And the upper left corner states: "🇺🇸 USA Distributed with Pride" (not made in, just distributed). If you look up the company, it's listed on LinkedIn as an "entertainment" company in suburban Bensenville.
The 99-cent segment, and Headlines, were the best. Jay was so talented and I wish he'd return. Late night TV is garbage today (2023) and not worth watching. Jay and Kevin were the best. (and Johnny and Ed). Those were the days of real talent, now long gone.
Wish Jimmy Fallon would at least try what Jay Leno had done. No chance of that. I sure miss those days when you could just hear The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. With Kevin Eubanks and the Tonight Show band. On FM radio. Back in the day when before there were smartphones. DVD's had just been coming in. Both the ones called video - the ones anyone could hear and see them on any portable DVD player. Then the music CD's. The MiniDisc by Sony, hadn't been exactly a success. So, I'd listen to it when I had nothing else to listen in on to. No TV. No radio, radio. Not the emergency radio walkie-talkie kind. It'd be one of the best things I've ever had. Before cell phones had decent internet and before there were such things as Bluetooth. And Wi-fi. Before there were cassettes,that you could listen to,there were something called eight-track tapes/ *really* old school kind of entertainment. I had never watched Ed Sullivan shows before. That had been WAY before my time. Letterman, Conan O'Brien,and the Craig Ferguson show hadn't been too far off, either. Man,since I had been financially low income,those were the days.
Nothing wrong with the name. "Wiener" just means "of Vienna" in German. What most of us think "Wieners" are "Vienna sausages." And "Wiener Schnitzel" is breaded, pan-fried veal cutlet without sauce, a typical Viennese dish.
Back when the 99 cent store actually was a 99 cent store. You can't even get a little bag of hot cheetos for under a buck now. The Tuna drink packaging was in Spanish, so that actually refers to the Tuna fruit that grows off of cacti. It would essentially be one of the more rare Aquas Frescas that non-Hispanic people would not order.
In Mexico tuna is a fruit from a certain cactus, so it may be a cactus fruit drink. Wiener in the German language refers to things or food from Vienna. I know they don't normally speak German in Finland. Maybe the nougat is Viennese style candy.
@@watersipper1116 The name "Wiener Nougat" is Swedish, and yes, it means Vienna style nougat. Fazer is a Finnish chocolate company, but the Swedish language has a fairly strong position in Finland for historical reasons.
I use ear pics actually. No compass. Since I was about 20. Had a bad ear infection from q-tips. Threw off my equilibrium couldn't walk in a straight line. Super weird. Wet naps and ear picks.
That "tuna" drink, unbeknownst or not, was for a fruit drink. In Mexico, a "tuna" is a prickly pear. The fish that we know as "tuna" fish, is "atún." I speak from my own experience from my youth when on a trip to México, my new friends asked if I'd like a "tuna," and they were holding up a prickly pear. I learned 2 new words that day. The people who did the packaging hopefully have learned a lesson, too!😂
@@clydegoodrich6720 Sometimes companies learn that the hard way - for example, there's a laundry detergent from Iran that's sold in some other countries - its name means "snow" in Farsi...and that product is called Barf.
The 99 cent store must have been an earlier version of the Dollar Tree store of today.Everything there is $1.25, but used to be $1.00. 2006 seems like ages ago now. I was in my early 40s, then.
99-cent stores had somewhat better quality items than the modern Dollar Trees for the most, but you'd occasionally find weird bootleg stuff like some of the things in this video. Dollar Tree is mostly single-source so these items aren't as common anymore.
I begging you networks, please have another late show like the Jay Leno Tonight Show. All the current ones are the same: political jokes about Republicans and kissing the ass of meaningless celebrities.
Hey now, I recorded this in 2006 and have no upscaling capability. Besides, in 2006 everything looked like it was filmed with a potato and we liked it! 😉
MAKING FUN OF POOR PEOPLE. WHAT COULD BEE MORE AMERICAN. HOW MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE ONE BILLIONAIR. GOSH I LOVE IT. THIS IS A REAL HOOT. JAY IS SOOO FUNNY.
0:45: Yes, it does say “Chigago Tools of Illinols”.
Well it's as likely as the "Pittsburgh" brand tools sold at Harbor Freight being made in Pennsylvania! LOL.
I never noticed that. 😶

I think this is my absolute favorite $.99 shopping spree segment.

"Stuff we found on E bay" segment was also always funny.

Agree...
It's always nice to find an episode you haven't seen before, it's like brand new to me
Somehow the past always seems better than today.
You're right. The older I get, the better I was!
If they start using the same translators or spell checkers that were just being developed in those days, you'll get these jokes.
It's called nostalgia.
True. Loved the 80's and early 90's
The giant remote is great for seniors. Easy to see and push the buttons. My mom loved hers.
I took a picture of a Chinese restaurant on LA called “My Dung”. I should have sent it to Jay.
R.I.P. 99 cent stores
too bad 99cents shop closed,,, the $dollar store became $1.25 shop and even higher prices
I sure miss Jay Leno! All the class of late night TV left with him.
We actually had that giant remote for my dad when he developed MS.
I could honestly see that being really useful for someone in that situation.
I doubt it cost a doller though, usually in 99 cents stores they have products that are higher than 99 cents too
I bought one for my grandmother who would always lose the regular-size ones. She never lost that one.
This is one of the funniest bits I've seen by Jay Leno - thanks for posting it!
One of my favorites from any segment was "Sex Positions for the Recovering Knee Surgery Patient".😂😂
The Wiener Nougats are still being made. It's a FINNISH COMPANY. Still on their website.
It's really good chocolate too!

