Tonight (July 15) Bryan Cranston spoke to Jay Leno on why they didn't get Emmy nominations this year for his role in "Breaking Bad" on AMC.

Bryan Cranston explains why he was not nominated for an Emmy and Nancy Grace talks about the Casey Anthony verdict.  Shaggy performs.

Quotable from the Nancy Grace Interview

On the not guilty verdict -- "The jury was given most of the evidence -- enough evidence by far to convict.  I think that they did not understand the meaning of reasonable doubt, the standard of reasonable doubt.  They got back there and they've admitted they even thought that the grandfather may have committed the murder and there is no evidence of that what-so-ever.  So they were making up all these scenarios in there head. In fact the foreperson said he was sick and disgusted at the verdict.  I think that says it all!"

JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS FRIDAY, JULY 15, 2011

YOU MIGHT AS WELL GET COMFORTABLE, YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE TILL MONDAY.

THIS WEEKEND THE 405 TURNED INTO THE WTF.

THIS WEEKEND THE 405 FREEWAY IS GONNA BE CLOSED FOR 53 HOURS. 53 HOURS. KELSEY GRAMMER HAS MARRIAGES THAT DIDN’T LAST THAT LONG.

YOUR SUV JUST BECAME A STATIONARY UTILITY VEHICLE.

THEY’VE ALREADY CLOSED ALL THE ENTRANCE RAMPS.  SO NOW PEOPLE HAVE TO BUY ORANGES AT THE SUPERMARKET.  IT’S JUST HORRIBLE.

EVERYBODY IS REALLY UPSET ABOUT THE FREEWAY CLOSING, EXCEPT CAB DRIVERS BECAUSE NOW THEY HAVE TO TAKE THE LONG WAY TO THE AIRPORT.  “OH WE ARE SO SORRY…

IT’S INTERESTING HOW THEY REPAIR THE HIGHWAYS OUT HERE?  IT IS DIFFERENT FROM BACK EAST.  HERE THEY FILL THE POTHOLES WITH BOTOX AND THEN THEY COAT THE WHOLE THING WITH A BIG COAT OF BRONZER.  IT GIVES IT A NICE SHEEN…

THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO FINISH THE WORK BY MONDAY MORNING AT 6 A.M. IF THE WORK GOES OVER THE CONTRACTOR HAS TO PAY $1,OOO A MINUTE; A $1000 A MINUTE; THAT’S CHARLIE SHEEN TERRITORY.

FOR THIS WEEKEND ONLY, TO HELP EASE CONGESTION THEY ARE ASKING UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS TO SNEAK IN THE COUNTRY THROUGH ARIZONA.  JUST FOR THIS WEEKEND.

DID YOU SEE WHAT THE AIRLINES ARE DOING?  THIS IS REAL.  FOR FOUR BUCKS JETBLUE WILL FLY YOU FROM BURBANK TO LONG BEACH.  THE FLIGHT IS ONLY FOUR BUCKS.  THE BAD NEWS?  YOU HAVE TO MAKE CONNECTIONS IN CHICAGO, ATLANTA AND NEWARK…

IT WAS THIS WEEKEND IN 1969 THAT APOLLO 11 BLASTED OFF. THAT WAS THE FIRST MANNED MISSION TO THE MOON. PRETTY AMAZING; THAT SHOWS YOU HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED. IN 1969 WE WENT TO THE MOON. IT’S 2O11; WE CAN'T EVEN GET TO THE VALLEY.  HORRIBLE…

THERE IS NOW A MOVE TO DIVIDE CALIFORNIA INTO TWO STATES: THE STATE OF POVERTY, AND THE STATE OF BANKRUPTCY.

THIS IS THE REAL THING; THEY WANT TO MAKE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA A SEPARATE STATE. THE PROBLEM IS COMING UP WITH A SUITABLE NAME.  SEE APPARENTLY "NEW MEXICO" ALREADY TAKEN . . .

PRESIDENT OBAMA IS STARTING TO GET TOUGH.  HE SAID HE’S REACHED HIS LIMIT AND HE WILL NOT GIVE IN ON HIS DEBT CEILING POSITION EVEN IF IT COSTS HIM HIS PRESIDENCY. WELL, THAT SHOULD MAKE THE REPUBLICANS FOLD.  "WE'VE GOT TO SAVE OBAMA’S PRESIDENCY."

ACCORDING TO A NEW GALLOP POLL, IF THE ELECTION WERE HELD TOMORROW A NO NAME REPUBLICAN WOULD BEAT PRESIDENT OBAMA.  TODAY TIM PAWLENTY SAID, “A NO NAME REPUBLICAN, THAT’S ME.  I COULD WIN!  I’M THE NEW PRESIDENT?”

IN LAST NIGHT'S 50TH ANNUAL CONGRESSIONAL BASEBALL GAME THE DEMOCRATS BEAT THE REPUBLICANS 8-2. BOTH PARTIES SAY THESE GAMES ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT SHOWS THE AMERICA PEOPLE THAT THEY CAN REALLY GET ALONG AND ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING WHEN IT’S MEANINGLESS

A JUDGE HAS NOW DECLARED A MISTRIAL IN THE PERJURY CASE AGAINST ROGER CLEMENS. CLEMENS SAID HE FELT RELIEVED AT THE VERDICT. HE SAID IT’S JUST NICE TO FEEL SOMETHING BESIDE “ROID RAGE” FOR A CHANGE.

THE JUDGE DECLARED A MISTRIAL AFTER A JUROR ACCIDENTALLY SAW SOMETHING THEY WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO INDICATING THAT CLEMENS LIED ABOUT TAKING STEROIDS.  NORMALLY THAT WOULD BE CALLED "EVIDENCE."

AIR CANADA HAS BEEN FINED 12,000 DOLLARS BY A CANADIAN JUDGE FOR NOT TALKING TO A FRENCH-SPEAKING PASSENGER IN HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE DURING THE FLIGHT.  I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A CASE AGAINST THE CAR WASH ACROSS THE STREET HERE -- THEY HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO ME…
