At 8:35 p.m. Iowa time -- just after The Tonight Show taping concluded -- former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack held a telephone news conference to discuss his appearance on the show that airs this evening. "I had an interesting opportunity to be on The Tonight Show tonight. The show actually starts with a skit that Jay and I did, so the actual beginning of The Tonight Show involves Jay Leno and a fellow who was dressed up as a security guard doing a little skit which I think people will find pretty funny and after that, Jay interviewed Jim Carrey for a while and then I was asked to come on after Jim Carrey," Vilsack said at the beginning of the call.
