Palin on "The Tonight Show"

I think you could say Palin had the audience in palm of her hand as she opened "The Tonight Show" for Jay Leno.  Palin took to the stage and tried her hand as a stand up comic.  This is featured in the clip but here are the highlights:

Hello. Thank you, Jay. Thank you.  I'm  so happy to get to be here.  This is a thrill of a lifetime really. And Alaska, being so different from Los Angeles. Here when people have a frozen look on their face, I find out it's Botox.  (Laughter.)

It is so beautiful here, though, so warm and beautiful. Back home, ooh, it was freezing. It was 5 degrees belowCongress' approval rating.....

Shaun White on the show. Oh, what an amazing athlete. I watched him do a double McTwist 1260, and the only other people to do a double McTwist 1260 was last week: the White House on healthcare.

Palin and Leno discussed more serious topics as well.  Palin commented on the media's treatment of her family, her controversial decision to campaign for John McCain and the tea party movement.  Palin made a stop, while in Los Angeles, to the set of "American Idol," though she didn't appear on camera.
