JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS FRIDAY, MARCH 4

2011 PRESIDENT CALDERON OF MEXICO WAS IN WASHINGTON THIS WEEK AND HE TOLD PRESIDENT OBAMA THE U.S. MUST DO MORE TO REDUCE THE DEMAND FOR DRUGS. PRESIDENT OBAMA TOLD HIM OUT RIGHT, “HEY WE GOT CHARLIE SHEEN OFF COKE, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT US TO DO? THAT’S HALF RIGHT THERE.

HOW’S THIS FOR A TURN AROUND? CHARLIE SHEEN IS BEING CALLED A HERO TODAY. I GUESS CHARLIE WAS AT THE ZOO, NOT TO SEE ALL THE ANIMALS, TO DONATE TIGER BLOOD. APPARENTLY, SIMBA NEEDED A TRANSFUSION AND CHARLIE HAD THE ONLY TIGER BLOOD AVAILABLE. I

N HIS DEFENSE, CHARLIE IS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER CELEBRITY IN LOS ANGELES? LIKE AT LAKERS GAMES, HE SITS COURTSIDE, OR AS THEY CALL THAT IN SHOW BUSINESS, THE NOSE BLEED SECTION.

A LOT OF NEWS WITH THE NFL - CARSON PALMER IS TELLING FRIENDS THAT HE'D RATHER RETIRE THAN PLAY QUARTERBACK FOR THE CINCINNATI BENGALS. TODAY BRETT FAVRE SAID "RETIRE OR PLAY QUARTERBACK? WHY CAN'T YOU DO BOTH?"

BIG LABOR DISPUTE IN THE NFL RIGHT NOW. IT’S GETTING UGLY. BOTH SIDES ARE TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS. THE PLAYERS UNION REALLY WANTS TO STRIKE A DEAL…BUT I TELL YOU, THEY ARE REALLY PLAYING HARDBALL WITH THE OWNERS. IN FACT, THEY EVEN HAD BEN ROETHLISBERGER CORNER THEM IN A BATHROOM STALL.

YOU KNOW HOW FRIGHTENING THAT IS. YOU TOO! IF THEY DON’T COME TO AN AGREEMENT THE WHOLE SEASON COULD BE LOST. THAT’S WHAT THEY SAID. NOBODY WANTS TO SEE A WORK STOPPAGE. WE SAW THAT LAST NIGHT WITH THE MIAMI HEAT. THE MIAMI HEAT BLEW A 24-POINT LEAD. THEY LOST TO THE ORLANDO MAGIC.

THEY'VE GONE FROM THE "DREAM TEAM" TO THE KEEP DREAMING TEAM.

ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW WHO ENJOYED THAT GAME LAST NIGHT? FANS IN CLEVELAND. KARMA.

HERE’S A STORY THAT HAS BEEN ALL OVER SPORTS RADIO. BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY, HAS A VERY STRICT HONOR CODE; ATHLETES AT THAT SCHOOL ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DRINK, SMOKE, HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS, OR EVEN CURSE. WELL, THEY HAVE KICKED THEIR STAR PLAYER, BRANDON DAVIES, OFF THE TEAM BECAUSE HE HAD PREMARITAL SEX WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND. HERE’S MY QUESTION: WOULD THAT BE A TESTICLE FOUL?

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL, MIKE HUCKABEE B.S., HAS NOW ATTACKING ACTRESS NATALIE PORTMAN FOR GETTING PREGNANT WITHOUT BEING MARRIED. OF COURSE THIS COULD MAKE THINGS A LITTLE AWKWARD WHEN HE RUNS INTO SARAH AND BRISTOL PALIN AT FOX.

DURING A RECENT SPEECH, TEXAS GOVERNOR RICK PERRY ACCIDENTALLY REFERRED TO THE MEXICAN CITY OF JUAREZ AS “THE MOST DANGEROUS CITY IN AMERICA.” IN HIS DEFENSE, HE PROBABLY JUST ASSUMED JUAREZ WAS AN AMERICAN CITY BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY MEXICANS LIVING THERE.

POLICE IN MORGANTON, NORTH CAROLINA DISCOVERED A METH LAB OPERATING OUT OF A CHILD’S DAYCARE CENTER. CAN YOU IMAGINE? A DAYCARE CENTER WITH A METH LAB? GOOD LUCK GETTING THOSE KIDS TO TAKE A NAP.

LISTEN TO THIS; WOMEN WHO DRINK ARE LESS LIKELY TO BE OBESE THAN WOMEN WHO DO NOT DRINK.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS LADIES? ALL THIS TIME YOU'VE BEEN ON JENNY CRAIG YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON JOHNNY WALKER.
