"Magic Johnson, former basketball player, may run for mayor of LA in the next election. Remember the good 'ol days when only qualified people ran for office like actors and professional wrestlers"

About this Quote

In this quote, Jay Leno is making an ironical remark about the existing state of politics. He mentions Magic Johnson, a previous basketball player, potentially running for mayor of Los Angeles in the upcoming election. Leno then recollects about a time when just certified individuals, such as stars and professional wrestlers, ran for political office. This declaration highlights the absurdity of the present political climate, where stars and professional athletes are often viewed as practical candidates for public office. Leno's usage of humor serves to slam the lack of certifications and experience that some politicians have, and the concept that popularity and appeal suffice to qualify someone for a position of power.
