JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE HIGHLIGHTS FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 2012

HERE IS A VERY EXCITING SCIENTIFIC STORY; SCIENTISTS ANNOUNCED TODAY THEY HAVE DETECTED A BRAND-NEW SUBATOMIC PARTICLE.  THIS PARTICLE IS SO TINY IT IS ACTUALLY SMALLER THAN THE INCOME TAX RATE PAID BY MITT ROMNEY.  MINUSCULE…

MITT ROMNEY WON'T RELEASE HIS TAXES, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, TURNS OUT NEWT GINGRICH WROTE OFF TWO OF HIS MARRIAGES AS A TOTAL LOSS.

LAST NIGHT…ANYBODY WATCH THE DEBATES?  NEWT WAS PRETTY GOOD, I HAVE TO ADMIT.  HE LASHED OUT AND SAID THE ATTACKS FROM THE MEDIA MAKE IT HARDER TO ATTRACT DECENT PEOPLE TO RUN FOR OFFICE, AND HE'S RIGHT. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE PEOPLE LIKE NEWT GINGRICH RUNNING FOR OFFICE.

ACTUALLY, RICK PERRY PULLED OUT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE YESTERDAY.  WHICH IS BAD NEWS FOR THE GUYS ON DEATH ROW IN TEXAS.  HE’S COMING HOME AND HE’S NOT IN A GOOD MOOD.

YESTERDAY RICK PERRY ENDORSED NEWT GINGRICH, SAYING NEWT ISN'T PERFECT, BUT WHO IS.  TO WHICH DONALD TRUMP SAID, “I AM!”

PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS IN DISNEYWORLD YESTERDAY AND SOMEONE ASKED IF HE IS GOING TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH GRUMPY AND OBAMA SAID, "RON PAUL IS HERE?  WHERE IS HE?"

THE SAN FRANCISCO SUBWAY SYSTEM WAS SHUT DOWN YESTERDAY MORNING WHEN SOMEBODY, SOME IDIOT DROVE AN SUV INTO A SUBWAY TUNNEL.  BOY, THAT ITALIAN CRUISE SHIP CAPTAIN IS HAVING A BAD WEEK.  JUST THE WORST WEEK.

MORE AND MORE DETAILS ARE COMING OUT ABOUT THAT CRUISE SHIP DISASTER.   IT SEEMS THE CHEF ONBOARD THE SHIP SAYS THE CAPTAIN ORDERED DINNER -- AFTER THE CRASH.  DISHES WERE CRASHING ALL AROUND, THE PHONE RANG DURING THE CRASH AND IT WAS THE CAPTAIN ORDERING DINNER!   HERE'S THE WORST PART:  HE ORDERED IT TO GO.  THAT IS THE WORST PART.
