JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2011

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES; YESTERDAY EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT HOSNI MUBARAK SAID HE WOULD NOT LEAVE EGYPT UNTIL HE IS DEAD.  TODAY THE CROWD SAID “DEAL.”  SO HE LEFT.  HE’S OUT OF THERE.

WHEN THEY HEARD THAT A MUSLIM PRESIDENT HAD STEPPED DOWN, THE TEA PARTY SAID, “OBAMA’S LEAVING?”

YOU KNOW WHAT MADE MUBARAK THE ANGRIEST?  JUST THE FACT THAT PEOPLE WERE FORCING HIM TO RESIGN WHILE THE COACH OF THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS STILL HAS A JOB.  THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW!

WELL FOLKS, IT’S AWARD SEASON AND IT LOOKS LIKE “THE KING'S SPEECH” HAS EMERGED AS THE FAVORITE FOR THE BEST PICTURE OSCAR.  IN FACT, THE MOVIE IS SO SUCCESSFUL THEY'RE ALREADY WORKING ON A SEQUEL.  IN THE SEQUEL GEOFFREY RUSH OVERCOMES ALL ODDS TO TEACH CHRISTINA AGUILERA HOW TO SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.

SUNDAY NIGHT IS THE GRAMMYS.  CEE LO GREEN'S SONG "F.U."  IS UP FOR "BEST SONG" AND IT’S ALSO UP FOR "RECORD OF THE YEAR."  THAT’S THE NAME OF THE SONG, "F.U."  THE NICE THING IS, IF HE DOESN'T WIN, FOR HIS CONCESSION SPEECH, HE CAN JUST SING HIS SONG AT EVERYBODY.

THINGS ARE NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR LINDSAY.  IF FOUND GUILTY, SHE COULD FACE THREE YEARS IN STATE PRISON. HER ATTORNEY IS TRYING TO WORK OUT SOME KIND OF PLEA DEAL.  INSTEAD OF JAIL SHE’S HOPING SHE GO STRAIGHT TO DVD.  KILL THE MESSENGER…

THE JUDGE WAS PRETTY UPSET.  HE TOLD LINDSAY, "YOU'RE NO DIFFERENT THAN ANYONE ELSE."  HOW DOES THAT MAKE US FEEL?  WE’RE ALL A BUNCH OF DRUG-TAKING KLEPTOS.  I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING.

SOME SAD NEWS: THE POPULAR GAME "GUITAR HERO" IS NO MORE.  THE COMPANY THAT MAKES IT SAYS THEY'RE DISCONTINUING THE GAME.  SO FROM NOW ON, IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THE GUITAR YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE TO PICK UP A REAL GUITAR.

KEITH OLBERMANN HAS A NEW JOB -- WORKING FOR AL GORE'S CHANNEL,  CURRENT TV.   HE'LL BE AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER.  HIS JOB IS TO FIND ANYONE WHO IS WATCHING CURRENT TV.

I MENTIONED THIS THE OTHER NIGHT; PARIS HILTON IS FREAKING OUT ABOUT TURNING 3O. SHE IS JUST FREAKING OUT.  IN FACT SHE CALLED A FRIEND IN A PANIC AND SAID, "WHAT COMES AFTER 3O?"

JWOWW FROM “JERSEY SHORE” HAS A BOOK OUT.  IN THE BOOK SHE ADVISES THAT YOU NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT CONDOMS, YOUR CELL PHONE, CASH AND CHANGE OF PANTIES.  LET ME TELL YOU; IF YOU’RE TAKING ADVISE FROM JWOWW, DON’T LEAVE YOU HOME PERIOD.
