Prez Obama to Appear on “Tonight Show” on Thursday

According to the NYT, President Barack Obama will be a guest on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” this Thursday.

We’re guessing this will be like the Clinton/Obama debate at the Kodak Theatre last year, where everyone who was anyone suddenly cared about the democratic process and was on the phone to their publicists to get them tickets. No joke, there were around 250 media outlets at that debate. Not a presidential debate, mind you, a party debate. Just one side of the ticket filled the entire theater and ‘sold out’ the filing room.

Was it the draw of Obama? Clinton? Or just LA drunk on buzz as usual?

Seriously, if you can get us tickets to “The Tonight Show” on Thursday – email us.
