Jay Leno, appearing Thursday at the Television Critics Association confab in Beverly Hills to promote his new CNBC show, Jay Leno's Garage, made fun of Trump, the GOP presidential frontrunner of the moment, and rival Jeb Bush, comparing them to "the tortoise and the bad hair."
USAToday reports afterwards, he fielded reporters' questions about fellow comedian Cosby, the former TV titan now felled by accusations that he drugged and sexually assaulted nearly 50 women in episodes dating back decades. Cosby has denied the allegations and has not been charged with a crime.
Leno has said before he believes the Cosby accusers. On Thursday, he went further and criticized the media coverage, comparing it unfavorably to the coverage of the Catholic Church's clerical pedophilia scandal.
"Fifty women come forward and (the media) calls them liars, and says, 'Oh, you waited 40 years.' Men waited 50 years to say that a priest touched them and got $7 million. How can we believe them and not the women? It seems terribly sexist to me," Leno said. "It seems unfair and I'm surprised no one has made that analogy."
