What does John Melendez do?    Back to the homepage
Views: 3024 Report
After Jay Leno's intorduction and stand up commentary, when he breaks for commercials, he always says "say hi to John Melendez and Kevin Eubanks." What the hell does John Melendez do for the show? He is always just sitting on a chair hanging out. Why does Jay introduce him every night?

Anonymous (10/19): it's a mistery. even is he does sketches why the hell he's introduced for?? that gay guy also does correspondent stuff and he's much more funny than Melendez... (report)
Anonymous (6/2): I arrived here after typing "what does john melendez do?" into google finally. I've wondered this for so long, we'll never know guys. (report)
maf (6/11): It's a tradition that comes from the old Johnny Carson Tonight Show where he used to do the same with his announcer Ed McMahon. But Ed did more in the show, so it made sense to introduce him. The gossip is that Jay doesn't like John Melendez's bits so he's phased him out and all he does now is announce the show at the top. (report)
Anonymous (1/7): i was wondering for awhile about this also, john used to be on the howard stern show then got canned, now he just sits and waves when introduced by jay, he must have some good contract in place.. (report)
Anonymous (1/30): I also agree with everyone here, I don't think he does anything. I wish I had that job! (report)
Anonymous (2/17): Exactly... I occasionally watch the show, and it seems like a inside joke... Not the smartest thing for a national syndicated show... (report)
zed (4/25): John Melendez... wft? (report)
