Just in case you might be interested...

Update: Leno and his potsmoking preacher's-kid band leader Kevin Eubanks saw the movie Tuesday night. Leno's first half dozen jokes in the monologue were about the film, and, frankly, were pretty funny for the most part. (Especially the one about the single bag of popcorn being sufficient to feed the whole theater, and the other about the movie doing so well that they're thinking about bringing out a book. Get it? A Book.) Leno is rarely serious about anything, but I thought I detected a trace of sensitivity and respect even in his quips. Perhaps it's because Mel Gibson is coming on later. Perhaps it's something more. I'd like to think so.
