And so we say goodbye to another character totally inspired for and by, The Tonight Show's Jay Leno. I was on the phone to one of my friends at the time, and couldn't hear the intro, but as soon as it occurred to me that this was some sort of farewell, I hit record, and caught some of those funny bits on tape of Jay and assorted famous guests cooking with the fruitcake lady and then some of the more caustic remarks she made in response to questions from the "man in the street". I never knew her name, but I think Jay called her Marie, and as always, his short little tribute was the class act that we have come to expect from Mr.Leno.
So, let me add my two cents worth.
Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are!
OUI?
