MLB: Leno to headline D-backs fundraiser

Pravda, indeed.

The event, which benefits the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation, will take place exactly one month after Leno makes his return to NBC’s flagship late-night program. Following the 2010 Winter Olympics on March 1, Leno will resume his duties as host of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”

Leno has been in the news a lot recently. After 17 years of hosting “The Tonight Show,” Leno stepped down as host in favor of Conan O’Brien and began “The Jay Leno Show” on NBC in the 9 p.m. MST time slot.

After just four months, it was announced that Leno would return to late night, a format in which he was hugely successful and one in which he was consistently at the top of the ratings.

I initially read this as "Leno to headline D-bag fundraiser," and it didn't surprise me in the slightest.

I hope Diamondback fans love OJ Simpson and Bill Clinton jokes.

Unfortunately, it's too late for them to sign Coco Crisp.

Pravda, indeed.

This should have read: "Have you seen this? Have you heard about this?"


Unfortunately, it's too late for them to sign Coco Crisp.

Ha.

Finally the D-backs are making a serious effort to attract all those senior citizens in Arizona.

I'm so glad to be here in Arizona. The weather's beautiful. It's been so nice, I hear the White House party crashers wish they'd crashed Arizona.

Head nod.

Head nod.

Hands in pockets.

The Diamondbacks are a great franchise, but you know, they haven't won since 2001. The last time the Diamondbacks were in the playoffs, balloon boy was still a floating apple in his father's eye.

Balloon boy.

And the franchise hasn't been around that long. Started in the 90s, you hear that, Kevin? Only been in existence since the 90s. Bill Clinton's penis.

I'm with Coco.

Good stuff, MCA.

Cool, he and Mark Grace can discuss backstabbing techniques.
   10. Raskolnikov Posted: January 29, 2010 at 12:40 AM (#3449322)
Another reason to hate the D-backs.
   11. Greg Franklin Posted: January 29, 2010 at 12:47 AM (#3449325)
This should have read: "Have you seen this? Have you heard about this?"

That would've stolen Leno's joke, and thus would have been unethical.

Folks, we got a good thread ahead of us!

Rich Little was not available.

This will be the perfect opportunity for Leno to use that "fat tub of goo" joke he just wrote to zing an obese baseball player!
   14. Crispix Attacks Posted: January 29, 2010 at 03:57 AM (#3449436)
This is all a prank orchestrated by a competing show. It'll turn out to be Chris Elliot.
