Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: Came across this while trying to pinpoint exact moment Leno stopped being funny

[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"][quote name="Wikipedia"]Virtual Jay - Computer-generated animation of Leno. According to the skit, when Leno heated up a burrito with the foil still on it in the microwave while at his computer, it caused an electrical shock to come from the microwave to Leno to his computer, thus causing Leno to "travel" through the Internet. It usually involved gags to emphasize some of his recurring jokes at the time (e.g. "Virtual Jay" in a page with the picture of a desert and then realizing that he was in Dan Quayle's webpage during his failed 1996 run for President). Discontinued.[/quote] This sounded like some cutting-edge stuff for 1996, the year of Swingers and Netscape Navigator 3.0! But upon further research, it appears the character of Virtual Jay didn't appear on the Tonight Show until 1999, the year of Patch Adams and Something Awful. I had been mislead by Leno's hilariously outdated even for the time <i>Dan Quayle jokes.</i> Fucking Leno![/quote]
