This is one of the reasons why I used to watch late night talk shows. I don't anymore. No one is funny. Everything is political and mean. Whoever posted this, thank you so very much!!!
Leno made fun of all presidents. But he never was mean and, above all, never made you think you are an enemy / fool / evil for not sharing his politics. In fact I don't know his politics. Which is good.
Best part of the show for an old proofreader. I always worried one of my jobs would pop up. Not that I made mistakes. LOL. Seth Meyers' "Corrections" is small beer compared to Headlines and Jaywalking.
Back in the 90s, my sister and I went to Waldenbooks to purchase one of Leno's Headlines books for our brother. She began reading it aloud on the way home. We were laughing so hard we were crying, and I had to pull off of the road so I wouldn't cause an accident.
Don't you love when that happens? You're with someone whose humor is in tune with yours, and the joy you share is almost magical. Ah, laughter. The gift that keeps on giving.
My last name was Smelley, a family friend married an Assman. That's who i should've married. Then I would be Smelley Assman! I still laugh everytime I think about it!!😂😂
West of Seattle, closer to Port Angeles is "kitchen dick road". Huge sign right on on the highway letting you know it's the next intersection. I truly can't believe there was some other name available. 😂
The Late, Great, humorist Reverend Grady Nutt talked about that one. (He jokes that he grew up in the Nutt House, and now he runs one.) He is squeaky clean too. His stories can be played at church.
Back in the 80s, I worked in a department store- a woman handed me her credit card and the name on it was Sandra Claus. I looked at her and just said "Sandy Claus?" I could barely keep from smiling. She just said "It's my married name!"
I met a woman who submitted her own wedding. Because her maiden name was Wang and her married name is Decock. She told me all about it ending up on this segment. She was proud of it.
I'm guessing very few kids were teased in school because of those names. These clips wouldn't have been available to those peoples kids until many years later, and how may kids know the other kids mother's maiden names?
@Secretagent71114 The NBC official website used to have an archive of these, Headlines (flyer/advertisement misprints) as well as Jaywalking. That went away around 2012-ish.
I can guess the wedding dinner menu at the Wiener-Burger reception. Let's hope they had hotdogs and hamburgers, 'cuz that name combo is just too good not to.
THIS segment was an absolute hoot 😂 It's funnier when it's her name first. 🧐 Some starch is taken out of the gag when it's listed with HIS name first. The gag works if it's HER name first 🤔only because of this: what if she uses her maiden name and married name?
My fifth grade teacher’s maiden name was Folger. One day, in the middle of a lesson, she told us that she *almost* married a man with the surname of Koffe.🤭
God, I miss “Headlines”, “Jaywalking”, and these wedding announcements. I didn’t really stick around for the rest of the show, but these segments were hilarious!
I notice how those newspapers purposely put the names in order for them to sound funny, like sometimes the male first, sometimes the female. They know what they're doing 🤣
True story. Worked for a company and a Chinese engineer was sent in to help assemble some new machines. He handed me his business card. His name was Short Wang. I almost lost it right there.
There's so many more I remember: Bunn-Fullilove Butt-Driver Getz-Nipple Johnson-Holder Annis-Flame Green-Wiener Johnson-Muncher Salter-Fries Gay-Leno (his face was absolutely priceless!) Little-Wiener Schoenoffer-Hole I can go on and on. The wedding headlines were priceless!
in Florida late 90's my friend had one he got from the Florida Today newspaper Swallows//Cox wedding he cut that out and Framed it, and hung it on his living room wall
I had the Dicks Head wedding and my cousin had the Moore Dicks wedding... and yes you have to have a sense of humor to have that name. When I got married one side of the family had my cousin Harry Dicks and the other side I picked up an uncle Dick Head.
I was friends with someone, but they spelled their last name Dix. Her father's name was Richard. He went by Dick, so Dick Dix. Then, there is the famous Dick Trickle.
This surprises me also as I remember seeing it recently. It’s tough to keep track of all the clips sometimes though so some good ones may get missed but I’ll get it into a future video! 👍🏻
@@dakinayantv3245 lol, many people apparently. Fun “fact”: it’s an Americanized version of a Dutch name. Something like 95% of all outhouses are white 😁
I was doing genealogy for my nieces. They have ancestors where a Beer and Hrdlicka got married. Many of their descendants are alcoholics for some reason.
