Jay Leno’s Tease Just A Tease – No Obama Interview (But Kanye Still There)
Jay Leno appeared last night on NBC’s Football Night in America broadcast to tease his premiere tonight, which you already know about unless you’ve been hiding in Osama bin Laden’s cave for the last three months.
“We also have an interview with President Barack Obama, we’re working on that, you might see that tomorrow night,” said Leno. The premiere tonight at 10pm will be huge – but it sounds like Leno was jumping the gun.
An NBC spokesperson tells Mediaite, “[Leno] was teasing a comedy bit.”
At the time, the Twitterverse started propagating the quote, including well-respected sources like NBC White House Correspondent Chuck Todd. That led other outlets, like The Washington Post to run with the story, assuming if Leno dropped the info last night it had to be true – which it’s not.
One person who will be appearing on the program – Kanye West. GossipCop confirms West will appear as scheduled tonight with Jay-Z and Rihanna to perform “Run This Town.” Will West address last night’s controversial asshole-ing? Probably not, unless he plans to grab the mic from Jerry Seinfeld during his stand-up act (on second thought, probably).
We assume the interview will look a lot like this (props to Leno on the push for some last minute premiere viewership):

Obama’s National Security Chief Of Staff Goes ‘Nucular’

After years of the cringe-worthy pronunciation of nu-cu-lar during the Bush White House, it seemed like we finally had an administration who had a litmus test in staffing their National Security detail - pronounce the word "nuclear." Not so. During an interview to discuss Iran's weapons program with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell today, National Security Chief of Staff Denis McDonough definitely uttered the term Nucular. Gotcha! Right-wing critics eager for payback? Go! Video after the jump.
