Lance Bass Announcement Shocks Jay Leno

Jay Leno joked during his Tonight Show monologue on Wednesday night, “Well, in an exclusive with People magazine this week, former *NSYNC member Lance Bass announced he is gay. Of course, I was shocked. You mean the other guys in *NSYNC aren’t gay? I thought the whole band was gay. [Laughter] What, just one? Wow. … I guess when they were singing ‘Bye Bye Bye’ to all those screaming young girls they weren’t kidding. ‘Bye Bye Bye’. [Laughter] … No, he said he first knew he was gay when he realized his name was Lance Bass. That’s how he knew it. … Well, good luck to him. We like Lance.”