I used to love this segment on his shows.

@@PilpelAvital Johnny Carson was the exact same way. I wish those days would return.
😂I forgot how hilarious these were!! I needed a good laugh. Thank you!
I remember one of Jay’s headlines being the Sal-Minella wedding!
Don 't eat the fish. Or the chicken.
😂😂😂
I always liked Leno's headlines!!!

I had the whole set. He donated all of his royalties to pediatric AIDS research.
Wait a minute! There are books of funny headlines?! OH BOY!!!
@@mezipe6429 I imagine they’re all out of print now, though.
@@smittykins we'll see
My favorite of all time was in the 1980s: The Hiscock-Hertz wedding.
Was that from the Johnny Carson days?
@@Michael_Knight823 It was not on TV, in print.
I hope he saw a doctor.
So funny !!😂😂
😂😂😂
My last name was Smelley, a family friend married an Assman. That's who i should've married. Then I would be Smelley Assman! I still laugh everytime I think about it!!😂😂
You'd also be a good fit for Boris Johnson 😁
😂😂😂 For two people to meet and fall in love is a kind of miracle. For them to have names that make a kind of match, is astounding.
Yep. I knew a couple named Bacon, and her maiden name was Hamm. We always laughed about that.
Last guy I actually laughed at on late night TV...
Same!
Me as well
I remember in the 1970's a headline that referenced the Illinois cites the couple were from "Oblong man marries Normal woman"
West of Seattle, closer to Port Angeles is "kitchen dick road". Huge sign right on on the highway letting you know it's the next intersection. I truly can't believe there was some other name available. 😂
It was in the Bloomington Pantagraph.
The Late, Great, humorist Reverend Grady Nutt talked about that one. (He jokes that he grew up in the Nutt House, and now he runs one.)

I was laughing so hard i almost had a seizure. I miss Jay.
If I had been in the studio audience during these segments I probably would’ve injured myself from the muscles I stretched while laughing so w!
A lady my mom knew, MARY, married a guy named Bob Christmas... True story. Mary Christmas thought it was cute.😖
Back in the 80s, I worked in a department store- a woman handed me her credit card and the name on it was Sandra Claus. I looked at her and just said "Sandy Claus?" I could barely keep from smiling. She just said "It's my married name!"
I knew a lady who's married name was Candy Parlor.
We have a doctor named Merry Christmas here in Minnesota.
@@juliamenz6137 Isn't her name "Mary"? Or does she spell it Merry? Thanks for the comment 👍
I thought she spelled it Merry. I saw a news story on her a while back. I could be wrong though. My memory is getting old along with the rest of me! 😂
Seeman-Sample, come on! What are you two doing??? 😂
I mean, who doesn't see that?
If my mum had used her maiden name when she married my stepfather, it would have been the Dollar-Hoare wedding!
Can you imagine sitting at home and your wedding announcement ends up on TV
I was always waiting for an actual newspaper wedding Headline to give a heads up and say: “Here you go Jay”
I met a woman who submitted her own wedding. Because her maiden name was Wang and her married name is Decock. She told me all about it ending up on this segment. She was proud of it.
I remember Jay announced the Strong - Gass wedding !!!
Alex, I'll take women that won't be hyphenating for $500
Perfect! 😂🤣😂
I would totally hyphenate my name if it were Jägermeister. That's a conversation starter. The rest, no. You have a point.
@@jenx5870 Absolutely! If ever there was a good reason to hyphenate your name, that has to be the number one reason.
Don't you mean "Ken"? Alex Trebek passed away in 2020. Jeopardy champion, Ken Jennings, took over as host.
@@CanadaDragon1 nope. Statement needs to stand. The humor is still great and it honors someone who became an icon.
Video fails without the Weiner-Wakoff wedding, which had my roommate and me laughing to the point of tears.
