Tonight Show Highlights
Here were my favorite monologue jokes from last night’s Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
William and Kate are the proud parents of an eight pound, six ounce baby boy. Experts say there’s a good chance this kid could be toilet trained before Justin Bieber.

The second half of the interview was a little bit more enjoyable:

A decent enough show. I give it:
