Jay Leno's monologue 3/15: Did he cross the line?

[ckr]

I've got something stuck in my head from last night's monologue that just didn't sit right with me. I'm wondering if I'm being oversensitive or if he really did cross the line. What do you think?

He said that Kobe Bryant would be having some sort of hearing/court appearance soon and that it would be the first time he had come face to face with his accuser since the alleged attack. Then he said something about "Face to Face.... hmmm... from what I understand..." alluding to a s*xual position.

I was shocked and unnerved by this. Whether you believe the accuser is telling the truth or not, to joke about the position in which a woman is allegedly raped is IMO not funny.

What do you think?

It was in poor taste as is a lot of humor

In a way, yes Jay crossed the line.

I have been a Jay Leno Fan way back when he used to sub for Johnny. We even saw him to stand up in Milwaukee.

He used to say he prided himself by not doing jokes that were offensive to women. He said he would never cross that line or his wife and mom would be very upset.

I noticed in the last 2 years he has been crossing the line. To bad I can't find a direct quote or a recording and send it to him. (Reminding him about his pledge).
