Last night, I did something fairly out of character: My television tuned into NBC between the hours of 10 and 11, when The Jay Leno Show happens to air. My reasoning was simple: Adam Lambert fans were tweeting me in droves, telling me to tune in and catch his performance. Considering I was watching The Nutcracker on PBS (Sidenote: It’s terrifying?), this decision came easily.

Lambert was his typical charming self, and seemed to have even the unlikeliest of faces — that being the giant one of Leno’s — under his spell.

But the REAL story on last night’s Leno was his interview via satellite with actor Jeff Bridges. It’s the kind of celebrity interview you so rarely see: Where the madcappyness remains intact for all the world to marvel at. He also brought to the table the sense of humor of a stoned 7th grader, which is secretly the most sophisticated kind.

Just how stoned? Take a listen to his favorite joke, for example, which is now ours as well:


Or his phobia, which involves both citrus fruits and human excrement:

He even threw in a VH1 reference as his guilty pleasure!

And really, who doesn’t enjoy watching Gary Busey? So, we would like to (gulp) thank Jay Leno for bringing these fascinating Jeff Bridges facts out into the open.
