November 21, 2001Military Salute on "The Tonight Show"From the SAF/PA Media Memo: NBC TONIGHT SHOW RECOGNIZES MILITARY MEMBERS: Maj Gen Pearson, AFFTC/CC, and other Air Force members from Edwards AFB will be part of the Tonight Show audience, hosted by Jay Leno, during a special show paying tribute to the military. Expect positive coverage tonight at 11:30 p.m. ET.On a personal note, I lived at Edwards AFB for three years (79-82), and I recall a rather strong relationship between Hollywood and Edwards AFB, due to proximity (90 miles) and "glamour" (test pilots and H-wood stars). Two occasions stick out: the screening of "Conan The Barbarian" at the Edwards AFB Officers Club before it was commercially released, with the director (or producer?) attending; and Christopher Reeves (Superman!) and Barbara Eden (Jeannie) attending some similar type of screening, also at the O Club.

Sounds interesting...but I just can't bring myself to watch Jay Leno over Dave. Maybe it's an east coast thing.... Posted by: Allison at November 21, 2001 09:29 PMAgreed! Jay is, bluntly, an idiot, especially when compared to Dave's cutting wit and intelligence. Jay should've stuck to the comedy-club circuit.
