President Barack Obama Visits 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno'

President Barack Obama visited The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, on Thursday night and likened his new job to competing on a reality show: "I do think in Washington, it's a little bit like American Idol. But everybody is Simon Cowell."

The appearance by the First Guest provided Jay Leno with what he called "the most exciting show of my life" – and fodder for jokes and banter. "A lot of people were surprised that the president came to NBC," said Leno. "You'd think by this time, he'd be tired of big companies on the brink of disaster."

He became the first President to appear on the late night circuit, while in office, and discussed everything from politics, economics, NCAA basketball, among other things. Check it out:
