HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — President Barack Obama paid a visit to the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Thursday, but he didn't escape the hot seat without a little controversy.
When asked about the White House bowling alley, Obama joked to Leno that his average score of 129 "was like the Special Olympics or something."
The comment led to the White House issuing an apology before the show aired.
While Thursday night wasn't Obama's first "Tonight Show" visit, it was the first appearance by a sitting President on a late night talk show.
Obama first appeared on the "Tonight Show" in Dec. 2006. He also paid a visit in Oct. 2007 while in the midst of his presidential election campaign.
