The Time Jay Leno Wrestled Robin Williams
/To my great delight, I have found a video I had been searching for some time. I had this memory of watching the Tonight Show and somehow Jay Leno with guest Robin Williams turned the conversation to Wrestling. Both had wrestled as youngsters and Robin Williams challenges Jay Leno to a match, and to Robin’s surprise Jay stands up and says they’ll wrestle into the commercial break.
I’m so glad this video exists, because I was starting to think it may have been a made up memory from some weird vivid dream. So I’m not that crazy it turns out, and check out at the 6:00 mark Jay hitting a nice fat man roll for a reversal. They start talking wrestling at 3:00.
Robin Williams wrestled for Detroit Country Day in high school, and also wrestled in scenes in The World According to Garp.
