any truth to this
and the punchline was its going to be called oklahomosexual
Was it a repeat?
Leno strikes me as a huge homophobe.
Yes, everything Jay says in his monologue is truth. He's like the next Michael Reidel.
I think the key words here are:
"Jay Leno" and "is it true"
Honey, you're asking if Uncle Sam is pregnant.
Musical, no.
I did hear that Annie Proux has granted the rights for the story to be done as an opera.
Conan and Ferguson are the only late show people that keep things fresh; The others keep rehashing the same old tired material.
I like Letterman and Ferguson....and you too ladies!
An opera of it might be really interesting. I don't know if that rumor was real or fake but if done right...very interesting.
It actually was announced about a month ago that composer Charles Wuorinen has begun working on an operatic treatment of Brokeback Mountain. No commission or opera house is involved yet, but it is definitely in the works.

Jeff Whitty, Tony winner for the book of Avenue Q, has written about Leno and his obnoxious homophobic humor....

Through my work, I got a comp to see Jay Leno do his stand-up act in Atlantic City. Besides the usual Michael Jackson and Robert Blake bits, he had a really long sequence about how hard it was for his parents to rewind tapes in their VCR.
Not a DVR. Not a DVD player. Not the Internet. Not even difficulty in programming the VCR. Just rewinding the tapes. And this was in 2004, folks. That joke wouldn't even have been current when he first started "The Tonight Show."
So "Oklahoma-sexual" seems about what I would expect.
Leno will just never let this go.
An opera?!
I can't think of anything more dull that two cowboy baritenors singing a "mountain aria" for 3 hours.
High on a mount stood a lonely shepherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Stemming the rose of another shepherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
What a duet for a gay deep throat-herd!
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo!
