JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS  TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 2011

CONGRATULATIONS TO UCONN; THEY BEAT BUTLER 53 TO 41, TO WIN THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP.  53 TO 41?  WHAT HAPPENED TO BUTLER?  I THINK SNOOKI PUT UP A BETTER FIGHT AT WRESTLEMANIA.

I TELL YOU, THERE WERE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR GAMBLING THIS WEEKEND – YOU COULD GAMBLE ON BASKETBALL, GAMBLE ON BASEBALL, GAMBLE ON FLYING SOUTHWEST AIRLINES…

AS I’M SURE YOU KNOW; A SOUTHWEST FLIGHT FROM SACRAMENTO TO PHOENIX HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY LANDING

WHEN A HOLE TORE OPEN ON THE TOP OF THE PLANE.  NOBODY WAS INJURED.  THE PILOTS DID A FANTASTIC JOB MAKING AN EMERGENCY LANDING.  THEY WERE SO CALM, AND THEY LANDED SO SMOOTHLY, IT DID NOT EVEN WAKEUP THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER WHO WAS IN THE TOWER.     

OTHER AIRLINE NEWS; AUTHORITIES IN THE COUNTRY OF MALI, WHICH IS IN WEST AFRICA, HAVE ARRESTED FOUR PEOPLE AFTER AN AIRCRAFT LOADED WITH 10 TONS OF COCAINE CRASHED.  A PLANE WITH TEN TONS OF COCAINE CRASHED THERE.  TODAY CHARLIE SHEEN CALLED IT THE WORSE AIR DISASTER IN HUMAN HISTORY.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS?  WHILE COVERING THE WAR IN LIBYA, GERALDO WAS SHOT AT BY MOAMMAR KADAFI FORCES. SEE YOU NEVER HEAR ABOUT THE GOOD THINGS KADAFI DOES, IT’S ONLY THE BAD THINGS.

EUROPEAN RESEARCHERS BELIEVE A GENE CALLED FTO CAUSES OBESITY IN CHILDREN.  THAT'S THE NAME OF THE GENE, FTO. OTHER GENES THAT CAUSE OBESITY: KFC, TGIF, A&W..  THESE ARE ALL RELATED.

WELL IT’S SPRING IN L.A. EXCEPT AT “DANCING WITH THE STARS” WHERE IT’S FALL.

LAST NIGHT ON “DANCING WITH THE STARS” KIRSTIE ALLEY AND HER PARTNER FELL AFTER HE GOT A CHARLEY HORSE. BUT THEY GOT RIGHT BACK UP AND GOT HIGH MARKS.  WHICH IS GOOD BECAUSE WITHOUT KIRSTIE THE SHOW IS "DANCING WITH WHO THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE."
