Tune in for tonight as smoking hot actor Liam Neeson takes the “Tonight Show” couch and talks about the Golden Globes and which celebrity has been the most drunk at an event he has attended.

Later, Neeson tells Jay about his boxing days in Northern Ireland and his new movie, “The Grey.”

MSNBC Correspondent Meghan McCain gives her take on the New Hampshire primary, including why she thinks Rick Perry is still in the race and why she called Rick Santorum a “moron”...this is after she says "adulating."  Le sigh.

 Jack’s Mannequin performs.

JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 2012

CONGRATULATIONS TO MITT ROMNEY!  HE WON THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY LAST NIGHT.  IT’S REALLY INSPIRATIONAL, ISN’T IT?  THIS IS PROOF THAT EVEN THE MULTIMILLIONAIRE SON OF A MULTIMILLIONAIRE CAN BEAT THE ODDS AND RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

NOT A GOOD SHOWING FOR GOVERNOR RICK PERRY.  RICK PERRY CAME IN DEAD LAST WITH 1% OF THE VOTE.  ONE PERCENT!  YOU KNOW, IT’S NOT GOOD WHEN YOU CAN’T EVEN BEAT LOW FAT MILK.  THAT’S 2% ISN’T IT?

BUT RICK PERRY WAS PHILOSOPHICAL ABOUT IT; HE SAID LAST WEEK IT WAS IOWA, YESTERDAY IT WAS NEW HAMPSHIRE, TOMORROW IS SOUTH CAROLINA…  HE SAID AT LEAST IT HAS GIVEN HIM A CHANCE TO LEARN ALL THE NAMES OF THE STATES.  HE’S GROWING…

DID YOU WATCH SATURDAY REPUBLICAN DEBATE?  JON HUNTSMAN SPOKE CHINESE.  HE SPOKE CHINESE.  HE WANTED TO APPEAL TO OUR MANUFACTURING BASE.  THAT’S WAY OFF BASE…

ACCORDING TO THE TABLOIDS, JOHN EDWARDS IS GOING TO MARRY HIS MISTRESS, REILLE HUNTER. WHICH MEANS NOW HE HAS TO FIND A NEW MISTRESS.  THE WHOLE THING START ALL OVER AGAIN.

THE GAY MAGAZINE “THE ADVOCATE” HAS PICKED THE GAYEST CITY IN AMERICA: SALT LAKE CITY.  THEY SAID SALT LAKE CITY IS THE GAYEST CITY IN AMERICA.  ISN’T THAT AMAZING?  I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE CITY WAS KNOWN FOR BEING MORMON.  NO, IT’S “MORE MEN.”  I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING.

SPEAKING OF THAT; WASHINGTON, D.C. IS NOW CONSIDERING LEGISLATION TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR SAME SEX COUPLES WHO GET MARRIED IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL TO GET DIVORCED.  LAWMAKERS SAY THAT GAY COUPLES SHOULD BE AFFORDED THE SAME RIGHTS AS A KARDASHIAN.
