Mel Gibson to help Jay Leno bid adieu to 'The Tonight Show'

Categories: Television

Mel Gibson will be stopping by Jay Leno’s Tonight Show on May 25 for the comedian’s final Monday night performance. According to People.com, the actor, who recently dominated headlines due to his high-profile divorce from his wife of 29 years, will join musician Lyle Lovett on the show. It will mark Gibson’s first public outing since the divorce was made public. Whether or not he’ll talk about the split will be another matter.

Other guests for Jay’s final week include Dwight Yoakam and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on May 26; Wanda Sykes and Sarah McLachlan on May 27; and Prince and Billy Crystal on May 28. Guests for his final show have yet to be announced.

    No disrespect to these guests, but I would think for Leno’s last week, they would give him Bigger stars. Mel Gibson? When’s the last hit movie he’s been in? Wanda?
    Again, no disrespect to these guest..but I expected bigger. By the way, Prince is great choice.

    What should he do hide under his bed and never leave the house. Hey I’m not a fan of everything Gibson’s done in his personal life but he is human and makes mistakes. Some will never forgive his drunkin tirade but some will. He does good work and doing leno’s last show is a good PR move.

    Mel Gibson is a hypocritical, conniving scum bag. Mr. Catholic has been cheating on his wife for year, paying her off to keep things quiet. Yep. Do the research for yourself. The divorce is because he started flaunting it in her face, sleeping with the girl under their roof. Anyone who dismisses this man’s actions, really needs to reevaluate his/her own values. One can’t cherry pick morals.

    Are people nowadays so devoid of forgiveness, generosity, compassion and kindness to support someone in their darkest moments? Aren’t all religions meant to be based on unconditional love? So when unconditional love is needed most, why is it so difficult to find? Ghandi said: “Lets forgive; an eye for an eye just leaves the whole world blind”. Mel is going through a bad time in his life and it’ll take him a while to work things out. Let him do it in private. God bless Mel, his family, his friends and his enemies.
