"Who should we get for Wednesday night?" asked Jay Leno. "How about Newt Gingrich and Snooki," responded the greatest scheduler to ever work in entertainment television. And so it was written.
Newt Gingrich and Snooki were in fact Jay Leno's guests on The Tonight Show Wednesday evening. They apparently hit it off -- there was even an exchange of stuffed animals (Newt, you animal lover, you).
