Previously: NBC First Read's Joel Seidman:

There is an air of anticipation that GOP presidential contender-in-waiting Fred Thompson will have something substantive to say tonight about his still-to-be-announced run for the White House when he appears on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

I'll be watching. Maybe Jeri Thompson will show up. Maybe Fred will announce his election plans. Arnold did.
