JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 2013

ACCORDING TO A NEW SURVEY, 74% OF FEMALE COLLEGE STUDENTS SAY THEY USE DRINKING AS AN EXCUSE FOR WILD SEXUAL BEHAVIOR.  AND 100% OF COLLEGE MEN SAY THIS IS A PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE EXCUSE.  IT’S OK.

THE HIT MOVIE “SPRING BREAKERS” WENT WIDE TODAY.  THIS IS LIKE A CRAZY MOVIE.  IT’S AT THEATERS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY NOW.  HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS FILM?  IT FEATURES ROBBERY, ARRESTS, DRUG USE, ALCOHOL, ILLICIT SEX.  OR AS LINDSAY LOHAN CALLS THAT, GETTING READY FOR TRIAL.

DOCTORS IN CANADA WERE SHOCKED AFTER PULLING A 3-INCH KNIFE BLADE FROM THE BACK OF A 32-YEAR OLD MAN. THE KNIFE HAD BEEN IN THERE FOR THREE YEARS!  IMAGINE THAT, THE GUY HAD A KNIFE IN HIS BACK FOR THREE YEARS.  HE MUST HAVE WORKED AT NBC TOO.  I WAS STUNNED BY THAT.

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS ALLEGED FEUD THAT I’M HAVING WITH NBC?  I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE OK.  THIS IS REAL; I HAD DINNER LAST NIGHT WITH A BUNCH OF NBC EXECUTIVES.  TO MAKE IT UP TO ME, WHAT THEY DID, THEY ARE SENDING MY WIFE AND I ON AN ALL EXPENSES PAID CARNIVAL CRUISE.  HOW ABOUT THAT?  SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S GOING TO BE OK.  FANTASTIC!

ACCORDING TO A NEW SURVEY, THE AVERAGE MEMBER OF CONGRESS CAN ONLY SPEAK AT A 10TH GRADE LEVEL.  WHICH IS WORSE THAN IT SOUNDS, BECAUSE THE AVERAGE 10TH GRADER CAN ONLY SPEAK AT A 5TH GRADE LEVEL.

BIG, BIG NEWS, IKEA ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT THEY ARE GOING TO START SELLING MEATBALLS AGAIN AFTER THAT RECENT HORSEMEAT SCARE. THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE A NEW SUPPLY CHAIN CONTROLS IN PLACE THAT GOES "FROM FARM TO FORK."  THAT’S THE NEW SLOGAN, “FROM FARM TO FORK.”  WHICH IS BETTER THAN THE OLD SLOGAN, “FROM THE STABLE TO YOUR TABLE."  MUCH BETTER.

I THINK A LOT OF WOMAN KNOW ABOUT THIS STORY; THE YOGA INSPIRED ATHLETIC APPAREL COMPANY, LULULEMON…YOU KNOW THEM?  THEY ARE RECALLING THOUSANDS OF PAIRS OF BLACK YOGA PANTS BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO SHEER.  HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS?  THEY ARE SO SHEER YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH THEM.  IN FACT, THE COMPANY IS NOW BEING FORCED TO CHANGE THEIR NAME FROM "LULU" TO "HOO-HA."
