Published 4/1/2008 at X17 Online
That's the question Jay Leno asked the Stop-Loss star on The Tonight Show last night - Ryan Phillippe's first role was as a gay teen on soap opera One Life to Live.

... ." Now please apologize for that hair, Jay! All I can think about is Ursula from " The Little Mermaid " when I accidentally click on The Tonight Show .

Jay Leno Apologizes To Gay People

... Jay Leno would make a comment like that. He’s one of the WORST hosts on television and I don’t watch his show because it’s too painful. Jay makes all kinds of ridiculous and often demeaning “jokes” or comments because he doesn’t know what to say. It’s surprising to me that in 2008, Jay is trying to stereotype all gay males by asking a straight male to give him his “gayest look.” When the eff is Jay’s contract gonna end this year?
