The NBC talk show “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” has repeatedly smeared priests and Catholics should object, said the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights.
The April 29 episode of the show had a skit about the royal wedding in the United Kingdom. The stage personality Dame Edna pretended to be a British correspondent at the event and was shown taking secret footage while host Jay Leno pretended to be speaking with her live.
Dame Edna approached a vendor selling a cheese called “Stinking Bishop.”
To this, the actor responded “Stinking Bishop? My son toyed with the priesthood. Or perhaps it was the other way around.”
