JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE MONDAY, JULY 16, 2012

AS YOU KNOW, STEVEN TYLER IS LEAVING, AND NOW JENNIFER LOPEZ ANNOUNCED THAT SHE'S LEAVING “AMERICAN IDOL.”  SHE SAYS SHE WANTS TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH HER FAMILY.  AS YOU KNOW SHE HAS TWO YOUNG ONES TO TAKE CARE OF.  WELL, THREE IF YOU COUNT HER NEW BOYFRIEND.  SO THAT’S THREE YOUNG ONES.  THAT’S A LOT OF WORK.

REMEMBER DISGRACED CONGRESSMAN ANTHONY WEINER?  REMEMBER HIM, THE PETER TWEETER?  REMEMBER THAT GUY?  ACCORDING TO TODAY’S NEW YORK POST HE’S THINKING ABOUT RUNNING FOR MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY.  NOT THE BEST CAMPAIGN SLOGAN, “TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT WEINER.”  THAT’S A BAD WAY TO GO.

PRESIDENT OBAMA SAID TODAY THAT HIS CAMPAIGN IS STILL ABOUT HOPE. WHICH MAKES SENSE; BECAUSE EVERYTHING PEOPLE HOPED FOR FOUR YEARS AGO, THEY'RE STILL HOPING FOR RIGHT NOW.  SO WE’VE GONE FROM "HOPE AND CHANGE" TO "NO CHANGE, JUST KEEP HOPING.”  JUST KEEP HOPING.

IT’S GETTING NASTY OUT THERE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL; MITT ROMNEY SAID HE WILL REFUSE TO RELEASE MORE THAN TWO YEARS OF TAX RETURNS.  HE’S ONLY RELEASING TWO YEARS OF TAX RETURNS.  THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN IS KEEPING UP THE PRESSURE; TODAY THEY RELEASED OVER TEN YEARS OF BIRTH CERTIFICATES…

LINDSAY LOHAN'S DAD, MICHAEL LOHAN, IS NOW EXPECTING A BABY WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND, KATE MAJOR. HE SAID HE'S THRILLED AT THE IDEA OF BECOMING AN AWFUL FATHER AGAIN.  THE WHOLE THING STARTS ALL OVER…

WE HAVE CHARLIE SHEEN ON THE SHOW TONIGHT; DID YOU SEE WHAT CHARLIE DID TODAY?  HE DID SOMETHING REALLY GREAT - - HE DONATED $1 MILLION TO THE U.S.O.  IT IS THE LARGEST SINGLE CONTRIBUTION THE USO HAS EVER RECEIVED FROM AN INDIVIDUAL.  OF COURSE, OUT OF FORCE OF HABIT, BEING CHARLIE IT WAS ALL IN $1 BILLS.
