Anybody watch Leno?

Jay Leno's "Jaywalking" routine features man- and woman-on-the-street interviews with alleged morons -- but one recent clip makes him look like a bigger dope than the woman he portrays as a brainless chump. That's because her reference to Amelia Earhart as a 9News personality is almost, if not quite, accurate -- and he has no clue.  The Amelia Earhart on 9News.​Granted, her guess that if February was Black History Month, March must be White History Month doesn't qualify her as a genius. In this country, every month is White History Month. But when Leno asks her to identify Amelia Earhart, she references not the famous pilot portrayed in a famously unwatchable Hilary Swank movie, but a personality from 9News in Denver. Whichhappens to be true. She's the outlet's on-air traffic reporter. Granted, the woman tells Leno that Earhart delivers the weather at the station, not road information, prompting an allegedly wacky graphic featuring the other Amelia chipping in with forecast details. But even funnier is the idea that Leno's staffers went to the trouble of producing this material without first Googling the woman's oddly specific answer -- or remembering that the still-breathing Earhart actually worked for a time in California, where Leno's Tonight Show is based. Had they done so, they might have avoided making their boss look like as big a buffoon as the people he typically interviews.-----------------------------I always thought it was weird that someone named Amelia Earheart would want to learn to fly, but hey, wevs. She was on the news this morning when I woke up, enjoying her moment of national fame. It was endearing.
