When talking post-election and the economy with CNN personality Anderson Cooper on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (11:35 p.m.-12:35 a.m. ET) last night, Leno made it clear that when it came to President-Elect Obama's tax plan -- he didn't mind paying more taxes.

"I make a lot of money... I really don't mind paying more taxes, if I really think it's going to help that guy, that guy and that guy," said Leno referring to various members in the audience. "I am very grateful for what I have and if it helps -- and it makes our country stronger, I really don't mind."

Cooper, hot off a long election trail, stops by the show's Burbank studios to talk about the historical election, CNN's new hologram technology, the future of Sarah Palin – and even Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."

"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" is from Big Dog Productions in association with NBC Universal Television Studios. Debbie Vickers is the executive producer. "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" airs Monday - Friday, 11:35 p.m.-12:37 a.m. ET.
