well this is the thing that was on the uh tonight show with jay leno where they do the little headlines thing that's right and and so the whole idea from the movie came from the tonight show yes well no i mean we don't give them the credit forget it we're not that's fair that's fair i think more people made fun of it you know it wasn't they didn't cre they didn't write it it's a real real guy
