Rachel Maddow on Jay Leno (and they didn't talk about cars)

[DainBramaged]

VERY long, and full of detail and Jay gives her HUGE time on his show.


MSNBC's Rachel Maddow appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night, her first late night talk show since taking over the 9pmET hour and, as Leno said, "doubling the ratings."

Leno asks Maddow about her role as "commentator" which allows her to add "a little bias." "I think of it as a point of view," she said.

Leno took a shot at picking her political affiliation. "I would guess liberal, but the Sarah Palin glasses could throw me," he joked.

Maddow talked about her "It's Pat"-segment guest, Pat Buchanan. "Pat is smart and funny and a lot of his views are incredibly toxic and weird, but he's fun to talk to," she said.

4. She was the second guest.

Primary guests (in this case Mark Wahlberg) appear from 12:00am midnight to 12:17am.

Secondary guests (in this case Rachel Maddow) appear from 12:21am to 12:29am

3. That Was a Great Appearance

She is such a good front person for liberalism -- very smart, engaging, and disarming. (Although I don't know what she was think of with those glasses.)

But she is just so great I was surprised she dressed down for the appearance
