Jay Leno makes homophobic remarks on Tonight Show!

by Wendy on April 1st, 2008

So Jay Leno, aside from being completely non-funny, is also kind of a dipshit. He made some highly questionable remarks to Ryan Phillippe on the Tonight Show last night; Ryan was there to promote his new movie “Stop Loss”. Here’s the video:

Here’s what was said:

Leno, 57, said to the actor, “Can you give me, like – say that camera is your gay lover …”

Despite Phillippe’s instant discomfort, Leno went on to say, “Can you give me your ‘gayest look’? Say that camera is Billy Bob – Billy Bob has just ridden in shirtless from Wyoming.”

“Wow,” replied Phillippe, 33. “That is so something I don’t want to do. Are you just going to embarrass me tonight, or … ?”

“No,” said Leno. “I got more stuff. This is the least of it.”

Do you think Jay was inappropriate? Why or why not?

    […] L’acteur Ryan Phillippe invité du célèbre “Saturday Night Live” de Jay Leno a eu droit à une vraie séance d’humiliation en direct. Alors qu’il venait faire la promotion de son dernier film “Stop Loss”, l’animateur lui a tenu des propos ambigus en insinuant que l’acteur était gay. En lui désignant une caméra, Monsieur Leno a carrément demandé à l’acteur de faire comme si il s’adressait à son “amant gay” puis lui a demandé d’avoir l’air “le plus gay possible”. Plus que mal à l’aise, Ryan Phillippe qui pour mémoire à été marié pendant 8 ans à l’actrice Reese Witherspoon, a tout de même su garder son sang froid. Voir la vidéo ici. […]

    Hosts don’t say anything that is not agreed by both parties, it’s something that has been scripted and agreed on, sometimes even rehearsed.
    These are schemes to publicize someone in the media.
    It will be naive to believe that Ryan Phillippe got offended, etc.
