JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE MONDAY, MARCH 18, 2013

I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A NICE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.  I THOUGHT THIS WAS GREAT; TO CELEBRATE ST. PATRICK’S DAY CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES HAD ALL THEIR TOILETS OVERFLOWING WITH GREEN WATER.  DID YOU SEE THAT?  BEAUTIFUL…VERY FESTIVE.

YOU KNOW THE WHOLE LEGEND OF ST. PATRICK, RIGHT?  ST. PATRICK DROVE ALL THE SNAKES OUT OF IRELAND - AND THEN THEY CAME TO THE UNITED STATES AND BECAME NBC EXECUTIVES.  IT’S A FASCINATING STORY.

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING TO THE SOUND OF HELICOPTERS AND POLICE SIRENS; WHICH, OF COURSE, IN L.A. CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING: LINDSAY LOHAN'S BACK TO COURT AGAIN!  YES!

MICHELLE OBAMA IS GOING TO APPEAR ON THE COVER OF THE APRIL ISSUE OF VOGUE MAGAZINE.  ALSO, LOOK FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA NEXT MONTH ON THE COVER OF THE ECONOMIST MAGAZINE.  IT'S THEIR ANNUAL APRIL FOOLS ISSUE.

MORGAN FREEMAN IS ON THE SHOW TONIGHT; WE LOVE MORGAN FREEMAN.  I SAW HIS NEW MOVIE; IT’S A REAL THRILLER.  “OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN” IS THE NAME OF THE MOVIE.  THE PRESIDENT IS KIDNAPPED AND THE WHITE HOUSE IS OVERRUN BY NORTH KOREAN TERRORISTS.  I DON'T WANT TO GIVE AWAY THE DETAILS, BUT IN THE END DENNIS RODMAN IS THE HERO.  THAT’S ALL I CAN TELL YOU.

TACO BELL ANNOUNCED THAT THEIR NEW DORITOS LOCOS TACOS CREATED 15,000 NEW JOBS. ALMOST ALL OF THEM FOR PLUMBERS. 

VERY ODD STORY; POLICE IN PEMBROKESHIRE WALES ARRESTED A 23 YEAR OLD COUPLE FOR HAVING SEX IN A BANK.  IN THE BANK THEY WERE HAVING SEX.  TYPICAL BANK SEX: THERE WAS A DEPOSIT, A WITHDRAW, AND THEN A LOSS OF INTEREST.  THAT’S PRETTY MUCH WHAT HAPPENED.
