I remember the one for Elliott. That night the audience was filled with military people. The wheel had the names of the branches of armed forces - Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, etc. He spun a wheel and would get a kiss from someone from that branch of the military. LAME. He was asking Elliott stupid questions then he said something to the effect that Elliott's girlfriend must be watching. (I'm sure she was.) LAME. Hopefully, Chikezie will be successful enough someday to be back on the show as a guest. Thanks for the clip, MJ. I had forgotten that he was supposed to be on until around midnight. Too late then.

When Scott Savol was on the show in Season 4, Leno had a food-related skit. I think this was to emphasize that Scott was overweight. At least Jay Leno has given Kellie Pickler some pretty good gigs, sending her out with a microphone and doing interviews. Very funny. I know that originally he was probably only trying to make fun of her, but she turned that around in her favor and even got a chance to promote her CD. http://thescottboard.com/AI4_TVnews.html

None of the Idol skits I've seen have been funny (excpet those involving Pickler of course) but it's a ton of exposure for them so I guess it's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. I honestly do wonder why Leno always goes the lame route when it comes to the Idols :dry_tb:

I didn't think the skit was funny but that's pretty typical for the booted off Idol skits on Leno. I still remember in Season 5 when he would have them spin a prize wheel and when they got excited it turned out to be something stupid....like Chris won a "pair of choppers" and it was 2 sets of chattering teeth :rolleyes_tb: I’m HONESTLY curious why some of you find this offensive or think of Chikeze as coming across as humiliated??

I find Letterman more so usually, but they both do it. Other parts of their shows can be very entertaining. But they both do do that. Too bad they didn't let him sing with the pippies at the very least but who knows what last min. arrangement was made. If enough complain perhaps he'll be back on to sing.

It's supposed to be some stupid imitation of those Geico commercials, I guess. I've seen lots of Idol contestants in skits on Jay Leno post-elimination, but this has to be the worst one of all.

You thought it was “embarassing?” Hmmm….Chikezie is lucky to be invited on Leno or anybody’s show. There’s nothing that says these shows HAVE to take an Idol as guest.

That doesn’t mean he deserves to be humiliated.

Unfortunately, he didn't get to sing...but neither did Sanjaya when he was on Letterman. And considering Chikezie was doing promos all day long it was a wonder that he made it to Leno's show -- maybe it was a last minute lineup? I doubt it was a preplanned visit. People -- lighten up.

There's already a blogosphere effort sending cam shots of giving the finger to Leno because of the way he overplayed ragging on Ryan Phillipe for playing a gay character. He went on and on and on with that too, and expected Ryan to play along with ridiculing gay people.
