Did Jay Leno go rogue in picking Sarah Palin as Tonight Show guest?

Sarah Palin will not only help to re-launch Jay Leno’s second stint as The Tonight Show host but will serve as an example for other conservatives and those leaders in the Tea Party Patriot movement that late night can be a welcome home for its supporters and viewers.

There are of course the naysayers on the left coast who believe that Jay Leno’s booking of Sarah Palin on The Tonight Show in such a high visibility slot only gives credence and support for a possible positioning of a run for the presidency in 2012 as well as a confirmation, of sorts, of the array of traditional values that she and conservatives hold dear.

Yet what is startling for some is the possibility that again, Sarah Palin is showing that it is...

From hollywoodinsider.ew.com:

...One thing’s for certain: he and his staff won’t return to The Tonight Show’s old sound stage on the Burbank lot, much less take over the fancy new digs that were built for Conan O’Brien in Universal City.

Instead, Leno will tape Tonight from the set of his short-lived primetime show, also in Burbank, though the look of the place is sure to change...

And, from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBC_Studios:

...The Jay Leno Show continued to broadcast from the NBC Burbank studios as Leno's Tonight Show had, though moving from studio 3 to 11.

Upon resuming the Tonight Show on March 1, 2010, Leno will remain in studio 11.^[3]

You Betcha!… Palin Campaigns For Rick Perry– Writes “Hi Mom” On Her Hand! (Pics)

RIGHT ON— On Sunday the left went bonkers after they discovered that the TelePrompter-less former Governor Sarah Palin wrote notes on the palm of her left hand for her speech to the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville.

The far left absolutely freaked over this non-issue rather than focus on her brilliant speech knocking the Obama Administration’s horrid record on economics and national defense.

Today Sarah fired back…

She wrote “Hi Mom!”

-- snip --

Of course, the far left is not amused.

Give this round to Sarah Palin...

I wonder what Governor Palin will have written on her hand for her appearance on the "Tonight Show." ;)

I wonder what Jay Leno will have written on HIS hand.

And, I wonder what all of the members of the studio audience should have written on THEIR hands, courtesy of a few FReepers with magic markers, sprinkled throughout the line waiting to get inside...

I guess "FUBO" would not be appropriate for a "family" show like this.

Perhaps we should keep it SIMPLE:
