Characters

I myself am a fan of Jay Leno,   but how i first became a fan of his actually started after my dad presented me with a news article -   this was a Michael Jackson article that was published around the time of his 2005 trial,    and the article mentioned that was Jay was going to be one of the people testifying at the trial.    My mum said at the time that she thought that Jay reminded her a bit of Flabber,    in case you don't know -   he's that blue genie-like ghost from that show Beetleborgs (he's the one with the Elvis hairdo),    it wasn't until i looked up him that i became a fan,   and i became an even bigger fan after reading his book Leading With My Chin.    I also found it interesting that he used to do funny character skits on the tonight show too,   in fact a couple of his characters are featured in his How To Be The Funniest Kid in the world book  -  mainly Mr Brain and Iron Jay (it even has pictures of those characters in it),    i tried looking for pictures of what all the other characters he played look-like but unfortunately the only things i could find were two t shirts with Mr Brain and Iron Jay on them.

I pictured Iron Jay as being this macho he-man type like Gaston from Beauty And The Beast with some Bruce Campbell style bravado,  who works out vigorously and admires himself in the mirror -   after watching the clips i found of him on youtube -   turns out i wasn't too far off,     he's a musclebound fitness guru who has great physical strength but lacks in the brain department.    

I pictured Mr Brain as sort of a scientist type with a large brain and a massive intellect,   turns out after watching that clip of him -   i wasn't too far off -    he is indeed a brainy scientist type with a large brain and high IQ but also with a dry sense of humor like Blackadder.

I pictured Beyondo as being like Genie from Aladdin,   turns out my description of him isn't too far off from the clips -     the clips show him as being a magical being - specifically a spirit or floating head who can speak to people from the great beyond.

As for Billy Tuttle,  i kind of pictured him as being either like Elvis Presley in his fat Elvis days,   Fat Bastard or the classic disney villain Pete,    from the clip I saw of him he isn't too far from my description -   he's an overweight guy with a large butt and he works at a burger bar and he likes cheese,   and he has sort of a southern sounding accent and a wheezy laugh -    so in a way he kind of reminds of Mayor Shelborne from Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs.


As for the  Bob Johnson character,  i imaged him being like Smithers from the Simpsons,   now i have not seen any clips of him as of yet but i really do hope my description isn't too far off from what he's like in the sketches.

Evil Jay was pretty obvious,   he is described as Jay's evil twin who comes out at full moon nights and so i imagined him as either a dark magic user or a vampire type,   neither of them are far off from how he is in the clip of him on youtube,    in the clips he is Jay's evil twin -  and interestingly enough in the opening part of that one clip it says that Jay turns into him when it's a full moon akin to a werewolf,  and he does possess dark magical abilities -   in the one sketch he's in -  he's on the set of the show F.R.I.E.N.D.S and he uses his magic to change the title on the door to F.I.E.N.D.S,   causing Ross and Rachael to start hating eachother and become enemies rather than friends.

Johnny Allegro i always pictured as being a parody of the Prince Charming character archetype from fairy tales,   in the clip he is in -   he is an Antonio Banderas style latin lover type who works as a garbage man.

Virtual Jay -  well he's a CGI version of the real Jay so he looks a bit like a character from a dreamworks or pixar film.
