Not a vid snippet–in fact, nary a word–of Jay Leno’s monologue joke with footage of Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Dave Briggs allegedly checking out the derrieres of Ainsley Earhardt and Janice Dean. On the very day that F&FW extensively covered Jay Leno’s Tonight Show sendoff last night, F&FW co-anchors, Clayton Morris, Alisyn Camerota, and Dave (understandably) kept conspicuously silent on the infamous incident which aired earlier this week on Leno’s show. Incredible!
Just when F&FW seemed to be back on course, F&FW took this lame tack. It lost its nerve and verve today. Not a good omen of things to come.
Tomorrow?

I was waiting for them to punk Briggs with the vid but it never came. Even emailed them about it.

Lurker, F&FW did finally show the vid and rib Dave on the After the Show Show yesterday. Dave’s take on what he really was doing is found in Carpe Diem’s “Dave’s Tale: What Tail?”

[...] course, Jay Leno had quite a bit of fun with that episode. And, a bit too much for co-host Dave Briggs’ comfort. Apparently, perhaps, for Bill Shine, FNC Senior Veep of [...]
