That's the Guy for Me

LENO USED TO HAVE A STORY he loved to tell about his early days at the Improv in New York. An older comic had started hanging around the club; he’d been out of the business for a while, and wanted to get back in. And he had material like, “You ever notice it’s always the guys in uniform who get the girls?”

One night Jay and some of the other young comics sat him down and suggested that maybe he should think about updating his act. So the guy went onstage the next night and said, “You ever notice it’s always the Green Berets who get the girls?”
