The Life and Times of Jay Leno

Self-Effacing
Penélope Cruz rattles off her own joke during a visit to Leno's show in 2002. "I always get annoyed at the type of performers who make fun of things from above. You can make fun of it from within." says the comic. "Just because I go to a fast-food restaurant doesn't mean I can't make fun of it. And it's the same with television. You can watch it and still think it's stupid and tear it apart."
