My friend and comedienne Kira Soltanovitch is the woman who is screwing with them on the other end of this bit. Arguably one of the few enjoyable things The Tonight Show with Jay Leno did in it's waning years, which I know is not saying a lot at all.
half the time whenever they leave the studio and go record something it is a thousand times better then anything else on his show. I believe there is some kind of ancient artifact in Jay Leno's studio that destroys humor.
