Jay Leno Stumps New Yorkers, Celebrities vs Politics ‘Jaywalking’

Getting to the bottom of it! Jay Leno stopped by Us Weekly earlier this month to chat about his partnership with Amgen to launch Cholesterol 911 Opens a New Window. before he took his former “Jaywalking” segment to the streets of New York City to see if the general public were more informed about politics or celebrities.

"Who's the speaker of the house?" --- "My dad." -- Awesome!

[@melotone3305]

Yeah, I'd give her points for that. Plus they had the best personalities of the bunch.

[@SK-ck9qu]

Technically she is correct. Leno didn't specify that the house to which he referred in the question, was the house of representatives. So, she assumed her own house.

[@TheRafark]

Lmao

[@carly4513]

She was adorable.

[@christines9227]

@@hope2029 you had the government you deserved. So dontya be complaining

[@rickprusak9326]

And for 4 lousy years, we got bent over the desk and ripped in the ass from Orange Face Clown. Yep, dumb Hillbilly's got what government in the White House they deserved.

Indeed he is. I greatly miss his version of the tonight show.

[@pacosanandresbukid4424]

Funny as ever. Love Leno!

[@markuse3472]

"My dad" is the speaker of the house. Good answer at 3:57

[@goofyone4043]

Speaker of The House...My Dad! That will make me chuckle all day😅

[@mostafahassan6909]

I actually didn't know almost anything about the celebrities :-)

[@davidhall2197]

"My dad." Little girl went home to find a sizable gift certificate to Nordstrom.

[@fredflintstoner596]

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view ! " Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?

[@stevelaferney3579]

We’re in a whole lot of trouble, folks. Thanks Jay. : )

[@I.____.....__...__]

Don't forget, these are edited. They cut out the ones that give correct answers and only show the ones that give funny answers. It might be bad, but it's not _as_ bad as it seems. 🤷

[@joezullo7792]

Great to see those two young women. Smart, sharp, personable, funny, sensibly dressed, with little or no make-up. There is yet hope for humanity.

[@koitorob]

Is it bad that a 55 year old guy in England knows more about American politics than Americans?

[@kabouterwesley83]

The weirdest part is that I know more about American politics than I do about my national (Dutch) politics.

[@mancebo7]

Make that: "Is it bad that ANYONE IN THE WESTERN WORLD knows more about American politics than Americans?"🤣

[@lasvegasvegas4236]

It's expected.

[@salvadorricardojimenez5401]

Then again, a lot of people are nosy & know other people's business more than their own. American media influence is also probably more worldwide than everyone else's too though.

[@georgejob2156]

I hold Merits in the Political System of the U.S. I was told while there I knew more about America than the average American. I am Scottish. Oh! Dear!

[@Guotshol2024]

My mom was the speaker of the house.

We are in so much trouble!

[@zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz9]

[@Brandon-wo2tz]

It's undeniably shocking how many people lack basic common knowledge

[@DavoZed]

The real shock is that many / most of these people are voting with ZERO knowledge of the issues.

[@Brandon-wo2tz]

@@DavoZed it's just like what George Carlin once said. If you have selfish ignorant citizens they're going to elect selfish ignorant leaders.

[@hope2029]

[@stevefarris9433]

If ignorance equals happiness the USA must be full of happy people.

[@I.____.....__...__]

And yet, Scandinavia ranks higher in happiness. Tibet even measures their country's success with an actual happiness-index. USA #1! Sort of… not really. 🤷

[@hope2029]

Those girls were smarter than the rest of them overall. Love this answer---- Who is Speaker of the House? My Dad!! Smart girl😀she will go far.

[@djguapo]

I miss Jaywalking and Headlines! They’ve tried to copy those on the Jimble Kimble and Ellen Degeneres shows but it’s not the same and in many times, fake.

[@dwlopez57]

What is that? It's a magazine

[@Niemey27]

When you are on TV, the best thing you could do is to play with your phone for the whole time trying to make a selfie 😀

[@hchowky]

It's so sad Jay Leno had to be on such a low budget channel, especially the guy with the phone was an insult to the Legend Jay Leno

[@hwb-zalpach]

illustration to modern society

[@nicomeier8098]

"This is shy we have to pay out teachers more money". LMAO . BTW: don't pay them teachers more, get better teachers!

[@celticlofts]

And you'll only attract people into teaching when you pay them better money. Catch 22.

[@rickprusak9326]

You can't pay enough money to teachers who have a classroom full of dumbass's who are products of family inbreeding or born to alcoholics, drug users, and brain dead Zombies. For decades, people from other countries have referred to us as "Dumb Americans." Any wonder why? Look who we vote as a majority for public office. Either local, state, and country office. Look who walks the sidewalks of our society. The only main concern "Americans" are paying attention to is guns, tattoos, beer, porn, and shacking up. Creating babies without marriage certificates. Bastard children born to Bastard baby makers. That's why American is a laughing stock nation to other countries around the world.

[@michaelcondon8510]

Jay missed a wonderful opportunity to compliment the WIT of the 14 year old, (I think the lady in the background videoing it is her mother), with a big hug after Jay asked her and her friend, "Who is the Speaker of the House". Her maturity and confidence the way she looked Jay in the eyes and said, "My DAD", was impressive to say the least. And how about the peer moment when she put Jay on the spot; "would you know the answers to the questions if we asked you the questions"? Loved it. There's still hope for America. I have to comment on the attractive lady's personality. I'd listen to her read a phone book. If the world could have her personality, what a wonderful world it would be. lol :)

[@cesarregalado3420]

[@teesrakinara]

If a plane is flying smoothly and take you to your destination every time, you wouldn't care who's flying it. That's what I understand as non American living other part of the world after watching this video.

[@danieljakubik3428]

Jay is funny, but people are dumb.

The so called’Super Power’ is anywhere between 27th and 37th on the World League of Education level! Now, even if you count it as 27th, that’s staggering and scary altogether! How is it even possible to be this stupid? As my 16 year old daughter kindly pointed out “ The reason Americans celebrate a so called GRADUATION CEREMONY at 16 when they leave High School, is because they haven’t got a hope in hell of going to University “! Europe have jumped on this stupid bandwagon, this continent only recognises a “graduate “ who deserves the title and ceremony, P.S. Americans please note- community college doesn’t count!

So what do you do? Sit down and cry.... My 3rd graders could label correctly major cities, 12 capitols, 7 major rivers (loved Monongahela), 5 mountain ranges (Appal., Ozarks, Blue Rid., Rockies, etc) on a blank map. Much literature was centered around these places. Of course, they knew Independence, KANSAS! Shame on those who aren't teaching - and those who are teaching "the wrong stuff"!!
