Everyone who has been laughing at the idea of Fran Drescher taking over Hillary Clinton's Senate seat for the state of New York, you can stop laughing now. It's not that wild an idea, not when you consider that Fred Grandy -- Gopher from The Love Boat -- was a Congressman from Iowa, and pro wrestler Jesse Ventura was the Governor of Minnesota, and there's a really good chance that Saturday Night Live alum Al Franken (remember Stuart Smalley?) has won the Senate seat for Minnesota, too. (They're still recounting the votes!)
Oh, and let's not forget the Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger from the great state of California. In other words, why not Senator Fran Drescher!
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger partnered with MTV's Pimp My Ride to turn a 65 Chevy Impala into an environmentally friendlier version of itself for Earth Day.
Remember when politics hit an all-time low Arnold Schwarzenegger went on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to announce his candidacy for California governor? That was all fine and dandy, but he made a return visit to the show last night, ahead of the November 7th election, and it has his opponent pretty pissed off. California State Treasurer Phil Angelides says he has also requested time on The Tonight Show but has not heard back from producers. So now, a California congressman filed a complaint with the FCC claiming that NBC is not fulfilling the equal time statute of the Federal Communications Act that requires television and radio media to give candidates equal time. NBC says Schwarzenegger's appearance doesn't fall under the political statute since his appearance does not qualify as a news interview.
After Schwarzenegger made his candidacy announcement in 2003, Leno had all 135 gubernatorial candidates on the show and they each had 10 seconds to say what they stand for. They had to yell it at the same time.
