Scott Brown to appear on Jay Leno's 'Ten at Ten'
Sen.-elect
Scott Brown (R-Mass.) will appear via satellite on NBC's
soon-to-be-cancelled "Jay Leno Show" this Thursday for a Q&A segment
with the host called "Ten at Ten."
Brown beat Massachusetts
Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) to win late Sen. Edward Kennedy's
(D-Mass.) seat in an upset last Wednesday, and the appearance will mark
Brown's first time on an unscripted late-night variety show.
Appearing
on a show like Leno's can be a gamble for politicians; young audiences
mean the videos usually appear on YouTube, but it could pay off for
Brown if he comes across as funny and likable on the air.
Previous
political figures who've appeared on the segment include First Lady
Michelle Obama, House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney
Frank (D-Mass.), Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), and Health and Human
Services Sec. Kathleen Sebelius.
NBC recently announced that it
will cancel Leno's hour-long weekday spot at 10 p.m. to return the host
to his previous gig at "The Tonight Show."
