Mike Huckabee was the first guest on the return of Jay Leno tonight sans writers. Mike took a little flack for crossing the picket line to be on the show, but I don't think that will have much effect on most people. Both Huckabee and Jay Leno repeatedly have expressed their support for the writers (as do I) and Huckabee made the point in a news release that he only went on knowing that there were no "scabs" writing...all was done by Leno himself.
Anyway, on to the meat of the interview...classic Huckabee...he was very fluid, cool, collected and humorous. There was a video of him being interviewed by Leno 7 years and 110 pounds ago that got some laughs and an opening for Mike to talk about the health crisis in America. Mike also got a chance to simply explain the benefits of the Fair Tax, which got him a round of applause from the audience. And of course, he got to join the Tonight Show band and jam on the bass a little. All in all, I think that many people across the country probably got their first look at Mike Huckabee tonight, and got to see the best he has to offer.
