 Chris Sligh and Little Richard
Tonight Chris Sligh was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, he did a very funny skit with Little Richard and Jay.
Watch the video Here. Thank you for the link Rebecca!
Below is a transcript of the show, soon we hope to have video of it.
Leno:
Now, how many of you actually watched American Idol last night? (smattering applause) Okay a lot of people? Oh, I thought it would be more than that. They are now down to nine contestants because one was voted off. Show that clip for those who didn't see it.
(Video of Chris Sligh's elimination plays)
Leno:
As you can see, Chris was eliminated. We felt bad for Chris and we invited him here tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, from Greenville, South Carolina......Chris Sligh! Chris come on out here!
(applause as Chris comes on stage)
Leno:
Now, I wanna explain. Chris Sligh is real American Idol contestant, not a paid celebrity.
Chris:
No (shakes head)
Leno:
So, to help tell his story.......(laughter) we've hired a real celebrity. Ladies and gentleman, Little Richard!!
(Little Richard is rolled out onto the stage. He's sitting on a golden throne on a wheeled platform wearing rhinestone covered shoes and a gold lame` tuxedo)
(applause and laughter)
Leno:
Now, now Chris what did you think when you found out you were in the bottom two.
Chris:
You know, to be honest with you Jay, I was just a tiny bit nervous
Little Richard:
(screaming) HELP ME! SOMEBODY HELP ME!
(laughter)
Leno:
Now Chris, you're not like the other idol contestants, you're more a man of girth.
Chris:
Yeah, you know, I said a couple times on the show, that, you know, I'm trying to bring chubby back.
Little Richard:
(screaming) MASHED POTATOES, GRAVY AND CRANBERRY SAUCE, WOOOOOOOOOOO!
(laughter)
Leno:
Now, one last question. What was your impression of Ryan Seacrest?
Chris:
You know, my honest impression of Ryan Seacrest is that he is a very, very nice man.
Little Richard:
(screaming) TOOTY-FRUITY OH RUDY!!
(applause and laughter)
Leno:
Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Sligh and Little Richard!
