JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE WEDNESDAY, JANUARY  9 , 2013

THE BASEBALL HALL OF VOTING RESULTS ARE IN, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1996, NOT ONE PLAYER WAS VOTED IN. ZERO! THEY TURNED DOWN ROGER CLEMENS, MARK MCGWIRE, SAMMY SOSA AND BARRY BONDS.  HERE’S HOW BAD IT WAS: LANCE ARMSTRONG GOT MORE VOTES THAN ANY OF THOSE GUYS.

THIS IS KIND OF EMBARRASSING; THE MAYOR OF LOS ANGELES, ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA WAS SEEN PARTYING IN MEXICO WITH CHARLIE SHEEN.  HERE’S THE PICTURE.  (DROP-IN: PICTURE OF CHARLIE SHEEN AND THE MAYOR)  I BELIEVE THAT CELEBRATION IS CALLED, “CINCO DE CAREER-O.”

THE MAYOR IS DENYING IT.  HE SAID HE ONLY SAW CHARLIE FOR A MINUTE, BUT CHARLIE SAID HE AND THE MAYOR HAD A WILD TIME IN MEXICO PARTYING WITH A NUMBER OF HOT WOMEN. WHO ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE—A PARTY BOY WHO HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING IN HIS LIFE OR CHARLIE SHEEN?  YOU HAVE TO DECIDE WHICH ONE…

LISTEN TO THIS; MORE CHARLIE SHEEN.  ACCORDING TO TMZ, CHARLIE SHEEN IS DATING ANOTHER PORN STAR, BUT THIS ONE HE IS SERIOUS ABOUT.  CHARLIE SAYS HE LIKES HER A LOT CAUSE SHE ONLY DOES GIRL-ON-GIRL PORN.  SEE, IN CHARLIE'S WORLD THAT’S CONSIDERED "WHOLESOME."  “SHE’S A NICE GIRL, SHE ONLY DOES…”

HERE IS A SHOCKING STATISTIC; YOU KNOW WHO ARE THE MOST FREQUENT BINGE DRINKERS?  SENIORS!  SENIORS ARE THE…  THAT’S RIGHT.  THAT EXPLAINS BRENT MUSBERGER’S COMMENTS ABOUT MISS ALABAMA.  OF COURSE!
