthony's Traveling Virus tour. I have never seen him fail (the closest I came was last year in Los Angeles in front of a mostly indifferent crowd, working really hard for every laugh - for some perspective, Dave Attell and a lot of other good comics bombed that night). He became infamous for a decidedly NSFW YouTube video showing him at an O&A show in Philadelphia, the only time I can think of that a single comedian took on a crowd of hecklers and won.
