Transcript

Jay Leno visits Western Carolina University By Gary Takacs WCnewsmagazine Jay Leno is equally as witty, funny and sharp as one could expect the hardest working man in Hollywood to be. In addition to his Emmy award- winning show, The Tonight Show, Jay Leno collects cars and motorcycles; he works closely with his Nobel Prize nominated wife, Mavis Leno, charities and other organizations. Just a few years ago, he set up a scholarship program in memory of his fourth grade teacher who inspired him to write his jokes down. This is in addition to working with fundraisers and benefits, making appearances at college campuses around the nation and entertaining troops overseas. Looking calm and relaxed on his couch, Jay sparked off a few jokes, commented on a gentlemans fly being down (to which the gentleman thought Jay was joking with him...he wasnt) In true Jay fashion, his humor continued throughout the 30 minute interview. After a few more jokes and comments, Jay was ready to talk. WC: It has been said that youre the hardest working man in Hollywood. What is your typical day like? Leno: I get to work about 80clock, have the news on and we're (he and the writing team) sort of writing jokes. Some star didnt want M& M's in their dressing room, etc.; you have all those little stupid things, but you just sort of write jokes all day long, and try to get all of your problems taken care of by show time. Then we do the show, go out and do the walk around from 7-9p.m. then | go back home. | do the monologue from maybe 10-1 at night because you try to have half of the monologue done before you go to bed so that you at least have a basis to start with the next day and then you just add jokes through the day. Its not hard; its just time consuming. You gotta write the jokes. WC: How many people do you interview for your Jaywalking segment? Leno: Sadly, not more than 15 or 16 people, and we wind up using 9 of them. My hand to God, those are real. Something happens to the human brain between the ages of 18-35. Kids in the 8" grade, they know everything; over 40, Kendo Club By Maegan Cleckley * WCnewsmagazine Are you interested in Ancient sport? Tradition? Discipline? Then you should check out WCUs Kendo Club! Headed by Masafumi Takeda and President, Matte Christison, this new activity has already attracted a significant group of people. While there are numerous styles and types of Japanese martial arts, kendo is one of the oldest forms. Before kendo became a sport shortly after the 1600s, it was simply a utilization of sword fighting techniques. Mr. Takeda, who teaches the sport, began learning kendo when he was in third grade. By the time he was a sophomore in high school, he began teaching kendo to elementary school children and continued this instruction for six years. He held private lessons with club president, Matte, over the summer to help him prepare for his role in the organization. Members of the Kendo Club will possibly give a demonstration during International Education Week this year. There will also hopefully be more demonstrations during the spring semester, which mightinclude sparring matches. In the distant future, after the training has become more efficient, there are hopes Jay Leno visits with WC reporter Gary Takacs WCnewsmagazine they know everything. My favorite one - we asked people, how Mt. Rushmore was formed. What do you think the most common answer | got was? Erosion! So not only did the wind and the rain pick four American presidents, but they picked the four greatest! WC: What is your favorite part of the job? Leno: Telling the jokes is the most fun part. The hardest part is writing the jokes. The hardest part is when you have a situation like a Hurricane Katrina, a 911 or a plane crash; we have to go out there and acknowledge that something happened. When theres a terrible tragedy, you take the audience into fantasy stuff. You tell jokes about commercials, lifestyles, etc. When you have a situation like the Jet Blue story (where the plane landed, the wheel fell off and no on was hurt) then you have a field day! WC: If you could trade jobs with anyone, who would it be and why? Leno: | like this job; it suits me pretty well. It's write joke, tell joke, get check, and it's pretty simple. Jay Leno grew up in a small town in New England, so spending time in Cullowhee wasnt nearly as tragic as some current students feel. He says people in rural areas are polite; they come up to him and have a normal conversation. He also said that hes not a smoker, a drinker or a party kind of guy. To him, theres not a lot to do in a big city. Throughout the interview, Jay spoke about various topics; at one point he said, Showbiz is like college. You go to where it is, hang out there for about three or four years, do your undergraduate work, and find out what agents are real and whos a crook. If you like doing this [comedy] dont be in a hurry. | never took a gig for the money. | always took it because | liked doing it and then if you're any good you'll make it eventually, dont worry. If youre going into it to try and get rich, it doesnt really work out. When asked about his thoughts on opening such an important building, Jay stated, It's an honor. This is a real Performing Arts Center. Its nice, obviously a nice location. I'll spread the word when | get back to town. of traveling to Raleigh or Charlotte to participate in sparring matches. The Kendo Club meets every Monday and Wednesday from 9:30-11 pm and Sunday from 7:30-9 pm in Reid gym and will soon begin meeting Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-11 pm in Ramsey. Pe nS eS as Tee sf A
