On the Leno show last night, Ellen DeGeneres told Jay about her house being struck by lightning and shows off her ability to do push-ups.

Trainer from NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” Bob Harper talks about recent weight loss success stories from the show and unveils for the first time that he once posed in Playboy with Jenny McCarthy. Cobra Starship performed.

Harper on being in Playboy with McCarthy:

“Jenny McCarthy, she got me to do something that I cannot believe and I have never told this story before. I am telling a story that I have never told before. I have actually posed in Playboy magazine…Here I am with Jenny McCarthy in nothing but my boxer shorts…She’s like I am standing here with everything hanging out and you can’t just take your boxers off and I am like Nope.” 

JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2011

ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY OUT OF NOTRE DAME DISAGREEABLE MEN EARN 18% MORE THAN AGREEABLE MEN.  IN FACT, DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU END UP IF YOU TRY TO GET ALONG WITH EVERYONE—PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

OVER THE WEEKEND, THREATENING MESSAGES WERE POSTED ON THE WHITE HOUSE'S FACEBOOK PAGE: THE SECRET SERVICE TAKES THESE THREATS VERY SERIOUSLY AND THEY ARE WARNING WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE RUNS THE RISK OF BEING UNFRIENDED.

IN FACT, AS A PRECAUTION, ALL THE WHITE HOUSE'S FARMVILLE ANIMALS HAVE ALL BEEN TAKEN AWAY AND PUT INTO A SECURE LOCATION.

THERE WAS ANOTHER REPUBLICAN DEBATE LAST NIGHT ON CNN:  THE BIG WINNER?  MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL ON ESPN.

I DON’T KNOW WHO TOOK MORE HITS LAST NIGHT.  THE DOLPHINS, THE PATRIOTS, OR RICK PERRY.

A 290 POUND MAN IN NEW YORK CITY IS SUING WHITE CASTLE HAMBURGERS…YOU KNOW THE WHITE CASTLE HAMBURGER CHAIN…HE IS SUING THE RESTAURANT CHAIN BECAUSE THEIR BOOTHS ARE TOO SMALL FOR HIM.  HE’S SUING?  I HAVE A BETTER IDEA.  HOW ABOUT A HUNGER STRIKE?  TRY THAT.  KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE.

TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY POUNDS AND HE IS SUING CAUSE THE BOOTHS ARE TOO SMALL.  LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING PAL; THAT DRIVE-THRU IS TOO SMALL.  OK.  THERE’S A PROBLEM HERE.

HERE’S A SHOCKING STORY; A NORTH TEXAS DAYCARE OWNER IS ACCUSED OF DRUGGING KIDS WITH ANTIHISTAMINES IN THEIR MILK TO MAKE THEM SLEEPY.  IMAGINE THAT?  AUTHORITIES BECAME SUSPICIOUS WHEN THEY NOTICED THAT IT WAS THE ONLY DAYCARE CENTER WHERE NAPTIME WENT FROM 9 AM TO 4 PM.

OF COURSE WHEN PARENTS FOUND OUT THEY WERE FURIOUS.  THEY SAID, "WHY DIDN’T YOU SHARE THIS WITH US?  YOU GOT ANYMORE?"

I MENTIONED THIS LAST NIGHT: A FORMER OFFICER AT THE PHILADELPHIA MINT HAS PLEAD GUILTY TO STEALING $2.4 MILLION IN COINS.  HE'S BEEN RELEASED ON $50,000 BOND.  YOU KNOW HE’S GUILTY; HE PAID THE WHOLE THING IN NICKELS.

MCDONALD'S IS PLANNING TO OPEN 700 NEW RESTAURANTS IN CHINA BY 2013:  WHICH MEANS CHINESE CHILDREN WILL SOON BE ABLE TO GET HAPPY MEALS WITH TOYS THEY MADE THEMSELVES!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS IDEA?  THIS IS REAL.  THERE’S NOW A SMART PHONE APP THAT CONNECTS PEOPLE WHO NEED TO USE THE BATHROOM WITH STRANGERS WHO WILL LET THEM USE THE BATHROOM IN THEIR HOME.  YOU THOUGHT MATCH.COM WAS A BAD WAY TO MEET NEW PEOPLE.  PEOPLE SHOWING UP AT YOUR HOUSE.

OUR GOOD FRIEND MARC ANTHONY CAME OUT WITH A NEW LINE OF CLOTHES.  HE HAD TO GET NEW CLOTHES BECAUSE HIS OLD CLOTHES ARE ON FIRE IN THE DRIVEWAY.  SO HE HAD TO COME UP WITH A WHOLE NEW LINE OF CLOTHES.

ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE SAYS HE HAS NO DESIRE TO BECOME A SERIOUS ACTOR.  DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?  HE COULD BE THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA.
