Jay Leno had something special planned for Chelsea Handler’s appearance on The Tonight Show on Wednesday night — a helicopter ride to celebrate the release of the E! personality’s latest book, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang.
Leno’s first week back as host of The Tonight Show continued Wednesday, with the late-night comedian welcoming the cast of Jersey Shore to the stage for a Celebrity All-Stars edition of “Jaywalking.” Here’s a given: no one on TV’s most controversial reality hit is a Rhodes Scholar. Six cast members from the popular docusoap appeared on Wednesday night’s special edition of Jay Leno’s classic bit, where the self-described “guidos” and “guidettes” participated in a trivia game during which they were asked “things you should have learned in school.”
Among the highlights:
-Pauly D doesn’t quite get the difference between “homosapien” and “homosexual…..”
-Sarah Palin would be in a line for the presidency if both President Obama and Vice President Biden were rendered unable to govern…..
-Snooki thinks J.D. Salinger wrote The Catcher In The Closet…..
-Barbara Walters looks a helluva lot like Joan Rivers…..
Former Republican vice presidential nominee turned into a stand-up comic on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show Tuesday, dropping one-liners about the White House, Congress, and actress/comedienne Tina Fey.
Grab some popcorn, pull up a chair, and watch the drama unfold: Radio shock jock Howard Stern toned down his usual radio schtick during an interview on CBS’ The Early Show on Tuesday, but the razor-tongued prankster minced no words about his dislike for late-night star Jay Leno — just hours after Leno returned to his post as host of NBC’s The Tonight Show.
Stern lit into Leno, viciously comparing his nemesis to a “lapdog” and a “showbiz animal, who just won’t let go.” Howard even revealed that the mere mentioning of Leno’s name “makes him want to vomit.”
(I’ll update this with a better quality video as soon as I can, guys. This is the best I can find for now!)
He’s back, Jay Leno has hosted his first show in late-night since Conan O’Brien’s departure from NBC late last month. The Tonight Show with Jay Leno relaunched Monday night with a visit from Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, a tongue-lashing from Betty White, and the still-embattled Leno channeling Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.
Leno started Monday’s show by spoofing the end of the cinema classic, where Dorothy awakens to find all those crazy goings-on were only a dream: “I went away to the strangest place. It was wonderful, but some of it wasn’t so nice.”
