"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno"

The (really short) Tonight Show!

My dorm at Pepperdine went to this recording of "The Tonight Show" as a group. Unfortunately, also on September 20, 2000, Olympic summer games were being played in Sydney, Australia. When that happens, "The Tonight Show" is Jay Leno's monologue, and that's it. Jay was out there recording for only about 5 minutes. He also spoke a lot with the audience before filming started. After Jay was done, they filmed 3 unknown stand-up comedians that we were told they'd use as filler material on future episodes. It was fun, but I wish we could have gone to a normal taping, with sketch material and celebrity interviews.
