For the President’s Day holiday, the CBS late-night shows went historical, with Craig Ferguson using most of his monologue talking about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Late Show host David Letterman used the occasion to dress a man like Lincoln and harass New York pedestrians for the Top Ten List.

Barack Obama spend President’s Day vacationing in Florida, which included some golf with Tiger Woods. The Tonight Show's Jay Leno took the occasion to get shots in at Woods, while Letterman showed how Obama used his presidential power to affect his short game.

Fast forward to 3:05 to watch how Obama sunk a putt on the course.
