JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2011

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS?  CUBAN LEADER FIDEL CASTRO MADE A RARE TV APPEARANCE YESTERDAY.  HE SAID EVERYONE KEEPS REPORTING THAT HE'S DEAD, BUT HE'S ACTUALLY ALIVE AND WELL.   HE SAID HE WENT ON TV, BASICALLY TO PROVE HE'S STILL ALIVE.  PRETTY MUCH THE SAME REASON PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS ON TV LAST NIGHT.  "I'M STILL HERE!  I’VE GOT YOUR JOBS!"

IN HIS SPEECH PRESIDENT OBAMA CALLED THE PLAN THE “AMERICAN JOBS ACT.” WHICH SOUNDS A LOT BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL TITLE, “THE SAVE MY ASS ACT.”

DID YOU SEE ALL THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES LINED UP AT THE REAGAN LIBRARY THE OTHER NIGHT?  DIDN’T THEY LOOK LIKE IT WAS PART OF DISNEY'S "HALL OF NEVER-WILL-BE-PRESIDENTS."

MICHELE BACHMANN SAID THAT IF SHE BECOMES PRESIDENT SHE WOULD CONSIDER DOING AWAY WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.  BUT SEE THAT’S KIND OF A SELF SERVING THING FOR HER, BECAUSE IF THERE WAS NO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, IT WOULD MAKE IT A LOT EASIER FOR HER TO GET ELECTED.

RICK PERRY WAS ASKED ABOUT THE WEALTH DISPARITY BETWEEN BLACK AND WHITE HOUSEHOLDS.  HE SAID HE COULDN’T COMMENT ON IT BECAUSE HE HADN’T SEEN "THE HELP" YET.   SO I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF THAT…

WELL WE HAD FOOTBALL LAST NIGHT, NOW WE'VE GOT FOOTBALL ALL WEEKEND. SEE, WOMEN, THIS IS PAYBACK FOR MAKING US SIT THROUGH "DANCING WITH THE STARS."  THIS IS OUR “DANCING WITH THE STARS.”

KATE GOSSELIN IS WORRIED THAT NOW HER SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELED SHE MAY HAVE TO GO BACK TO GETTING A REAL JOB.  SO BASICALLY SHE WILL HAVE TO GO FROM A REALITY SHOW TO REALITY.  THAT’S A VERY TOUGH TRANSITION.

ACCORDING TO "IN TOUCH" MAGAZINE, JESSICA SIMPSON IS SO UPSET WITH HER WEIGHT GAIN, SHE'S THINKING OF HAVING BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY TO MAKE HERSELF LOOK SMALLER.  SEE, THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN RIGHT THERE, A GUY WOULD SAY, “IF YOU MAKE YOUR BREASTS BIGGER THEN YOUR STOMACH WOULD LOOK SMALLER.”
