Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the political face of the recent government shutdown, will make his first late night TV appearance on Nov. 8 when he guests on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”
Cruz’s appearance reflects the increasingly common trend of political figures, no matter how controversial, venturing into late night, often in hopes of softening their image or reaching audiences normally not tuned in to politics. Cruz is mentioned as a possible candidate in 2016, and his appearance would be in line with other past candidates who have appeared in late night in advance of a run. In 2010, Mitt Romney appeared on “Late Show with David Letterman” as he promoted his pre-campaign tome, “No Apology.”
In a press release, NBC said that Cruz will discuss the government shutdown, the debt ceiling, Washington gridlock and the state of the Republican party.
Not a shiny coin in the bunch.
Trolls always give themselves away, they cannot help it.
lol....I started to watch it until I realized it was a future date (Nov. 8) that Cruz was scheduled for.
Set your DVR. This will be worth watching. Of all the late night talk program hosts, Jay Leno is the one that will behave the most respectfully towards Cruz. Leno's generally quite civil, and tends to be a bit to the right of moderate, unlike the rest of his ilk who are mostly raging Marxists.
This is Ted's maiden voyage on late night TV, and a crystal clear indicator of his 2016 intentions.
I’m not a troll, the guy is just a little goofy looking.
He’s my senator, I voted for him, and I will vote for him again, but just like most politicians, the more I see them, the more faults I see.
My comment isn’t about his politics, it’s about his looks.
I hope he is prepared for the ambushThe L.A. Chapter will have his back. :)
