tonight show: Sarah Palin Tonight Show with Jay Leno
Labels:

Sarah Palin appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Tuesday, delivering a round of stand-up comedy while praising the Tea Party and Fox News Channel.The gaffe-prone former Republican vice presidential nominee appeared more than willing to poke fun at herself during her late-night debut on the legendary US program.
Leno asked Palin what she thinks about joining the media by becoming a Fox News analyst. Palin told Leno that she's there to build trust in the media. "I think that the mainstream media is quite broken and I think that there needs to be the fairness, the balance in there. That's why I joined Fox." Leno laughed.
Teased by Leno about a recent incident in which she was spotted looking at notes written on her palm during a speech in Nashville, Palin quipped that it was a "poor boy's version of the teleprompter."She then pledging to continue doing it, "just to get the Left wee-weed up and get their heads spinning."
But there was no call for notes when she took to the stage for a stint of stand-up comedy on the show - in a parody of Leno's famous opening monologues.
After Palin told Leno that her dream used to be to become a sportscaster, “to work with Howard Cosell” (man, would I love to have seen the late, great Cosell trade remarks in a sports booth), he invited her to do a little stand-up comedy.
I guess the idea was just to have some silly fun. There’s no point in saying her gags were bad (“I’m glad I didn’t become vice president — I wouldn’t know what to do with all that free time”) when doing corny jokes was the whole point.
