Ninety of the 135 recall candidates were in the audience of "The Tonight Show" on Monday, including former child actor Gary Coleman and porn star Mary Carey, whom Leno described as having "the only hole in the ballot that's already been punched." Carey responded to the jibe by saluting the camera with her middle finger.

The best moment came when Leno asked the candidates to explain their plans for improving the state, allotting each 10 seconds to speak — at the same time. Read more highlights here.
