JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE  WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2010

BEING OCTOBER THE BIG HOLIDAY…HALLOWEEN.  HELLO.  OBVIOUSLY YOU’RE NOT VERY RELIGIOUS…IT’S HALLOWEEN.  THE BIG COSTUME?  EVERYBODY WANTS TO DRESS LIKE LADY GAGA.  THAT’S THE BIG…LADY GAGA. IN FACT, SALES OF PRIME RIB AND STEAKS ARE UP 30%.

IT’S GETTING VERY TESTY OUT THERE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.  FORMER VICE PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WALTER MONDALE HAS CRITICIZED PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR USING TELEPROMPTERS.  HE CALLED THEM IDIOT BOARDS.  OF COURSE, DEMOCRATS WERE STUNNED—THEY SAID, “WHAT, WALTER MONDALE WAS STILL ALIVE?”

BOB WOODWARD TOLD CNN YESTERDAY THAT AN OBAMAHILLARY TICKET IS ON THE TABLE FOR 2012. THOUGH SOME INSIDERS SAY THAT OBAMA DOESN'T FEEL HE NEEDS HILLARY ON THE TICKET.  AT THIS POINT I DON’T THINK HILLARY FEELS SHE NEEDS OBAMA ON THE TICKET.

I MENTIONED THIS THE OTHER NIGHT.  THERE WAS A STORY IN THE PAPER THAT SAID A PICTURE OF LINDSAY LOHAN IN REHAB WOULD SELL FOR $100,000.  WELL, TODAY POLICE ARRESTED A MAN WITH A CAMERA WHO TRIED TO FORCE HIS WAY INTO THAT REHAB FACILITY TO GET THE PICTURE.  THE MAN’S NAME? MICHAEL LOHAN.

THIS IS KIND OF FASCINATING.  LINGUISTS…THAT’S ACTUALLY A CLEAN WORK…LINGUISTS HAVE DISCOVERED A NEW LANGUAGE SPOKEN BY A REMOTE TRIBE IN INDIA THAT'S UNDERSTOOD BY ONLY 1,000 PEOPLE. I BELIEVE THE LANGUAGE IS CALLED "TECH SUPPORT."

THE FLINTSTONES TURNED 50 YEARS OLD THIS WEEK.  FLINTSTONES ARE 50 YEARS OLD, AND TODAY TEA PARTY CANDIDATE CHRISTINE O’DONNELL SAID, “SEE, MORE PROOF THAT THE EARTH IS ONLY 2000 YEARS OLD CAUSE THE FLINTSTONES ARE JUST 50…”.
