Outrageous Americans (and American Education)

Yes, this funny, but it is also said. What a commentary on the "ignorant American." For now, I will choose to believe that Leno had to tape for about 2 hours before finding people who don't know what the 4th of July celebrates, or who America won its independence from.

  2. Good point. But we don't know for sure.

    Al, could you get Jay on your show as guest? Then you could ask him.

  3. Unlikely - although it's worth a phone call to a producer to at least ask the question. I'll do that and report back.

  4. Here's another thing. It appears that these people have not eaten from the tree of knowledge. I bet they are happier than those of us who have.
