Dana On Leno!

by

Hello, again! Well, apparently technology doesn’t like me too much because The View didn’t tape. I’ll still be recapping Teri’s appearance tonight, though. For now? Let’s talk Dana Delaney!

She was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night and she was a blast, with several interesting tidbits coming out of the appearance. First off, she said the season officially wrapped on Tuesday, so she’s starting to travel again. Jay asked what her favorite place was. She said she likes Brazil the best because it’s a combination of sexy and innocent. She also revealed a new talent: trapeze work! A friend of hers was taping lessons and talked Dana into going with her. She said she actually did pretty well, although she was a bit hung over at the time of the lesson. Another interesting fact was she was originally offered the part of Bree on Housewives, but turned it down because the character was too similar to another one she had recently played. After a little guy talk (she’s single, but dating), Jay told her he had an old laundry detergent commercial of hers to play from 1985.

Before she’d let him play it, she said there was a funny story behind that one. As they were filming the commercial, she noticed something crawling in the guy’s hair. He responded with “I thought I got rid of those….” Later on, she ends up coming down with them because the stylist had used the same brush on both of them, which she then passed on to then-boyfriend Treat Williams. Well, come to find out that the guy from the commercial was actually gay and after she told him what had happened, the guy started telling people he gave them to Treat Williams. Jay Leno called it “the best story every told on the tonight show.” It was also the last commercial that Dana ever did. After she told her story, he played the commercial.

And there you have it: Dana Delaney on the Tonight Show. Til now, I hadn’t seen her do an interview before. Now that I have, she’s one of my favorites. Can Teri Hatcher bring it later tonight? We’ll see! For now, have a great weekend and don’t forget the new episode on Sunday night.
