I can't recall if I reviewed my Secret Service history with the Tonight Show here previously. The greatest amount of interaction I had with them was when I worked the studio across the hall while in charge of the talent on Your Big Break during the 2000 campaign then VP Gore, then first lady Clinto

Well, that's the Jay Leno show in a nutshell - it's effectively encased in amber. I'd be shocked if Leno was able to do his high-five BS on the night Obama appeared - I'd think Secret Service would be keeping the audience at a distance that night. On Tuesday, August 13, 2013 10:47:05 PM UTC-4,

I didn't see his entrance on the night that Obama was on, but I watched the night that Mark Cuban was on and I didn't see any discernable difference between now and 15+ years ago. -Stan On Wednesday, August 7, 2013 9:26:38 PM UTC-4, PGage wrote: > > On Wed, Aug 7, 2013 at 6:11 PM, stannc >wrote

Hey, hey, I resemble that remark. I'm no Leno fan, but as a fan of TV and the Tonight Show I had to see the show live when I was in LA for the first time in the late 90s. I received the "Leno High Five" and I was no worshipper. :) I actually wasn't aware of the thing until a page came over and c

When I heard President Obama was going on Leno, my first thought was "he wants to face someone who will throw harder softball questions". I haven't seen the episode, nor do I plan to, but I think Leno's MO goes all the way back to Hugh Grant in 1995. He's gonna ask the questions that people want to

I watched last night's episode of the Tonight Show this morning (thanks Hulu), for what may be the first time since Leno's first week back after deposing Conan (its possible I have seen one or two other shows since then, but I can't remember it right now). Leno seems to have put on some weight, an
