DescriptionKucinich Wins Date on'Tonight Show'

Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich took his quest for a girlfriend to late-night television - and won a date with actress Jennifer Tilly.

The Ohio congressman, who has been divorced twice, asked questions of a trio of unseen women Thursday in a takeoff on "The Dating Game" on NBC's "Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

Responses by Tilly, actress Cybill Shepherd and Los Angeles radio talk show host Kim Serafin blended sexual innuendo with politics and references to Kucinich's environmental concerns.

Serafin said she would help Kucinich relax after a long day on the campaign trail by rubbing him "with oil not tested on animals."

Kucinich asked bachelorette No. 1: "So I win the Democratic nomination, but I have laryngitis so I ask you to make the victory speech. What do you say?"

"Good evening delegates," Tilly responded. "My husband, Dennis, thought he was going to lose so he didn't write a victory speech. And now he's pretending like he has laryngitis."
