Here’s the regular Monday morning collection from the previous week:

Leno: This week is the 40th anniversary of the war on drugs. Our partner Mexicans had a moment of silence and then hours of laughter.

Conan: President Obama met with Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, today. The good news is he can create new jobs. The bad news is, they’re all in Farmville.

Leno: So Facebook is thinking of buying Twitter for $10 billion to combine the two companies into the biggest waste of time the world has ever seen.

‘SNL’: Current TV. If you’re not familiar with Current TV, it’s a channel founded by Al Gore. If you are familiar with Current TV, congratulations on being Al Gore.

Conan: Reports today that last year the Kardashian sisters made....

... $65 million. But before you get too upset, remember 10% of that goes directly to Satan. Fallon: The Kardashian family reportedly made $65 million in 2010. Just shows you that hard work and focus are clearly not necessary to make $65 million.

Conan: Celebrity Khloe Kardashian and husband Los Angeles Laker Lamar Odom are coming out with a new cologne. The cologne is called “One of Us Has a Skill.”

Conan: An Ohio man may be the Amish Bernie Madoff. He allegedly swindled millions from Amish families. People grew suspicious when they saw his horse pulling a Lamborghini.

Fallon: Big music news. Paris Hilton reveals that she’s releasing a new album in the next few months. Man, I can wait to hear that.

Leno: Paris Hilton’s second album will be out soon, which is strange. Because she still hasn’t apologized for the first one.

Fallon: A Japanese company plans the world’s first marathon for robots. I’m not sure who’s gonna win, but my money’s on the robot from Kenya.

Conan: So, Borders Books is declaring bankruptcy. I don’t know how this happened, but I learned about it while reading a magazine in Borders Books that I had no intention of buying.

Conan: The Borders Books bankruptcy means its creditors can’t collect their debts. But they can duck in and use the store bathrooms anytime.

Leno: Michelle Obama said she expected jewelry for Valentine’s Day but nothing extravagant. She says the president is very responsible when spending his own money.

Leno: Home Depot anticipates a home-improvement rush and will hire 60,000 seasonal workers this spring, 50,000 from their own parking lots.

Fallon: A new study finds that kids who work more than 20 hours a week at a job are more likely to get bad grades. On the other hand, China.

Conan: The first-ever Chinese dog was a Westminster dog show finalist. The Chinese dog lists his proudest accomplishment: ‘Not being eaten.’

Letterman: Baseball training camps are starting now. Pitchers and catchers report today. Infielders tomorrow. And Hollywood girlfriends on Wednesday.
