You're watching NBC, America's Late Night Leader...

It's the Tonight Show with Jay Leno! |   
|
Jay: 'It's now time for our 2nd participant from Brooklyn, New York. Please welcome Leo Filatov!'
|
|
Jay: 'Leo, did I say your name correctly? Filatov?'
Leo: 'No. LeoNID, FiLAtov!'
|
  
|
Jay (miffed): 'Of course...' (audience laughed)
|
Jay, bemused: 'Now, you're obviously from Brooklyn, New York...'
|
'... Where were you from originally |
|
Leo: 'I was from Russia, I was born in Siberia.'
Jay: 'Siberia!'
Leo: 'Yes, sir.'
|
Jay: 'That would explain the long-sleeved... undershirt!' (audience guffawed)
|
Leonid glanced down at his shirt.. |
Jay: 'Now eh, what are you gonna do to impress Mr Ed Asner? I think Mr Ed Asner is well-known in Siberia, yes? I lot of his films played there.. ?'
|
Leo: 'Yeah, Yeah... SANTA!' (spoofing Asner in his 'santa' role)
|
|
|
Jay Leno to Ed Asner: 'Good impression of you!'
|
Jay to Leonid: 'Alright, what is it you're gonna do to impress Mr Ed Asner?'
|
Leo, in all seriousness: 'I create special workout for people who have flat butt!' |
  
Jay, not sure he's heard correctly: 'You create special workout for peole who have flat butt?!?'
Ed looked on incredulously.
|
Leo: 'Yes, and I'm calling it.. ASS HOOP!'
|
Jay: 'You're calling it what?!? Ass WHIP?'
Leo: 'HOOP!' |
|
Jay: 'Oh, HOOP! Ass-Hoop! I'm sorry!'
|
Leonid proceeded to disrobe,..
|
.. to excited wolf-whistles from the audience! |
Jay to the audience: 'Mr Asner appears to be getting excited already!'
|
oh, oh, the next-to-last shred of clothing was being removed..
|
Jay to Ed: 'Aren't you glad you came on now?'
Ed replied: 'Yeah, I really am!' |
As the drums rolled, Leonid got into position.
|
Ed looked on with dazed fascination..
|
.. as Leonid performed his brazenly stupefying act with deft adroitness..
|
As Leonid engaged the audience, Jay looked at them, flabbergasted.
|
Leonid finished his act in a flourish..
|
.. posed with a sultry, smoldering pout directed at the hosts ..
|
  
... and proceeded to pat his delectable derriere energetically!
|
The audience shrieked in wild delight!
|
Ed looked perplexed & flummoxed.. |
  
|
Jay to audience: 'Well, let's find out if that impressed Ed Asner!'
|
Ed to Jay: 'You know, I've done Shakespeare!'
|
Meanwhile Leonid has moseyed up close to Asner, ...
Jay, alarmed, exclaimed: 'Now, now, that's.... !' |   
Jay looked on speechlessly as Leonid did his thing..
|
Ed was made to cop a feel of Leonid's delectable derriere--lucky one!
|
As Jay stood stumped for words, Ed exclaimed: 'Soft!' |   
|
Jay to Leonid: 'You know, you should go on American Idol!'
|
Jay asked: 'Did that impress Ed Asner?'
|
Ed Asner: 'How can I not be impressed??!'
Jay excitedly to audience: 'He was impressed!!' |   
Jay: 'Thank you, thank you Leo!'
Ed: 'Let's take no buts from him!'
|
Later in the show, Teri Hatcher enthused:
'I thought I'd better do something to top that
... hulahoop guy!! Whoa! That was something!'
|
Jay Leno: 'Yeah, yeah! That was something!' |
