They added laughter where there was none during uncomfortable portions. Well, there was some laughter. Mine, of derision. During those pregnant pauses in her performance I was laughing long and loud, couldn't help myself as much of what she was saying was utterly surreal, ridiculous, hypocritical - nonsense, spewed platitudes, pushed buttons. I was seriously thinking of leaving as it was getting hysterically unfunny.
After sitting through the taping of the show in the studio I can recount many portions where there was little or no laughter or response, but at the later broadcast they are smoothed over with applause and laughter that WERE NOT THERE at the taping. Groans, hoots, grumbling, or just dead silence - all missing.

I don't care for Palin's policies and I think she is a bit dim...but I can't really fault her on this.
She isn't a comedian...I'm sure many people who go on Jay Leno need help with a laugh track. I didn't see the show, just a clip of her...why did she do a monolouge/stand up bit? Why didn't she just do the sit down portion like many others do? Usually the only ones that do a solo stand up bit are actual comedians. Any idea?
