On Thursday's Tonight Show, NBC's Jay Leno gratuitously inserted a slam at Fox News as he poked fun of colleague Chris Matthews flunking on Jeopardy: "He got his ass kicked on Jeopardy. He just - he was so embarrassed. The good news: he got so many facts wrong, today he was offered a job at Fox News."
The following morning, Friday's CBS This Morning played up the anti-Fox News clip as a lead-in to the 7:30 am Eastern half hour. Anchor Charlie Rose apparently thought it was funny, as he laughed it up after the punchline.
