‘Get a girlfriend,’ Hollywood tells Jay Leno

By Milo Haskour —

Jay Leno stays faithful to his dementia-stricken wife, Mavis, despite Hollywood colleagues asking if he’s going to get a girlfriend.

“A guy said to me, ‘Uh, so are you going to get a girlfriend now?’” Leno said recently. “Well, no, I have a girlfriend. I’m married. I’ve been married 45 years. ‘Yeah, but you know what I mean.’ No … we’re kind of in this together, you know. You can’t, ‘Honey, honey, I’ll be with my girlfriend, I’ll be back later.’ That was like the most Hollywood thing.”

Leno is 75 and Mavis is 79. The Tonight Show host of 17 years met Mavis, a Nobel Peace prize candidate for her work with Afghan women living under Taliban rule in 2002.

“You’re just doing the right thing because you’re supposed to. Right? That’s kind of — that used to be the norm, and then when you strayed, that was the out-of-whack part,” Leno explains. “Now the out-of-whack part is fairly common, and staying and doing what you’re supposed to do is stunning to people. Well, we kind of made a deal, you know.”

Leno is sticking to his wedding vow (“in sickness or in health”). What’s unnerving about advice to get a gf is that Hollywood helps to inform people’s values.
