So Jeremy Piven was on The Tonight Show yesterday and Leno and him pranked a poor page. Jay’s staff came up with a joke along with Piven that some person would meet and greet him and take him to the back stage area all while being recorded by the cameras. The page was told that this was part of the show. All that seems normal enough, but when they get back to the green room there is a plate of sushi there and the Entourage star goes ballistic because of his infamous case of mercury poisoning. After several minutes of cursing, it ends with Piven throwing the water from water bottle on the guy’s face. While I am sure most of it was scripted, I wonder how much of it really was.
BTW that actually is a great joke to play on Piven, you know having plates of sushi waiting for him.
