If Jay Leno is 5'11", Nicole Kidman must have had heels on the last time are saw her on his show. But it didn't look like she had heels on. There's no way he's 5'11"

Comments: Apart from uttering the words that inspired the final paragraph of this text, Tonight Show host Jay Leno had nothing whatsoever to do with its authorship. The original was written by columnist Craig R. Smith and published in November 2006 on WorldNetDaily.com under the title "Made in the U.S.A.: Spoiled Brats."

As a successful stand-up comedian, long before his Tonight Show days, Jay Leno performed as many as 300 nights a year. He was hired to write for the '70s sit-com Good Times, and briefly appeared in one episode. His fame really started with a few 1977 appearances on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, and as part of the comedy ensemble in that summer's Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. Show. The early Leno often told jokes with an edge, and was a frequent guest on NBC's Late Night with David Letterman show through the 1980s. He was ... a perennial guest and guest host on Tonight, where his humor was well-received but began lacking the bite it had elsewhere. Presumably, he was trying to appeal to Carson's older, middle-of-the-road audience.

Soon after news of President Clinton's sex scandal emerged in the mainstream media, Jay Leno found his calling. Every day since, he has told the infamous "Clinton joke" to an enthusiastic audience. He is hailed as the inventor of the Clinton joke, and has honed it throughout the years with each telling. Years after Clinton's term ended, Jay continued well into the next presidency, adapting current events to fit into a Clinton joke at least twice in one night. Mr Leno was awarded the honorary "Comedic Achievement for most Clinton jokes in one Lifetime" award.

A popular comedian during the 1970s, Jay Leno is best known as the man who replaced Johnny Carson at the helm of The Tonight Show in 1992. Leno was born James Douglas Muir Leno to parents of Italian and Scottish heritage (Leno is particularly fond of discussing the Italian part) in New Rochelle, NY, but was raised in Andover, MA. During the year in which he was establishing his standup career, Leno was performing 300 nights throughout North America. He made his television debut on the Merv Griffin Show and his acting debut in Silver Bears (1977). That year he appeared in the cast of the short-lived Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. Show, a musical variety summer replacement series. By the early '80s, Leno had left behind any notion of becoming an actor because his comedy career was in high gear. His subsequent film appearances have been as himself or as a parody of himself (The Flintstones, 1994).
