JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 2011

AS YOU KNOW, EARLIER TODAY KATE MIDDLETON AND PRINCE WILLIAM OFFICIALLY CHANGED THEIR STATUS ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE.

IN FACT, DO YOU KNOW WHAT KATE MIDDLETON SAID TO PRINCE WILLIAM JUST A FEW HOURS AGO?  KING ME.  THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID, “KING ME!”

YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVED?  DID YOU SEE THIS?  KATE INVITED HER FORMER BOYFRIEND TO THE WEDDING. OH COME ON, WHAT WOMAN MARRY A PRINCE WOULDN’T WANT TO DO THAT, HUH?  “OH BOB, THIS IS MY NEW HUSBAND.  HE’S NOT AN ASSISTANT MANAGER AT APPLEBEE’S, HE’S THE FUTURE KING OF ENGLAND!”

YOU KNOW WHY WE’RE SO FASCINATED BY ROYAL WEDDINGS, BECAUSE THERE’S NO MONARCHY HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.  THE CLOSEST WE COULD EVER GET TO A ROYAL WEDDING WOULD BE IF LARRY KING MARRIED QUEEN LATIFAH.  THAT WOULD BE A ROYAL…

HERE’S SOME INSIDE STUFF.  ACCORDING TO THE "NEW YORK POST" PRINCE WILLIAM AND KATE MIDDLETON'S PET NAMES FOR EACH OTHER ARE "BABYKINS" AND "BIG WILLY". HERE’S THE CREEPY PART; PRINCE WILLIAM IS NOT “BIG WILLY.”

MORE EMBARRASSING NEWS TODAY FOR DONALD TRUMP; TURNS OUT THAT THE RACCOON KILLED TO MAKE DONALD’S HAIR, WAS BORN IN KENYA.

MANY AMERICANS SAY THEY'RE DISAPPOINTED THAT THE MEDIA IS PAYING SO MUCH ATTENTION TO THE RIDICULOUS STATEMENTS BEING MADE BY DONALD TRUMP.   PEOPLE SAY THEY'RE UPSET BECAUSE OF THE MEDIA'S OBSESSION WITH DONALD TRUMP HAS LITERALLY PUSHED SNOOKI AND CHARLIE SHEEN RIGHT OFF THE FRONT PAGE.  WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

CONGRATULATIONS TO AUBURN QUARTERBACK CAM NEWTON; FIRST PICK IN THE NFL DRAFT.  YOU KNOW BEING FIRST PICK MEANS THAT HE COULD MAKE ALMOST AS MUCH MONEY AS HE DID IN COLLEGE.
