JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2010

WELL FOLKS, YOU CAN TELL THAT THANKSGIVING IS ALMOST HERE. IT’S IN THE AIR AND I WAS OVER AT BURBANK AIRPORT AND I SAW A TSA AGENT PROBING A GUY WITH A TURKEY BASTER.

HAVE YOU HEARD THE TSA’S NEW SLOGAN? “WE HANDLE MORE JUNK THAN E-BAY.” THAT’S THEIR NEW SLOGAN.

FINALLY THE TSA IS SAYING THEY THEY WILL ALLOW PILOTS TO PASS THROUGH SECURITY MORE EASILY THAN BEFORE. YOU SEE, I DON’T THINK IT’S NECESSARY TO PAST DOWN THE PILOTS AND HAVE THEM GO THROUGH THE BODY SCANNER. YOU KNOW, I’D JUST BE HAPPY IF THE PILOT WENT THRU THE BREATHALYZER. THAT’S ALL I CARE ABOUT. ANYTHING PAST THAT IS FINE WITH ME.

A LOT OF POLITICIANS ARE WEIGHING IN ON THIS… HILLARY CLINTON SAID ON SOME OF THE TALK SHOWS SHE TOLD BILL SCHIFFER ON CBS SHE WOULD NOT SUBMIT TO A PAT DOWN TO WHICH BILL CLINTON SAID, "TELL ME ABOUT IT.”

MICHELE OBAMA IS EXPECTED TO ANNOUNCE THIS WEEK A PLAN TO PUT 5,000 SALAD BARS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THEY EXPECT AS MANY AS 3 STUDENTS TO USE THEM.

YOU KNOW I WAS READING UP TODAY ON THE FIRST THANKSGIVING AND HOW HARSH THE CONDITIONS WERE FOR THE SETTLERS. IT WAS FREEZING COLD, THE FOOD WAS SCARCE, BUT THE GOOD NEWS WAS THEY KNEW THEIR RELATIVES WEREN’T COMING. THAT’S WHAT KEPT THEM GOING. AND THAT’S WHAT KEPT THEM ALIVE.

SCIENTISTS IN SWITZERLAND SAY FOR THE FIRST TIME, THEY'VE ISOLATED ATOMS OF ANTI-MATTER, WHICH COULD HELP SOLVE SOME OF THE BIGGEST MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE. IN OTHER WORDS, THIS COULD HELP EXPLAIN HOW BRISTOL PALIN IS STILL ON DANCING WITH THE STARS.

AND FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH HAS JUST PUBLISHED HIS MEMOIRS CALLED, “DECISION POINTS.” PRESIDENT BUSH WAS ASKED TODAY IF HE USED A GHOST WRITER AND BUSH SAID, “NAH, I STOPPED BELIEVING IN THOSE AFTER I TURNED 12.
