Jay Leno Cuddles With a Tiger on 'The Tonight Show' (VIDEO)

We always love it when large animals invade the set of 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno' (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on NBC). Jay Leno's got some chutzpah to handle the big kitties, like he did on last night's show.

Still, it's gotta be a little nerve-wracking, knowing that even a 10-week-old tiger could rip his face off if she wanted to. Thankfully, she only seemed interested in cuddling, and handler Dave Salmoni was close by in case things got interesting.
