Jay Leno fights his mom in "Americathon" - 1979

Good training for when he became a corporate shill.

And the ring announcer was played by TV/Radio personality extraordinaire Terry McGovern. Former L.A. Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda played the play-by-play commentator.

I'm not into light comedy - but LOVE this one - too bad you can't find it on DVD anywhere - perhaps it was too prophetic.

[dougiedocious]

Excellent! I have pre-ordered a copy. I don't care if Jay Leno thinks it's one of the worst movies ever made, the cheesier the better!

[hibob418]

That's Tommy Lasorda as the ring announcer @ :25 !?!? This movie actually had a pretty deep and weird cast.

[dougiedocious]

I really want to see this movie, why isn't it on DVD?

[yukonjack84]

@dougiedocious according to leno- its one of the worst movies ever made

[markjv]

@yukonjack84 id doubt that & ther is a market for bad movies least more of an original idea instead of constant hollywood remakes and sequels

[Raneko]

@markjv

why does Hollywood need to make the sequal. WE ARE LIVING IT!!!
