Thanks will Tivo it. Maybe Hill's media events could be stickied...hmmmm....???

[Rita Lyn]

This was buried deep within the forum, so I brought into the light. Go Hillary!

[SoCal4Hillary]

Thank goodness this got bumped! I had forgotten all about it, and I stopped watching Leno some time ago. I'll barely be home from seeing Hillary tonight in Beverly Hills when Leno airs, so thanks to seeing this thread I'll remember to DVR it. :)

what do you guys think would be better. HIllary talking about policies and issues, which shows her knowledge about politics in general or Hillary talking about personal stories to show more her human side and sense of humor.

[JJ4Hillary]

A regular on Letterman this campaign season, Hillary Clinton took a seat on the couch of his Los Angeles Late Night Rival — and took her share of good natured lumps.
In an intro at the top of the show, she did a sketch skewering her 3am phone call ad, fielding a call from Leno asking her to appear on the show before saying “we’ve GOT to get caller ID.”

And in the monologue, Leno mocked her recent Rocky Balboa infatuation, saying “We have the Italian stallion on the show tonight — Hillary Clinton, ladies and gentlemen.”

She even got in on the action herself — joking about that harrowing tale of landing under sniper fire that’s been a staple of late night comedians. Walking out to the theme from Rocky, Clinton told Leno she was worried she wouldn’t make the show — saying “I was pinned down by sniper fire.” Leno replied “In LA, that might be true.”

Asked about her daughter saying she would make a better president than her husband, Clinton joked that “she’s such a smart young woman.” And as for Bill Clinton’s infamous red-faced outbursts on the trail this year, Hillary acknowledged that she tries to rein him in. “I’ve told him OK, honey, it’s alright. We don’t have to go get excited about it,” she said. “But he does get a little carried away sometimes.”

She is too funny:D:D

[skc1976]

I hate watching Leno, but I'm going to make an exception tonight. It's worth it for Hillary. She can definitely use the boost!

[JJ4Hillary]

Commenter Bluesky at Taylor Marsh website went to Leno taping filed this report:

Just got back from the Jay Leno show taping. It was really cool, and actually very surreal. My friend and I stood in line for a few hours, and witnessed an Obamabot ask one of the security guards if he could ask the Senator a question. The guy said no questions, but kept pushing because he wanted to ask Senator Clinton about Monica Lewinsky. My friend and I shut him down immediately. We asked, "why would you want to ask this very respectful woman such a disgraceful question? She is for running president, and their is no place for this kind hatefulness." He backpedaled, and said it was his friend who texted him the question. Then he went on to say that he doesn't want Bill Clinton in the White House because, Bill has too many friends overseas. My friend and I looked at each other, and said Huh?

So we went into the theater, and the first thing that came to mind is it's way smaller than it appears. We were fourth row and center so great seats. Senator Clinton came out, and it was pretty amazing. The first segment she talked about the economy, and Jay had good questions for her. When they went to commercial, Jay and Hillary were talking intensely, and you could tell they were still talking about the economy. They were very engaged using their hand gestures a lot. The second segment she talked about the race, Fl and MI, superdelegates, and the convention. She hit a lot of points, and made her arguments. When she was talking about the superdelegates, Kevin Eubanks, and the woman percussion player were rolling their eyes, and shaking their heads which I found very sad. When Hillary walked off the stage she looked at them, and raised her thumb up, and they just stared blankly back at her. God what has happened in this race? There is so much hatred between people that used to be friends.

[hillary4change]

I am getting ready to watch it in 3 hours. I will watch and if I se what bluesky was talking about I will e-mail Leno and make mention. Does anyone have Jay Leno's E-mail address???

[davo_pa]

That's a real shame that this is what it has come to..the only reason why Eubanks and that woman(yeah I know who she is, she is the one who thinks she has any talent, singing during the commercial breaks) support Obama is because he is black..yeah what else could it be, his policy is the same as Hillary so it couldn't be what he is planning so it has to come down to race, it's a shame that they could not show the same respect for her that she had for them..Jay Leno is a loser, I never watch that show and the only reason why I will see it tonight is to see her. She will get a better reception on Ellen, because at least Ellen is respectful..Hillary had to degrade herself talking about Bosnia and making fun of herself to be on Leno's show..if that's what it took to go on his show I wouldn't have gone

[HillWill]

Yeah, I stopped watching leno when John Edwards was on Leno said to Edwards, making light of rev. wright, something like that rev wright is like a crazy old uncle. whatever.
I bet they won't show eubanks and the lady shaking their heads. bluesky got to see 'cause he was in the audience.

[CGP]

Go Hillary!!

Knock that ball from the basket!!

[HillWill]

Go Hillary!!

