History

After Gladys Gurney died, she gave Marge her collection of potato chips that resembled celebrities, including one that resembled Jay Leno.

He booked Krusty the Clown for his comedy show, but Krusty failed to get a laugh.

In Moe's Tavern, Rupert Murdoch told Moe to put Jay Leno on. On the show, Leno commented that the president had said Iran had gotten hold of the most dangerous weapon known to man: the B.P. Oil rig. He then joked that he knew how to make the leak disappear—put it on NBC.

A picture of Jay Leno was seen on the wall in Springfield Sardi's.

Another picture of Jay Leno hung on the wall of The Penny Loafer.

Bart mentioned that he wanted to be the "Jay Leno of bikes," referring to Leno's extensive collection of vehicles.

He was also one of the many people on "Ned's List of Laudable Lefties."
