Funny and so sad!

my wife says the same thing

Does she have an available sister?

A "chef" is an official title either gained from certification or, at least
a more focused set of classifications--- while "artist" is not as far as I know.

Artist is an "official" title too, gained in various ways. Degrees and Doctorates are acquired in Fine Arts, Graphic Arts, Graphic Design, etc. However, the titles would be different than just "Artist". Though they have earned the right to label themselves as just plain "Artist" as well.

One could just throw dog crap at an oscalating fan, with no degree or art training, and call themselves an "Artist" I suppose.. same with any cook claiming to be a Chef or someone explaining something to another calling themselves a Teacher. Labels are a bit subjective, but the there are some who have earned them more than others.. like a Professor for example.

Or they could be a "heavily talented" "art-maker" who thinks they deserve
the "title" or "label"...and that range is part of what defines my point.

And, as such, I think I'm pretty much agreeing with you here:

I have to believe that they did find people that answered correctly, but that wouldn't be funny.

I can't believe how many people here think this is real.

Every person in the US know's Jay's routine.

The people that answer stupidly know they're going to be put on TV - that's why they do it.

I have NEVER watched Jay Leno on the Tonight Show, so I wouldn't know.

No, Jay's show is not that popular that every person would know Jay's routine.

"Jay Leno Logs His Worst Tonight Show Ratings Since '93: This is either a sign that late night television is cannibalizing itself, less people are watching live TV or America just doesn’t think Jay Leno is as funny as he used to be — or all three!" -- movieline.com

"By mid-2010, The Tonight Show reached the lowest ratings since 1992, an average of 4 million total viewers." -- wikipedia.org

Most of those people shown in these bits do not know the answers. Heck, my son knew more than my wife on those 4th of July questions. People are not as engaged in learning anymore. Sad but true.
