Halle Berry was a guest on The Tonight Show and Jay Leno asked her about smoking pot with Tom Hanks. So she wanted to know if the NBC late night host ever got high with Mary Jane? He was very insistent that he is “not a pot smoker.” She asked him several times but he kept saying no as though it was the worst thing ever. In fact he told her he was always the designated driver while he friends enjoyed some grass.
I think in those :54 seconds we learned more why Leno is the way is than anything else we knew about him before. Maybe if he took an occasional hit and let loose, he would be a much more relaxed host and wouldn’t take the job that belonged to someone else like he has done in the past? And more importantly his voice might also be a little bit deeper.