My mom's maiden name is Rainwater...she married my dad and his last name is Bywater 😂
😂
Brilliant!! When I lived in the states I used to love these. You really couldn't make them up.
That Kevin laugh at 4:32 is priceless 😂
Eubanks dared Leno to make him laugh. That's why he's such a big celebrity now. On the short list to replace Pat Sajak.💀
These poor people! 😂 I wonder how many remained married, how many of their children were teased in school for this
I'm guessing very few kids were teased in school because of those names. These clips wouldn't have been available to those peoples kids until many years later, and how may kids know the other kids mother's maiden names?
@@JeffDeWittwhy would you not know your mother's maiden name? Do you not have cousins, grandparents, etc?
@@Plethorality Of course I do, but why would other kids know MY mother's maiden name?
Last names are out of style in a diverse society.
Love how these build momentum!
This video missed the famous Butts-McCrackin wedding.
I MISS LENO ON T.V.!
Me Too
Omfg I was laughing from beginning to end!
Jay Leno, one of the most humurous host in the history of TV.
Jay was very funny😂
Back when the internet wasn’t needed for quick laughs.
There was a Koch-Roach wedding announced by Jay too.
Jay, it's 2024... please come back to late night television.
No network will have him. He isn't a democrat slave.
Letterman's not around for Jay to steal skits from.
@@denniswinters2541 No, maybe he's busy nailing his staffer. He never had the prestige of Johnny & Jay. Definitely not Tonight Show level.
Wang Holder is my favorite. Burger Weiner is a close 2nd. 😂😂
And of course Large-Tinkey (2:44) just so happens to be from Beaver Falls.
This was always one of my favorite segments on that show - so funny 😁. Thanks for putting this together 👍👏
Once I stumbled across a genealogy of a Pigg-Butts. They should’ve opened a BBQ joint.
When I was a kid I was told my relative's wedding announcement made it on Leno. I've looked but have never found the clip. Boyles-Hickey
@Secretagent71114 The NBC official website used to have an archive of these, Headlines (flyer/advertisement misprints) as well as Jaywalking. That went away around 2012-ish.
I remember that one! They had the names reversed though
Rudolph-Horney to Wed. Both really great people to work with, Cheryl and Rick
I remember when Kevin was really laughing, at the White-Folks wedding and it had a photo of two black people !! 😊
My partner and I laughed ourselves silly over that one, mainly because Jay and Kevin was laughing just as hard. We saved that one.
It’s in part 2 of this video, just saw it 😂
Of all of these that is my favorite wedding headline.
I can guess the wedding dinner menu at the Wiener-Burger reception. Let's hope they had hotdogs and hamburgers, 'cuz that name combo is just too good not to.
I know, right??
Miss his show.
I love how Jay was building and building during that one clip!
Truth is stranger than fiction.
I miss those days when talk shows were funny entertaining and not political propaganda.
Yeah funny like Fox News
You can't even keep politics out of it, huh?
Looks like some delicate snowflakes here🥱 2 comments 26 likes hmm. Yea!
I ᴀɢʀᴇᴇ❤
I was working at Albertsons in the 80’s. Girl I hired name was
Ura Pig. Her sisters name was Ima Pig 🎉
Oh my gosh! They should have taken their parents to court over that😮
I remember seeing a "Messer-Self" wedding announcement at my ex's synagogue
I worked with a lady whose first name was Rose. Then she married a guy with the last name Bush.
My father inlaw B. Pugh remarried to D. Church. The headline should have read “The Church-Pugh Wedding”
How about the Berger - King wedding? I actually went to school with the Berger half of the couple
HILARIOUS!!!
My all time favorite is the Mahan-Stanky wedding. 😂
This had me laughing and smiling so much, my face hurt!
Headlines were the BEST!!
The Dix wedding--I knew the guy as he was my English teacher in high school 😂
I worked with a woman whose maiden name was Black and her husband's last name was Butz. They had the Black-Butz wedding 🤣🤣🤣
2:07 You know it's *BAD* when even Jay breaks when reading it.
THIS segment was an absolute hoot 😂
It's funnier when it's her name first. 🧐 Some starch is taken out of the gag when it's listed with HIS name first. The gag works if it's HER name first 🤔only because of this: what if she uses her maiden name and married name?
