HOLLYWOOD - Comedian Jay Leno followed his testimony at Michael Jackson's child molestationtrial with a tirade of jokes aimed at the pop star on his show May 24.
The TV personality--who once had a gag order placed on him, blocking him
from making jokes about the trial as he was on the defence team's witness list--took the stand yesterday, testifying that the BAD singer's teen accuser was "overly effusive" in their phone chats, making him suspicious.
And Leno traveled down from the Santa Maria, California, courthouse to his
studio in Burbank to film his Tonight Show--and poke fun at Jackson.
Leno said, "It was really odd walking into that courtroom... 'cause I
realized it was the first time I'd seen Michael since I was 12...Actually, there was one kind of embarrassing moment. When I took the stand they asked me to point to the defendant and I pointed to (Jackson's sister)
LaToya...
"I was surprised at how many children there were in the courtroom. Even the
sketch artist couldn't have been more than 11... You know what's amazing about
being in the same room with Michael Jackson? In person he almost looks
lifelike."
