JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE  MONDAY, MARCH 22, 2010

A LOT OF COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE ON SPRING BREAK RIGHT NOW. THE KANSAS BASKETBALL TEAM, THE GEORGETOWN BASKETBALL TEAM, THE VILLANOVA…THEIR ON SPRING BREAK. 

A LOT OF UPSETS OVER THE WEEKEND.  KANSAS LOST TO NORTHERN IOWA, GEORGETOWN LOST TO OHIO, AND THE REPUBLICANS LOST TO THE DEMOCRATS.

HEALTH CARE REFORM WAS PASSED BY THE HOUSE LAST NIGHT.   SUPPORTERS OF THE BILL SAY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NOW WILL GET THE SAME HEALTH BENEFITS THAT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS GET.  WHICH IS GREAT.  SEE, IF WE COULD JUST GET SOME OF THOSE OTHER PERKS.  THE FREE TRAVEL, THE ENVELOPES WITH THE CASH IN THEM, GET-OUT-OF-JAIL-FREE CARDS.  THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

DO YOU KNOW WHO IS GOING TO BE IN CHARGE OF HEALTH CARE?  THE IRS.  IT’S TRUE.  THE IRS WILL BE IN CHARGE OF ENFORCING THE NEW HEALTH CARE LAWS.  AND YOU THOUGHT YOU HATED GETTING AUDITED BY THE GOVERNMENT…WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR PROSTATE EXAM.

PRESIDENT OBAMA SAID LAST NIGHT THIS PROVES THIS IS A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE. EXCEPT THE 55% OF PEOPLE WHO OPPOSED IT.  BUT OTHER THAN THAT…

THE NICE THING IS, IF YOU LOSE YOUR JOB, YOU ARE STILL COVERED.  WHICH IS GREAT NEWS FOR DEMOCRATS IN NOVEMBER.

THE FAMOUS JEWELER TIFFANY & CO. ANNOUNCED THAT THEIR 4TH QUARTER PROFITS WERE QUADRUPLE WHAT THEY WERE LAST YEAR. EXPERTS SAY IT'S EITHER A SIGN THE ECONOMY IS IMPROVING, OR MORE GUYS ARE GETTING CAUGHT CHEATING.  THEY ARE NOT SURE WHICH.   THE TONIGHT SHOW:
