Steve and Eydie were on twice with Jay Leno, in 1994 and 1995. The first appearance (9/21/94) was terrific - it was from a week of shows in Las Vegas, and they were sandwiched between Roseanne Barr and Courteney Cox. At the beginning of the show, a guy came out to do a stunt - he shoved a dozen or so quarters up his nose. Later, after Steve and Eydie sang their song, they sat down on the couch and Steve said "I spoke to that guy who put the quarters up his nose... I gave him a handkerchief, and he blew a fortune!" Courteney was promoting "Friends," which was to premiere the following night. When Jay asked her to describe the show, she said it was about a group of people in their twenties... "although I'm not in my twenties - I just turned thirty." Eydie turned to her with something that was between a sneer and a smile and said "And I was starting to LIKE you!" -Tim
