Summaries

  • Johnny shows American products as they are packaged in other countries. Jay Leno talks about misunderstandings with his parents and his automotive mishaps; Jaleel White (Family Matters (1989)). Also: The Oak Ridge Boys perform.
  • The comedy segment is foreign products based on U.S. products, inspired by some real products with different packaging - including a box of Trix cereal from Iraq featuring Saddam Hussein's picture next to the Trix rabbit, an Indonesian Pepsi can, and a Soviet edition of Monopoly. Jay Leno only does an interview - he tells a story about his 80-year-old father getting an extended 30-year warranty on new windows; Johnny recalls that his father found a Polaroid camera too confusing, and Leno relates how his parents often get mixed up about the various places he performs. They talk about various old cars they have owned, and Leno then tells how he recently put a fire extinguisher system in his Ford Cobra and then accidentally activated it while driving on the Ventura Freeway. He then talks about being recognized by recent immigrants. The Oak Ridge Boys perform. Jaleel White comes out with ice cream he made without using rock salt - a point of debate when he had been on with Leno as host; Johnny compliments it. Since White is a sports fan, Johnny gives him a shirt he received from Magic Johnson. Asked about his success, White said he doesn't have access to the money he's earned. He enjoys cooking and collecting trading cards. Johnny reads a tabloid article about screaming fans tearing off his clothes in a store's changing room, but he says it is untrue. He also says he admires Ron Howard and would like to follow his example, becoming a director. Johnny announces at the end of the show that stage manager Kevin Quinn is getting married over the coming weekend; Johnny offers him marriage counseling.—lenab9011
