During his Tuesday-night monologue, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno host Jay Leno invited all legitimate candidates running for governor of California to be a part of the audience Sept. 22.
"If you’re running, if you’re a legitimate candidate, all 200, we have 300 seats, we’ll let everybody in. And Gary Coleman, don’t worry, we will have a booster seat," Leno said.
NBC plans to extend formal invitations to all candidates who are still declaring in the next few days.
Arnold Schwarzenegger told Leno on The Tonight Show last week that he would run for governor, boosting the show’s ratings to its highest levels since Today’s Katie Couric swapped places with Leno during May sweeps. Schwarzenegger has become the front-runner in the recall election, which will take place Oct. 7.
