Jay Leno says Joe Biden Joe BidenSenate Republicans face tough decision on replacing Ginsburg What Senate Republicans have said about election-year Supreme Court vacancies Biden says Ginsburg successor should be picked by candidate who wins on Nov. 3 MORE is a “decent man,” and he plans on casting a ballot for the former VP if he’s on the ballot in November.

“People like Joe because he’s got a good character,” Leno told ITK during a recent trip to Washington.

The former “Tonight Show” host said watching Biden, who saw a comeback in the Democratic presidential primary after winning the majority of delegates on Super Tuesday, makes for a “feel good” moment.

“It was like the end of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’ Remember George Bailey? He was down and out and everybody shows up with money,” Leno said.

“He spent $11,000 in Massachusetts — that’s one ad, really — and he won. He beat Bloomberg.

The former New York mayor, who had spent more than half a billion dollars on Super Tuesday ads, ended his self-funded White House bid last week after a disappointing showing.

When ITK inquired whether Leno, 69, felt a need to constantly tune in to the news since he’s no longer crafting wisecracks for a monologue each night, he replied, “I’m a news junkie anyway.”

“I enjoy the news, but I don’t have to pay attention to it.”

“The news doesn’t change that much,” added Leno, who exited “The Tonight Show” in 2014. “If you miss it for a day, you miss everything. If you miss it for a year, you don’t miss anything.”

“The news, it’s the same topic every night. It used to be different topics,” Leno said. “Now it’s just, ‘What outrageous thing did X say this time?’ ”