Knock that ball from the basket!!
:D:D:D:D

[no_more_bush]

F*CK Eubanks and the wannabe singer, they will be out of their jobs when Conan replaces Leno next year.:D

[Jayling]

Go Hillary!!

Knock that ball from the basket!!
That was hilarious!

[JJ4Hillary]

Haha, obama even lost on the basketball court.:D:D

[mjoynaples]

They really couldn't figure out these colloquialisms yet they are deciding that Obama (according to the stats) will be president of the USA oh pleeeeze... I am concerned that Hillay has to bring up the sniperfire comment again yikes... hope she does great and KEEPS STAYING IN IT TO WIN IT...

[lynfreedom]

Central time she is coming on jay leno's show now

[Area504]

Rocky! :D

[davo_pa]

LOL... she got pinned by sniper fire in LA. That was awesome ROFL. :D

[CGP]

Go Hillary!!!!

She is always so positive - how does she do it??

I'd be on the station bitching and moaning!!!

[Bacio83]

She's awesome I love how she made fun of herself with the sniper fire comment. Once a candidate does that it's very hard to continue to use it against them because it becomes a moot point. Cause now you're not pointing your finger shaming you're pointing your finger while they're laughing. I love that she did that and I'd love for her to do it again maybe at the Philly debate that would kick butt.

She's great, getting her points across.... I can't believe I'm dvring this and watching it.... late night.

[JJ4Hillary]

She is so smart.:p:p I love how she speak on education and economy.:):)

[no_more_bush]

She's good.. I really liked the lines about devaluing middle class work and that we CAN be a much better country, she should use ideas like these in commercials.

[Area504]

They really couldn't figure out these colloquialisms yet they are deciding that Obama (according to the stats) will be president of the USA oh pleeeeze...

OMG, wasn't that something? I had the same thought!!

[CGP]

Hillary V Obama

A "no-brainer" !!!

[CGP]

JL feels a little bit Obamish with some of his questions - what do you think?

Guess it doesn't matter. He still had Hillary on the show...

[HillWill]

jay is an ass. he got talking points from obama on mi and florida issue

[david m]

i'm another one of those people who stopped watching leno but with hillary on, that's a whole new ballgame. as usual ask her a question and she answers without the obama stutter. i just hope lots of people saw the show.

[Patricia GA]

The audience applauded for the votes in Michigan and Florida to count. Remember that!

[lakerchick4life]

Leno is a Republican..adores John McCain but bashes Bush..and as far as those kids they interview on the "Jaywalk" yeah they are morons..and when they have the Jaywalk All stars contest on his show they can't even answer the dimpliest questions like he will show a picture of Al Gore and they will have NO clue who that is..and then I realized..OMG these are the people voting for Obama..NO WONDER

[no_more_bush]

Leno IS for Obama(as far as Hillary vs Obama goes). O'Reilley on Leno: http://www.redlasso.com/ClipPlayer.aspx?id=f1701172-a8eb-4381-beba-8e49bb821f3e

[HillWill]

when leno said that since the mi contest was not going to count on reason why obama took his name off, i wish she had reminded jay that obama kept his name on fl ballot. other than that, SHE as USUAL is AWESOME. love her.

[Patricia GA]

Hillary got some good points in on education and jobs. I thought it went well and the audience welcomed her real well. I always enjoy seeing her speak. Looking forward to Ellen on Monday! Ellen is so funny...love her timing...she is natural. I'm sure it will be fun.

[lakerchick4life]

So(For people that attended the taping) how was the crowd, were they pro Hillary or Pro Fool..were they happy to see her, chanting her name, etc..remember, she did win this state..thanks to me and everyone else who voted for her :D:D

[Charlie Brown]

Go Hillary!!

Knock that ball from the basket!!

Yah!!!!she sure did...She did great!

[Dendy]

JL feels a little bit Obamish with some of his questions - what do you think?

Totally!
Or maybe he’s just a republican.
I love her!

[davo_pa]

Leno is def in the tank for BO. Look at that video above and you'll see O'Reilly bashing BO and Leno jumping in to defend him saying that his professional, that he stands above the fray, blah blah... who cares :p.

GO HILLARY!

[AlexG]

Hillary was fantastically brilliant.... She is getting better at it too. Too bad there weren't much time for chanting..... WHOOOO!!!! YEAHH!!!!! Because we want to hear what she has to say. Everything was correctly stated, calm, and intelligent.

[DrLisa]

Its just now coming on here in Colorado. The beginning was great.

[skc1976]

Well, I actually watched Leno for the first time in years. Clinton has a way of inspiring me to watch shows I wouldn't watch normally.

