Sarah Palin And Jay Leno Bond Over Bad Press
Sarah Palin was a two-segment guest last night on The Tonight Show (and was involved in the cold open, displaying her own version of “cue cards”).
Dressed down in jeans, she made several key political points before trying her hand at stand-up for the first time ever. But she and Jay Leno also bonded over something they share.
Leno asked Palin about the way the media “tries to get a rise out of you, they sort of poke you to try to get you to react,” and what she’s learned about the bad press. “Jay you’ve gone through this too, especially in the last few months,” says Palin, while the crowd applauds. Then she drops this anecdote/advice for Leno: “A lie can travel halfway around the world before truth even has a chance to get its pants on in the morning.” (We’re not the gotcha media, but no Google results on that one.)
Right before her stand-up routine (she was like the right-of-center-Leno), the Tonight Show host asked her about her future career plans. “Do you think you’d ever give up politics to do a talk show?” asked Leno. Palin, tapping on Leno’s desk: “I hear every once in a while this comes open.”
Here’s the full two segments:
