Title: Celebrity J! spoof on Leno
Post by: brianhenke on October 16, 2003, 11:58:16 PM

The Tonight Show has a Celebrity Jeopardy! parody tonight with Jay Leno hosting "Arnold Schwarzenegger" (ironically, it was the real Ah-huld who announced his successful California governor bid on Tonight), "Martha Stewart" and Gilbert Gottfried as "John" (sorry, didn't get his name!) YOU FOOLS!

     100 plus 100 equals 600?
 
      We want some more pro wrestling (STILL) and NASCAR questions!

 Ol' Gilbert was playing the role of John Edward, a "medium" in every sense of the word. Sean Connery he wasn't.

The woman playing Martha Stewart almost looked like Marianne Curan.  I know she does impressions and at least at one point fancied herself to be a comic actress.  Anybody know whether it was her?

While I didn't see the sketch in question (I was flicking back and forth between Dave and the Boston/NY Yankees game), I do know that Curan has done an impression of Martha Stewart previously (when she was promoing WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN) so it very well could've been her.

If no one saw it, it's on again next Thursday overnight for most of the nation.

Well, she has been in a couple of films and did improv elsewhere before moving to LA.  Here's her IMDB page (http://\"http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0192596/\") (and yes, I know the limitations of the IMDB).

Thanks for the link!  Is Celeb J! a regular feature?  It seems like a actor-heavy version of Carson's Carnac skit -- a good way to use that humor device.
