The Jay Leno Comedy Show doesn't debut until next week, but details have already emerged about the program's "Green Car Challenge" (an eco-friendly version of Top Gear's "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" segment). Apparently, the vehicle that Tom Cruise and others will be driving is a very special battery electric version of the Ford Focus, built by Ford's hybrid and battery EV program in conjunction with Ford Racing. Sounds like a great set-up for the real thing. [Jalopnik]

    The Jay Leno show tonight was the Tonight Show light. Other than the Obama skit, nothing was worth watching. I give it 3 months
