Michael Jackson Trial Treated Like An Awards Show

Jay Leno joked during his Tonight Show monologue on Friday night, “As you may know, I’ve been called as a witness in the Michael Jackson trial. Why do people applaud that? See so many celebrities wind up in court now, people think it’s like an awards show. ‘Oh you got picked for that trial. Not doing that crappy Phil Spector trial…’ … As I’m sure you know, Michael Jackson left the hospital the other night and he’s doing great. He said he feels like a kid again. … Although Michael has gone home for the hospital. His doctors say he will ‘remain under observation’. Remain under observation? If he were under observation to begin with, none of this would’ve happened! We took our eye off the ball.”