@@angreagachWell, in America, wiener means penis.
@@trevertravis8963 I know. (I'm American.) That's because it's being likened to a sausage. I think most Americans are aware of that.
2:36 I was born in 1962, and Hell yah that's a POCKET calculator! 😜
I was born in 1950 - our pocket calculators were slide rules.
I remember the first pocket calculators around 1969 or so. $300 each.
The person laughing extra loud for crack sandwich is so funny.
It’s 11:30 pm I’m laughing so hard I sure miss good shows from back in the day
I love Jay Leno's messed up segments! I was laughing so hard, I was crying!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 The ear pick was the best - complete with a COMPASS!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No more, "Where did I put that remote!"
Great post - new to me! Love it
Jay is hilarious it just comes natural to him.
The best thing is the disdain in Jay's toss when he is done with it.
We used to have one of those remotes
Nobody delivered like jay
Evil spirit is unreal
I miss the old talk shows
Thank you, hilarious.
You can laugh, but that colossal remote was the only TV remote that I never lost.
I actually think my one friend has it at least had one of those too

Very funny. With the Snoopy bag it sounds like an edit after Jay says "How "Think".
Takes me back. Crack sandwich and Tuna flavored drink, one of my favorites as a child. With a wiener nougat for dessert.
The Wiener nougat is really good. The brand Fazer is not Chinese, it's Finnish, and they make excellent chocolate.

@@AugustusRex-nk8ze I didn't say that it was Chinese

@@AugustusRex-nk8ze Thank you. It is good to learn new things.
2024, sure miss the only good late night era
So long as it isn't made from real turtles, I would eat the 🐢 gum 😉😁
The poem...was very deep and moving

am sure the powder drink wasnt really tunafish taste, but name doesnt translate well
I love how Jay says: It's 99 cents!!
Got me laughing hard!
I like the 99cent store,but I loved headlines

That ear pick thing is incredibly dangerous!
At least it has a compass!
Oh yeah.... I forgot about that!
you can get ear picked by folks on streets of China,,, very dangerous? yeah, but pretty cheap
Tuna drink is in spanish "tuna" meaning a prickly pear from the nopal cactus, you can see the picture where Jays finger is 🙂
❤
I was crying lol
👍👍
Late night died when Jay left.
rip .99 cent store
Known today as the 999 cent store.
Nah, just $1.25.
3:10 - Just try and lose that 99 cent TV remote.
Kevin Eubanks earned $40 million to not laugh at Leno's jokes.
now the dollar tree is 1.25
LMAO way too funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wiener Nougats, its a translation problem with Austria.
someone says Finland candy, you say Austria, and Jay said China cansy
Jay: Could you send me that remote control? I can't seem to find my remote control at all. Thanks for your help as help!
Looks like he also bought his dignity and loyalty there too!!.
That remote😂
I heard it only takes 4 D cell batteries 😂
Without exaggeration, in the 1970s, a calculator would have been in the $250 range
I use my collosal remote everyday.
I laughed so hard, I got dizzy 😵!!!
And yet the 99¢ Store is going out of business. Go figure.
I really MISS Jay Leno.
That Snoopy card 😆
That Tesla was really nice....
I'm going to play with it some more..... Your thing is nutz but I will try it on thath track....
funny, the pocket calculator is the same size as cell phones nowadays
I begging you networks, please have another late show like the Jay Leno Tonight Show. All the current ones are the same: political jokes about Republicans and kissing the ass of meaningless celebrities.
Yes, telling jokes about Biden & Harris is verboten.
Ok, Wiener Nougat isn´t that funny. Such as Wiener Schnitzel - means ...from Vienna.
The late-night hosts of yesteryear, like Carson and Leno were great, today's guys are dreadful.
All Jimmy Fallon can do are “Thank You” notes. That’s the best he can do. 🙁
4:43-5:23 - And if that isn’t disgusting enough, it probably isn’t even real tuna; it’s tuna-flavored drink. 🤢
Johnny Carson got $3 million a show, Jay got more and bought cars!
Jay didn't use any of his show money.
Check those facts!! You're a few zeros off!!
Jay earned 20 million a year, but he didn't spend it. He saved some and gave most to charities. He preferred to live on his standup income.
Can you please lower the resolution some more?
Hey now, I recorded this in 2006 and have no upscaling capability. Besides, in 2006 everything looked like it was filmed with a potato and we liked it! 😉
Now Thomas, is that any way to speak to your betters?
The candy isn't from China
someone said Finland Candy, someone else said Austria Candy, while Jay said China Candy
These days calling it bad translated chinese is racist.
Ear pick,compass 😅😅😅😅
MAKING FUN OF POOR PEOPLE. WHAT COULD BEE MORE AMERICAN. HOW MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE ONE BILLIONAIR. GOSH I LOVE IT. THIS IS A REAL HOOT. JAY IS SOOO FUNNY.
This isn't making fun of poor people. It's making fun of weird products found at dollar stores.
