Was there a "Jay Leno effect" in 2003 California recall? [View all]
Leno still rules late night back then. The Tonight Show was still based in LA at the time. Every morning news recap of late night (that was a thing then) featured him and very often there was a joke of some sort about the recall. He also had the zoo of candidates on, both Ahnold (announced on his show I think) and a porn star.
Do you think that had an effect in 2003?
Was the absence of Leno a factor in 2021?
