BURBANK - Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson is scheduled to be a guest on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" tomorrow, a day before officially declaring his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. Thompson's appearance -- he last appeared on the show June 12 -- will come on the same day as the eight announced Republican candidates debate in New Hampshire. The Thompson campaign announced last week that he would declare his candidacy Thursday, with a Webcast on his campaign's Web site, www.imwithfred.com, then conduct a five-day campaign tour through Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, all key early states...

Fred Thompson has been acting like he has all the time in the world to get his campaign going, with his aides and advisers saying they wanted to get a first-class organization humming before the “Law & Order” actor steps out for his close-up. One adviser, seeking to calm down an excitable reporter, even pointed out that “there will be two World Series” before the 2008 election. But in fact Thompson – who plans to travel the country with his family in a luxury bus emblazoned with the words “Security, Unity, Prosperity” -- is in a race against time that...

BURBANK, California, June 19, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) -  Last night on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno," comedian Robin Williams plugged his upcoming movie, "License to Wed." In the film, Williams plays a Protestant minister who forces an engaged couple to go through a grueling marriage preparatory course. But last night Williams went off on Catholic priests, painting them as pedophiles. Williams pretended to be playing a game where the pedophile is hidden under a cup, suggesting that this was an image of the Church's attitude towards dealing with "pedophile" priests. "Here we go. Find the priest, find the pedophile. Find...

Even while former senator and Law & Order actor Fred Thompson hasn't officially started his bid for the White House, his online presence would make you think that there isn't even a question. Thompson's website ( http://www.imwithfred.com ) is multifaceted, enabling users, for example, to find their local media to contact newspapers and talk radio to show support. Thompson launched a YouTube channel on May 15 featuring not clips from his popular TV show but videos of speeches and one from an appearance with Tim Russert on Meet the Press. His social networking presence is also growing, with more and...

"Law & Order" star Fred Thompson may be just testing the presidential waters, but his potential candidacy has already swamped John McCain and is threatening Rudy Giuliani, a poll says. The Los Angeles Times-Bloomberg survey found New York's ex-mayor holding on to the front-runner spot with 26% of Republicans liking him best, but Thompson grabs 21% and Arizona Sen. McCain gets 12%. "It's amazing," said Baruch College political scientist Doug Muzzio. "Here we have an undeclared candidate beating John McCain and [ex-Massachusetts Gov.] Mitt Romney, and within the margin of error of Giuliani." "It shows there's a hunger among Republicans...

Former Sen. Fred Thompson R-Tenn.,– the yet-to-be-announced 11th Republican contender — just finished taping “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” in Burbank, California. Unlike another actor/politician type, Thompson did not officially announce his candidacy, but he did acknowledge that the presidential waters are “warm.” Leno asked him, “Do you want the job of president of the United States,” and Thompson replied, “I want to do some things that only a president can do, so the answer is yes.” Thompson was Leno’s first guest — he held “The Tonight Show” spotlight for two segments, roughly 13 minutes. Thompson spent most...

The eco-joke is on Hollywood By Rex Murphy Toronto Globe and Mail Saturday, May 19, 2007 – Page A21 Jay Leno is not a global warming skeptic. The blandly humorous host of The Tonight Show is at one with the Hollywood ethos wherein no fashionable cause can fail to be embraced. Entertainers and those who feed most directly off them may not be climatologists, but they are wonderfully precise barometers of what is hip and trendy. Thus Vanity Fair magazine put out its "green issue" last month. Vanity Fair could offer reasonable competition to Vogue as being the slickest,...

NASHVILLE, TN Friday Feb.23.2007 /netmusiccountdown.com/ -- Rodney Atkins got the chance to defend country music last night on The Tonight Show when talk show host Bill Maher told Jay Leno "The only use I have for country music is to make fun of it." Atkins response? To have the last word by closing the nationally televised show with his multiple week Number One single "Watching You." "I take it as an honor to be the guy representing country music last night," says Atkins. "I was proud to sing a song about family values, my life and what this format is...

BURBANK, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger first announced his candidacy on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno." Might Barack Obama, who is considering a run for president, do the same? "This is a great place. Everybody who has announced here has been successful," Leno hinted to Obama, who appeared on Friday's show. "This is true, but I have to say that I've already committed to the Food Network to announce," Obama quipped before offering his standard answer to a question that follows him everywhere he goes. "I think that if I'm going to run, then I've got to dive in...

LOS ANGELES - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger distanced himself from President George W. Bush on national television yesterday, saying he was as far from his fellow Republican as he was from winning an Academy Award during his film career. "To link me to George Bush is like linking me to an Oscar," the former bodybuilder and Hollywood action star joked during an appearance on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." "That's ridiculous." It was Schwarzenegger's fifth guest spot on the late-night comedy show since he used a 2003 appearance on the program to announce his first campaign for public...

LOS ANGELES - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger traded quips with the host one moment and criticized U.S. foreign policy the next during an appearance Wednesday on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" that had the governor's opponents crying foul because his Democratic rival wasn't included. When asked by Leno about TV campaign ads attempting to link Schwarzenegger to President Bush, the star of the "Terminator" films mocked the notion. "To link me to George Bush is like linking me to an Oscar," said the governor, who has never won — or even been nominated for — acting's most prestigious award. On...

While his opponent pleaded with NBC affiliates to black out Arnold Schwarzenegger's appearance on "The Tonight Show" on Wednesday, the Republican incumbent ignored his Democratic challenger and exchanged quips with host Jay Leno instead. During Schwarzenegger's 15-minute appearance, the only reference to the combative California campaign came in Leno's questions. Neither mentioned Democratic candidate Phil Angelides by name. Leno did ask if Schwarzenegger thought the political ads that seek to tie him to President Bush were fair. "To link me to George Bush is like linking me to an Oscar," replied the former action star. "That's quite a leap," Leno...

"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" will feature Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday - just one month before the Nov. 7 election - but not his Democratic opponent, state Treasurer Phil Angelides. Angelides asked to appear on the show but had not received a response by Tuesday afternoon, said Steve Maviglio, a spokesman for Angelides' campaign. A "Tonight Show" spokeswoman confirmed the Republican governor's appearance but did not respond to repeated requests for comment. U.S. Rep Xavier Becerra, D-Los Angeles, filed a complaint on Angelides' behalf with the Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday that accuses the "Tonight Show" of violating...

On last Monday's (9/18/2006) Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jay weighed in on the Pope controversey. Some excerpts: A 110 degree day here in Los Angeles -- I'll tell ya, I was sweating like the Pope visiting Mecca, it was that hot out there... Statement from President Bush "I didn't even know the Pope was Jewish" Iraq has demanded that the pope issue a statement of apology for a statement he made linking Islam to violence.
