First of all I apologize if an of the following details are incorrect, but I wasn't really paying attention.

During Leno's Headlines segment last night, he showed a picture in the newpaper with the caption Yes lead singer with Dennis Rodman (I think). The picture actually contained Betty White and Mr T..
Having Jon confused with Betty White(?) (or was it Rue McClanahan...the other Golden Girl). is not a good thing, but at least they got mentioned on national tv. I told you the details were fuzzy, but I know Jon was confused with some "older female actress".

Leno thought it was amusing so apparently he is at least familair with Yes. Now, if we could only get them on there.

That is a rather odd joke. Another reason I like Letterman, better jokes. :D

I am guessing most of the audience had no clue what he was talking about! :1poke:

Acually it wasn't Jay's joke. It was done during his headlne segment, in which he shows misprints from newspapers that he gets sent to him. So the "joke" was a mistake by some newspaper. I can't say the audience response was overwhelming, but some people laughed/applauded, so some of them knew who Jon is.

The Tonight Show always posts their headlines on their website a couple days after they use them. Once I see it there, I'll post a link so you can see it.
