Kristin Chenoweth Fields Offer From Jay Leno To Eat Poop For $1,000 [Video]

Kristen Chenoweth recently appeared on Jay Leno to gripe about the time she was asked to eat sea urchin in exchange for a donation of $500 to her charity Maddie’s Corner.

The skinny 45-year-old Broadway performer looks like she needs more fuel than the sushi, which she described as containing claws and eyeballs. And she said it tasted like “snot and B.O.”

So that’s attractive.

Jay Leno ultimately doubled his donation to $1,000.

But Kristen Chenoweth was back to ask for more. She witched and moaned about the horrors of eating expensive sea urchin just to get a few bucks for her charity.

She has a bone to pick with Leno because she said perfect strangers come up to her on the street to say that he ripped her off. Apparently, they don’t believe a deal is a deal. Instead, they think eating sea urchin is worth way more than a measly $500 or $1,000.

I guess those unnamed folks, assuming they actually exist, don’t realize that some people actually pay to eat sushi. They don’t get paid to eat it.

But eventually Leno is shamed into saying he’ll make another donation when he thinks of something worth $1,000 to watch her eat.

Then Chenoweth rambled off endlessly on another topic. Something about Australia, something about a kangaroo, something about a baby joey in the mama’s pocket eating its own poop…

“Yeah, they eat their own poop!” animal biology expert Kristin Chenoweth told the studio audience.

That’s when the lightbulb went off for Jay Leno.

“A thousand dollars,” he said a bit after the four minute mark on the above video.

That actually stopped Kristin Chenoweth from yakking for a full second or two.

Heck, I might tempted to give her the thousand bucks for eating the kangaroo poop myself. Especially if it encouraged her to put a sock in it.

Alas for people who think Chenoweth would do well to stop talking and start eating, I’m pretty sure that Jay Leno’s offer to pay Kristin Chenoweth $1,000 to eat ‘roo poop is just a joke.
