REVEALED. Arnold Schwarzenegger admits -- he can say "California" like anybody else.

After Schwarzenegger correctly pronounced the name of his state for the Tonight Show audience, host Jay Leno shot back: "I think you're from Fresno and this whole Austrian thing is phony".

"You're absolutely right," Schwarzenegger replied. "I work very hard to keep a little bit of that accent [e.g. "Kah-li-fornia"] because people think it sounds cool, and so I keep that."

Schwarzenegger marked the 1 year anniversary of his annoucement as a candidate for governor Friday Night on the Leno show. "Pretty much the best year I've had in my entire life," is how Schwarzenegger summed up his dramatic rise from Hollywood actor to governor of California. Posted by Greg Ransom | TrackBack
