Jay Leno irritates New Jersey newspaper

by Bob Sassone, posted May 1st 2009 7:28PM
Jay Leno does one funny thing on The Tonight Show, "Headlines," and he even screws that up sometimes.

Case in point: this clip from the past Monday. Leno was reading a couple of headlines from the Marlton Telegram, and the two headlines (one about school taxes going up, one about school taxes going down) seemed to contradict themselves (and only one page apart, by the same reporter). But they were two different stories and about two different school districts. "Headlines" is funny, though I think some of them are bogus, like when he has a pic that doesn't seem to go with a particular headline, and that's probably because of the way the article was cut out.

quite possibly one of the most unintelligent sounding things i have read on the internet in some time.

nothing is more hilarious than a witless idiot telling people to not be witless idiots. most certainly proves your point.

C'mon... how can you complain about that "School taxes going up/down" bit? I'm no fan of Leno, but I do like the Headlines segment a lot, and that one was a pretty funny contradiction, even if there is a "reason" for it.

Yep, I agree that Headlines is some of the funniest stuff on there.

Headlines is my very favorite segment on the show. I'd say most are true. There are very idiotic things in the papers. Perhaps it's leading the way to their demise.
