tonight show: Sarah Palin Tonight Show with Jay Leno
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.

According to Sources, women "are more likely than not to be in sexualized poses and not in action - and the most recent Vonn cover is no exception."

Harry Connick skit poking fun : Australia last week
Harry Connick Jr. says he did the right thing by expressing his outrage at a blackface skit poking fun at the Jackson Five in Australia last week.
"I'm pleased with the way I handled the situation," the 42-year-old American singer and actor told reporters Wednesday in Hong Kong, where he was promoting his new album "Your Songs."
Connick said he canceled an autograph session and interviews in Sydney after the show to let the controversy die down.
"It was very hot. It was a subject that was very, very controversial. So we just decided to take a couple of days off. I wasn't worried about physical harm," he said.
Blackface once was a part of minstrel shows in the United States, with whites playing stock black characters usually demeaning stereotypes after rubbing coal, grease or shoe polish on their faces.
