[ applause ] did you all watch -- bizarre press conference with his wife? there was a strange guy in a a cubicle behind -- well, show it. here's the story. >> the mystery man positioned hi

and, yet, he chose "the tonight show" with jay leno. is this the right forum and the right platform to get his message across? >> you know, i think what the white house would say is when they're on something like "the tonight show" the president is able to get a very wide audience. but i also think some people will say, hey, is this really a serious forum and, also, just the fact that president obama if he's going to be questioned one-on-one by a journalist versus jay leno, the questions are going to be tougher. he's going to be pressed, i think, a little more on other things. i think the white house is looking for the reach here, but i think there is certainly some criticism that you can make of the fact that he's not really going to get tough questions and he sort of looks to this show. this is the sixth time that he's been on it. it is something that president obama has kind of sort of made a main stay of him for. not something sitting presidents did. this is what he considers to be a friendly forum. >> a friendly forum and, also, as

>> this is his sixth appearance on jay leno because it's going to be a softball interview, because jay leno is not up to speed. i love him, i love watching him, but he does not, he is not an expert on benghazi, he's not an expert on the terror threat, on relations with moscow, on any of the pressing issues that the white house press corps has been waiting to ask the president about and hasn't been permitted to do so. kelly: rush limbaugh said earlier this week that the president appearing on jay leno made the nation and the presidency look small. >> you know, other presidents have certainly done that, and and remember when vice president gore was talking about government reform, and he went on and broke an ashtray on one of the late night shows. this kind of thing is very, very common. it doesn't take away from the fact that mainstream media has been gone around, and the president has done a lot of media appearances w they've been -- but they've been local television people who are like in awe to be at the white house. kelly: well, you say -- i understand you're relating it to other pr

and now, jay leno! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jay: thank you very much! welcome to "the tonight show!" hi, guys. hi, everybody. hey, here's a big story. you probably heard about this. fast food workers

you can argue about being on jay leno. that's not the problem, the problem is he should be doing something about bigger issues like joblessness, which is a fact that he is not at all engaged in the fracking issue which would do a lot to reduce strife in the middle east, lower the four buck, five gallon buck of gas. not ragging on him for playing basketball. what a bunch of baby games. >> i push back a little, too. i don't have a problem with him playing golf on free time, but when you close 22 embassies, pull that many american diplomats off line. >> he hasn't come out in an official presidential press conference to talk about all of the scandals involving his administration, whether it is the irs, only reason he got asked about the irs and only reason he made a statement, he was holding a joint press conference with a world leader and had the question asked of him at the time. he hasn't discussed these things directly. his white house press secretary doesn't address them directly, refers them to another agency which then

jay's still number one in the ratings! i mean, jimmy fallon taking over for jay leno, that's like biden taking over for me. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: jay's been really great about this whole thing. >> well, of course he's been great. he's great at everything he does! [ laughter ] he's dominating the competition. winning all the key demos. and this is gonna sound weird, but it's almost like he's starting to look younger. [ laughter ] stronger, and dare i say it, sexier. >> jimmy: all right, all right. [ laughter ] all right. >> now, don't feel bad about yourself. you know, by the way, i love that little bit you did with the kids and the halloween candy. [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: that wasn't me. that was jimmy kimmel. [ laughter ] i did a bit where i danced with your wife. >> you danced with -- what'd you just say? [ laughter ] you did what? don't make me come over there and slap a fool. >> jimmy: no, no, it -- it was a sketch, mr. president, called "evolution of mom dancing." i'm sorry. >> oh. >> jimmy: yeah, anyway, listen
