The subject of Newman’s Own Organic Dog Food (yes, it’s for real) comes up. Leno produces a can and says he’ll give him $10 if he’ll eat some.
Newman stares at him for a good 5-10 seconds. That’s a loooong time on the air.
Leno says, “It’s organic.” I’m ROFLMAO.
Newman finally takes a spoonful, doesn’t grimace, keeps it down. Leno’s ROFLMAO.
The segment is ending, Leno says, “We’ll be right back,” and Newman takes ANOTHER spoonful. Just before the fade, with his mouth still full, he motions with the dog food to someone off-screen, meaning “Would you like to try it?”
Newman looked pretty good handling that go-kart also. He was way out ahead staying on a nice line. Leno kept trying to catch up while slamming into the walls and barriers.
Hey, if it’s brown rice and chicken, it’s brown rice and chicken. It just sounds gross cause they slapped a dog food label on it. It’s not like he was eating nasty bi-product stuff like real dog food.
There was a segment on Letterman years ago where he and a petfood company guy were eating various kinds of “gourmet” petfood produced by the company. I guess some things are just always funny.
If eating that dog food would guarantee EVERY man would look like Paul Newman does at 81, I would think the line of men would wrap around the planet a few times. Woof.

A friend of mine used to work at Columbia Pictures in NYC, and Paul Newman had an office just down the hall. She said he was one of the nicest, most down-to-earth people she’d ever met. Whenever he came out with a “Newman’s Own” product, he would personally deliver some to everyone in the office.
) I also find his other products pretty good. I’d eat a spoonful for $10.
