"Huh?!" Of The Day
Leo Gallagher -- he of the smashing-watermelons-for-laughs circuit -- apparently boycotted the Game Show Network special "Who Wants to Be Governor of California" and Jay Leno's invitation to join 90 other candidates on "The Tonight Show" last week because... he was afraid of being mocked.

"Jay Leno has never asked me on the show to do my act. I'm not going to go on there (now) and have somebody make fun of me," he told the San Francisco Chronicle. "I have a lot of serious things to talk about."

Did I mention that this is the man who, 20 years later, still smashes watermelons in his routine for laughs? He must be mocked.

Covering the Game Show Network taping, Chronicle Joe Garofoli talks with candidate and porn star Mary Carey: Carey is the kind of recall candidate who interrupts an interview by saying, apropos of nothing, "I'm really horny."
