DH sent this to me, it’s a clip from Jay Leno’s Tonight Show from 2006 and possibly one of the funniest things i have ever seen. Enjoy!

    It never hurts to start my day with laughter. 99 cent store was ringing bells, I'm sure I've been in one but its been decades. Looking at their facebook page indicates they are now 99 cents Plus so not quite the bargain it once was. It also took me back to when television programming was predictable and reliable, we knew what was going to be on - and when. I did like Leno's humor 😊which was very different from Cavett's dry wit (so now, have I really dated myself).

    I can't believe that was 18 years ago! Time sure does fly. Thanks for sharing, Kswl! (An ear pick with a compass?)

    Those are a hoot! Always laughed at the translations on packages, but the Snoopy one is poetry on its own!

    I got sucked into watching more than one.

    I always loved his "Headlines" but don't remember seeing his 99¢ episodes. I used to take clippings from The Argonaut newspaper from Marina Del Rey/Venice/Westchester and send them to a friend of mine, but I could have sent them to Jay Leno.

    Feathers, the ear pick (complete with handy compass) had me laughing to tears!

    Lots of laughs there. Thanks for sharing. Our 99 cent store closed a couple years or more ago and the dollar store is now closed too.

    OT, but I also remember other bits he'd do. Like the one where he'd share funny ads in newspapers.


    One time I saw an ad in a local trade magazine that read: "Help needed for barn building company. To erect on site". I thought that was so funny and saved it thinking I'd send it to Leno, but I chickened out.

    Love, love it! DH and I both enjoyed his show and laughed till we cried over this. I always enjoyed his street interviews with the simple questions he would ask and the dumb responses people would have.

    I saw a newspaper ad that said ”Pair of breeding Quakers. $375.” I wondered how much a pair of Presbyterians would go for.

    Around here they are scarce so they’d fetch a good price, certainly higher than Baptists, which are abundant!
