Video - Barack Obama On Jay Leno's Tonight Show

Jay Leno welcomed Barack Obama to the Tonight Show Thursday night, and it was interesting.

The President sat down with Jay and talked about politics, the economy and adjusting to his new lifestyle.

Obama talked about "Life in the bubble", with secret service not letting him walk anywhere, and following close behind with a defibulator. We also got to see Kevin Eubanks wearing a suit for the first time in history.

Barack mentioned being president is a lot like being on American Idol, where everybody is a Simon Cowell.

One hot topic was the AIG bonuses, and The President said he was "stunned" when the insurance giant moved forward with the bonus payouts. He actually did a pretty good job of explaining the whole AIG mess.

Jay also brought up the million-dollar question, "Shouldn't people be going to jail?"

Other topics included Treasury Secretary Tim Geitner, the Washington blame game, toxic assets, lack of credit and bank lending, health care and energy.

Jay asked about flying on Air Force One and the White House bowling ally, where Obama said he still plays like he was in the Special Olympics after bowling a 129.

North Carolina Tar Heels are the Presidents winning pick for the final four.

The entire interview is available below, and is well worth the time to watch it.

Watchmen Hits Theaters - Review & Movie Trailer

The spring box-office season got its unofficial start this weekend with Billy Crudup in "Watchmen".

Based on Alan Moore's famous comic book series, "Watchmen" is a story set in an alternative 1985, where the world is edging closer to the brink of nuclear war, and a plot to eliminate a band of retired crime fighters is under way.

But by whom? And why?

It is up to these ex-crime fighters to investigate the plot that seems to go beyond the unbelievable.

The story begins with Nixon in the White House, the Cold War growing hotter, and the Watchmen sitting on the sidelines. Dan Dreiberg (Patrick Wilson) has retired his Nite Owl costume; Laurie Jupiter (Malin Akerman) no longer dresses in spandex; and Adrian Veidt (Matthew Goode) in now a businessman.

Looming over everyone is Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup), a nuclear scientist who's been transformed into a godlike figure - radiant, omnipresent and disinterested. Together, they must find who is trying to eliminate them.

Along the way, they uncover a plot that shakes the very foundation of our way of life.

The film is rated R for strong graphic violence, sexuality, nudity and language. There are lengthy sex scenes and a lot of nudity, as Dr. Manhattan never wears any clothes. The soundtrack is powerful and syncs well with the plot.

Help Steven Colbert Name The New NASA Space Module

Late night comedian Steven Colbert is on a mission - a mission to name the new NASA Space Station module after him.

Colbert has enlisted the help of his ColbertNation fans to visit the NASA website and enter his name in the vote to select the new module name.

The video below lays out his evil plan.

Will his plan work?

Not likely, but with the name "Xenu" currently leading the pack, it might not be as much of a long shot as we think.

After all, he already has his DNA onboard, and has talked with astronauts live from the apace station on his show.

Voting ends on March 20, so we don't have a lot of time.
