Leno silent on Jackson

before the Michael Jackson trial judge was expected to rule on whether US TV chat show host Jay Leno can tell jokes at the singer’s expense, he found a way to slip in a quip without opening his mouth.

After arriving “late” for Thurdays night’s Tonight Show in Los Angeles, Leno stepped out of a black limousine wearing SpongeBob SquarePants pyjamas and accompanied by several bodyguards.

One of the bodyguards held an open umbrella over Leno’s head as the comedian remained silent when asked why he was late.
