Jay Leno had accepted an offer to perform for at January’s Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT). Then of course the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence accused Leno of “helping to legitimize a crass commercialism which values profit over human lives”. The group that puts together trade show is the National Shooting Sports Foundation, which is based in Newtown, Connecticut, also the site of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings.

Leno said he was very sensitive to the fact that it’s Newtown. He also told Mother Jones, “It’s just sometimes, mistakes get made.”

Jay cancelled the gig and will now spend the night telling jokes to bags of money.
