This is just more proof that Leno isn’t fit to fill Johnny Carson’s shoes. Carson showed him for the fraud that he is.

No, No, No!

Lasers on 747’s? Why wouldn’t we use the more economical 777?

Beleive it or not, this might be the most intelligent thing Uri has said in a while.

You can’t melt asteroids like spoons! Anybody knows that. But a psychic should be able to tell us when the asteroid is coming.

Hey, Uri! When is it coming?

And what does that say about the idiocy coming from Uri?

You said it. Carson had James Randi on duplicating the feats. Carson is something of a magician himself, so he recognized the ploys. Or rather, [stilted voice] he noticed that the effects Geller demonstrated using psychic powers bore a striking resemblance to tricks used by conjurers that do not rely on psychic powers. [/stilted voice] Gotta cover my ass there. Don’t want to get sued for libel. :rolleyes:

Leno’s an asskisser.
