Facts

  • My brother and I wrote the screenplay for Leno all in one week. We also wrote all of the songs.
  • I played a total of 9 different characters in Leno including Jay (both young Jay and present Jay), Beyondo, Iron Jay, Mr Brain, Evil Jay, Billy Tuttle, Bob Johnson, and Johnny Allegro (the world's handsomest garbage man). While 4 of those ones appeared in both the stage and film versions, Johnny Allegro and Bob Johnson only appeared in the stage version.
  • Doizee of the Doizee Club fame was first discovered in Spain.
  • As of 2001, the Doizee Club is the most popular show for children of all ages. It won several awards and Doizee herself won herself a place in the tv hall of fame. It's only competition is a New Zealand kiddie show called Bumble which is about a bee.
  • The makeup I wore to play Jay and his tonight show characters in the film version of Leno took 3 hours to apply. The makeup was courtesy of our resident makeup expert Dan McCloud. It was very realistic mind you, so realistic that no one could tell it was me they thought it was the real Jay.
  • In addition to the original Jay Leno Playtime Friend there's also Beyondo, Iron Jay, Billy Tuttle and Mr Brain. There's also two halloween exclusives Vampire Jay and the Wereleno. The rarest one of these is the Friends Forever Jay Leno Playtime Friend which we gave Jay as a farewell present on his last term as tonight show host.
  • Millitary Koalas is our most popular animated series and has about 5 seasons of episodes in all. Season 6 is now airing. The Millitary Koalas movie won several awards at the annual film festival.
