JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 2011

CONGRATULATIONS TO AUBURN, THEY ARE THE NEW BCS COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS.  VERY EXCITING GAME; THEY BEAT OREGON 22 TO 19.   THEIR SLOGAN: “YES WE CAM.  YES WE CAM.”

WE HAVE THE WINNING QUARTERBACK ON, CAM NEWTON ON THE SHOW TONIGHT!  I LIKE THE NAME.  EVEN THE NAME "CAM NEWTON", DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE A COOL NEW PRODUCT FROM APPLE?  “I GOT THE CAM NEWTON 4G… IT'S AMAZING!”

HE MAY REVEAL HIS PLANS TONIGHT.  WE ARE NOT SURE, WE’LL FIND OUT.  HE MAY EITHER PLAY PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL OR GO TO THE CAROLINA PANTHERS.  MAYBE WE’LL FIND OUT TONIGHT.

HOW MANY WATCHED?  DID YOU WATCH THE GAME LAST NIGHT?  I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY PLAYED THE GAME ON A SCHOOL NIGHT.  I BET A LOT OF THOSE PLAYERS MISSED CLASS TODAY.

CHARLIE SHEEN DID IT AGAIN. CHARLIE SHEEN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT WORK THIS MORNING…HE’S STILL CELEBRATING NEW YEAR’S EVE APPARENTLY…HE WAS DRINKING IN LAS VEGAS AT THE PALMS HOTEL AND SPENT THE NIGHT WITH THREE PORN STARS.  DO YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS?  THINK ABOUT IT.  DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY DISEASES THESE PORN STARS COULD GET FROM CHARLIE? 

FORMER U.S. HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER TOM DELAY, ONCE CONSIDERED ONE OF THE NATIONS MOST POWERFUL AND FEARED LAW MAKERS WAS SENTENCED TO THREE YEARS IN PRISON, YESTERDAY. THE JUDGE SENTENCED HIM TO TWO YEARS FOR MONEY LAUNDERING AND TACKED ON AN EXTRA YEAR FOR HIS PERFORMANCE ON "DANCING WITH THE STARS."

DUE TO THE RECESSION THERE ARE NOW 15,000 LESS LAWYERS.  SEE, NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT THE GOOD THINGS THAT HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE RECESSION.  FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS.

THE U.N. REPORTS THIS YEAR THAT THE WORLD POPULATION WILL HIT $7 BILLION. AND STILL THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS CAN’T FIND ELEVEN GUYS WHO CAN TACKLE. WHY IS THAT?

TWO PENNSYLVANIA WOMEN ARE SUING A TANNING SALON CLAIMING THEY WERE SECRETLY TAPED WHILE TANNING NAKED AND THE PHOTOS WERE POSTED ON THE INTERNET. INVESTIGATORS SAY THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE AT A TANNING SALON. AND TODAY JOHN BOEHNER SAID, “IT COULD?”

AT THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW IN LAS VEGAS, LG HAS UNVEILED A LINE OF APPLIANCES THAT CAN TWEET OR TEXT YOU.  WOULD YOU WANT APPLIANCES THAT CAN TEXT YOU?  YOUR IN A BUSINESS MEETING, “EXCUSE ME, I HAVE TO TAKE THIS.  IT’S FROM MY CAN OPENER.”

THEY ARE SAYING IN A FEW MONTHS THEY WILL HAVE UPGRADES FOR THE IPHONE 4G.  LISTEN TO THIS; I’VE GOT ONE OF THESE.  THIS WILL GIVE YOUR PHONE THE ABILITY TO SEND AND RECEIVE TELEPHONE CALLS.
