Serious DISTURBING LOST MEDIA NOW FOUND: The Jay Leno Show blade incident

[LonesomeLoser]

Yes, that Jay Leno. Okay, hear me out. You all remember that magician Arsenio Hall who was a big deal in the 90s and early 2000s? Arsenio was supposed to perform a magic trick involving a blade and a female guest on Jay Leno's special "blackout" episode on September 3, 2001. Apparently, the trick must have not transpired as Arsenio intended because for a very brief moment, hundreds of thousands if not millions of viewers saw the female guest yelp in pain and start swearing at Arsenio before the broadcast cut to commercials. This particular incident got memory-holed until' fairly recently when a hunt for the then-lost original broadcast transpired.

But this February, someone posted the full broadcast on YouTube. And the debate is not over whether or not the episode ever existed, but whether the incident was cleverly staged or if it was legitimate with the woman likely suffering very minor injuries. And a third theory, the woman's screams were real but exaggerated for dramatic effect or whatever.

Arsenio Hall is a comedian, it's a bit.

 

[Gone crazy back soon]

It's a skit. The "blade" barely went into the box and wouldn't have touched her at the point when she screamed.

 

[Christopher Hitchens]

yea I’m with consensus. Not real. Would have been all over the news I think and Hall is not a magician.

The Tonight Show was/is taped in advance; they wouldn't need to broadcast the whole bit, then cut to a commercial, if it wasn't live.

My speculation is it was a sight gag where Arsenio pulled something "funny" out of the box that blocked the blade, that's been deceptively edited to make it appear like a live accident.

I saw it a long time ago, but where is the video of the woman's death?
I also saw a Russian show where the production was supposed to be, I think, shooting an apple off the top of a young man's head with an arrow rifle. It didn't work, the arrowhead hit the guy's forehead at a tremendous speed and he died instantly.