I was always waiting for an actual newspaper wedding Headline to give a heads up and say: “Here you go Jay”
AND there's the RUFF - NUTZ wedding, the Ruff - Hedde wedding, that's all from me, folks! Take care.
My fifth grade teacher’s maiden name was Folger. One day, in the middle of a lesson, she told us that she *almost* married a man with the surname of Koffe.🤭
So very silly. Leno was fun.
My top 3:
3 - Jager-Meister
2 - Flynt-Stone
1 - Maus-Krapp
I sure miss Jays show
"What are they thinkin'?" They're thinking they're in love, Jay.
When late night shows were funny.
My favorite was the Nightly-Suckley wedding.
When I was stationed at Fort Lewis Washington I knew a Major named Sergeant and a Sergeant named Major
God, I miss “Headlines”, “Jaywalking”, and these wedding announcements.
I didn’t really stick around for the rest of the show, but these segments were hilarious!
Maus-Krapp 😂 I don't why that one made me laugh so hard!
I notice how those newspapers purposely put the names in order for them to sound funny, like sometimes the male first, sometimes the female. They know what they're doing 🤣
I went to the wedding that is the "Gross - Pantti" one. They are still married and still live in Rockland MI. I live about 40 miles from there.
When my son was little, a girl in his class was named Chanda Lear.!
One I saw in the Savannah, GA newspaper: Brown-Bagg
It's funny that some people knowing how their last names sound together added their first names to it but that didn't help lol
True story. Worked for a company and a Chinese engineer was sent in to help assemble some new machines. He handed me his business card. His name was Short Wang. I almost lost it right there.
I remember seeing an announcement in the local paper for the Wedding wedding.
My cousin, maiden name Butts, married a man named Pickens.
😂😂😂
My favorite is Wanamaker/Roar wedding 🤣
There's so many more I remember:
Bunn-Fullilove
Butt-Driver
Getz-Nipple
Johnson-Holder
Annis-Flame
Green-Wiener
Johnson-Muncher
Salter-Fries
Gay-Leno (his face was absolutely priceless!)
Little-Wiener
Schoenoffer-Hole
I can go on and on. The wedding headlines were priceless!
Coke Head wedding is my favorite 😊
My favorite one is the Butt-Driver wedding.
*some people are so lucky to have such last names to get married!* ⭐️ 💡 ⭐️
Where was the one for the Long Wiwi wedding? That brought me here but I was not disappointed.
in Florida late 90's my friend had one he got from the Florida Today newspaper Swallows//Cox wedding he cut that out and Framed it, and hung it on his living room wall
I wonder if any of these couples are still together.
The best one I saw but haven't found on YT yet - The Santagotta - Biggerstaff wedding.
My English teacher in middle school was named Mrs. Minor. Her husband was a major in the U.S. Army.
Love Leno 🤪
We knew a guy whose last name was Dick. When he gave a name waiting for a table he would give the woman's name that he was waiting with!😅
I had the Dicks Head wedding and my cousin had the Moore Dicks wedding... and yes you have to have a sense of humor to have that name. When I got married one side of the family had my cousin Harry Dicks and the other side I picked up an uncle Dick Head.

My mom went to high school with a guy named Harry Bahls.
I miss Leno. His jokes never revealed his personal political preference.
I personally know a couple where the husband’s last name is Spillers and the wife’s maiden name was Cox.
So funny!
Years ago, I remember the Trailer-Hooker wedding. Surprised that wasn't in this video.
This surprises me also as I remember seeing it recently. It’s tough to keep track of all the clips sometimes though so some good ones may get missed but I’ll get it into a future video! 👍🏻
Someone is actually named outhouse.
@@dakinayantv3245 lol, many people apparently. Fun “fact”: it’s an Americanized version of a Dutch name. Something like 95% of all outhouses are white 😁
I saw it on a grave once.
Two last names I have seen on graves (in different cemeteries): Sleeper and Stuff.
I miss his show
1:47 😂😂😂😂😂

dd you notice at 2:45 they're from Beaver Falls?