All in all, I have to say that she's still amazing. I thought her demeanor was great. I thought her answers were on point. And she looked really good. Definitely a positive interview for her and one that she needs right now. She seems to have been "hiding" lately where Obama has been so visible. Of course, that's mostly the media.

Her sniper comment was great and really something that was much needed. If she can laugh about a mistake, that's a good thing. I also thought that she kept her cool very well in regards to Bill and MI/FL. And her comments about Chelsea were great.

I'm glad that Leno is in the tank for Obama. She needs tougher questions because she has the ability to answer them. Obama, as we all know, doesn't have that ability. Let him interrogate her, she'll only come out stronger in the end.

As usual, she motivated me and I thought she did great. It was a much needed boost!

[Hoosier]

I thought she was great. I especially liked what she said about "devaluing" blue collar jobs. Of course we already know MSM will be critical of her but I bet alot of what she was saying will resonate with voters.

[ImmaSlave4U]

Leno is a hell of a lot funnier than Letterman...so I'll be wathcing Hillary on Leno in an hour here on the West Coast!

[B positive]

I was soooo impressed with her! How does she do it ?

I was actually glad Jay asked the MI & FL question because he said it in a way that reflected what non-political junkies have been told to think! Hillary had the priceless opportunity to address it head on by saying that 2 other states had moved up their election dates and were not penalized... this was a good point... all the other points she made were just spot on !!!

She does so well in this type of format... I thought she was just great tonight!!!

[Annie]

I watched it on tv (by the way Jay Leno repeats tomorrow evening around 10 pm). Hillary was great - she came in and said she was almost late as she was dodging sniper fire..... The audience and Jay Leno all laughed - it was great. She looked super and she was funny and intelligent and she and Jay got on like a house on fire. He asked good questions and she answered them well. He asked just about everything re super delegates etc. And she said they all have one vote just like everyone else when he asked. She said it is an exciting race - the democrats have brought in more people than ever before and that is exciting for her - for the two of them. She was positive but mentioned the Michigan did agree to revote and not paid at taxpayers expence, but Obama turned it down. They are still waiting to see what the DNC does for Florida and Michigan now but they do have to be represented at the convention and she also brought up that two other states (or was it three,can't remember) had moved up their election also. So the DNC have to sort it out and she is sure it will all work out. Very positive and very nice. Jay seemed very pleased with her and shook her hand and said he admired her toughness. I am looking forward to seeing her on Ellen DeGeneres on Monday next now....That should be fun - wonder if she will do a dance with Ellen.

There was a comic came on next - can't remember his name - was in Ratatouille and a definite Hillary supporter. Very funny. I have yet to see the film but friends tell me it's great.

p.s. I am just wondering one of those states was Ohio - right? Now that was the big win for Obama right? So.....what would that mean if it lost its delegates also?????? Anybody know...?

[ImmaSlave4U]

p.s. I am just wondering one of those states was Ohio - right? Now that was the big win for Obama right? So.....what would that mean if it lost its delegates also?????? Anybody know...?

No, Ohio was a big win for Hillary, not Barack.

[Annie]

No, Ohio was a big win for Hillary, not Barack.


Yes of course - I misspoke.... ouch! Was it Illinois? I thought it was an Obama winning state that was moved up as well as Florida and Michigan....

There has to be a reason for them changing to seating the delegates... New Hampshire was one also but there were three altogether - or am I wrong again?

[ImmaSlave4U]

^ I believe you're referring to South Carolina!

[foreigner4hillary]

What basketball?!

Here is a video of Hillary on Leno. Post some positive comments as Obama's supporters are at it again

By BETH FOUHY

BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton made fun of herself Thursday, telling "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno she almost didn't make it to his studio.

"It is so great to be here, I was so worried I wasn't going to make it. I was pinned down by sniper fire," Clinton said after joining him onstage, referring to her claims — since disputed — that she dodged sniper bullets while arriving in Bosnia as first lady. Clinton later said she had "misspoke."

As she entered, Leno's band played the "Rocky" theme, jumping off her statement this week that she is the underdog in the Democratic nominating contest against Barack Obama, just like the fictitious boxer was against his opponent in the Oscar-winning movie.

[joeysky18]

She's so great.! Wonderful performance.

[hillary4change]

I missed it and I can't find the second half of the video. It said above that the second half was imbedded in the tray below. I couldn't find it!! :confused:

[SD]

foreigner4hillary, leno showed a clip/cartoon kind of thing showing obama toss a free throw and hillary leaped up under the net and knocked the ball away :D.

i think she was great. when she joked about the sniper fire, it shuts down the people who seem intent on making that such a big issue against her. :)

i was delighted that the audience applauded and i was so proud of her!

[hills]

Here is part 2

[skc1976]

I forgot to say that I also like how she pointed out that Obama pulled his name off in Michigan. Good for her!
