That was awesome last billing and everything.

Bit of a shame they used the shorter version but not that surprising. Also the laughter of the audience was so loud it almost drowned out Matt's mad cackle.... I think that's a compliment to you guys, but it saddens me a bit too.

Congrats again guys. Hope you get to do a follow up.

*edit* don't stay up too late celebrating.

they didnt show you getting jump kicked in the sack

I imagine, with Leno's target audience being middle-aged men and women with souls, that the entire room would have fallen deathly silent the moment Morgan ran into frame and double-killed Graham's balls. Would have been a pretty awkward way to end the show.

DEAR GOD I WANT A TIME MACHINE.

I never watch Jay Leno. Ever. Neither does my mother, really. But tonight she watched it, and when it was about to air I considered it for a few seconds before going "Naaaah, I don't feel like it." Now I see this. I would have been watching network TV unsuspectingly and then, BAM! Graham getting hit in the junk. It would have been awesome.

I'm going to have to ask her tomorrow "Hey, last night did you see a guy nailing himself in the nuts with nunchucks and slipping on a skateboard?"

I missed it as I was out, but hopefully they'll upload the episode on NBC's website tomorrow.

I'm sure I'll catch it eventually.

ZOMG<3

That was amazing... We stayed up to watch Jay Leno, and it was obvious everyone in the audience felt for Graham and his balls.

I guess it's safe to say that this viral campaign has exceeded your expectations, guys?

For those of you that missed it, I've uploaded a 320x240 mp4 clip up on my MSLive account. Sorry about the low resolution, but I'd rather not anger the MS gods. For those of you with slow Internet or absolutely no patience there's also a 176x144 clip.

It occurs to me that you've drastically exceeded expectations for Desert Bus 2 years running and now gotten a viral video on pretty much the largest stage possible. I think you're underestimating yourselves?

When you collectively put your minds to something you not only succeed, but succeed on an exceptional scale. At some point it might be worth taking a risk and betting big on yourselves.

Uploading to YouSendIt was successful. Graham should have that link sitting in his email.

Just watched it on NBC.com.
Downloaded an ip blocker just long enough to watch, then removed it.
That was pretty damn cool, guys.
Actually it was Awesome!
Good stuff. You must be psyched. The Star thing was good too, hey?

There's no question that this was by all means an epic success.

However... you guys have spent the last five and a half years creating cleverly-written, well-produced, intelligent comedy.

And then you get a clip on The Tonight Show by taking a nunchuk to the balls.

Makes you wonder a little...

Oh man, the audience loved it!

Congrats guys. It's kind of sad to see that after years of intelligent comedy, a crotch-shot is what gets you on TV...but even though that's the case, I'm still fucking excited for you.

For once I actually enjoyed Leno, and the way he set it up worked perfectly.

That's what I find so hilarious about this, and basically proves not only the success of this viral campaign, but that the theory behind it is sound - the internet really is "more of a knee-to-the-balls kind of person," and you can make stuff "for" the internet, if you understand what I'm saying.

Also, Graham's Manhood and Matt's Guffaws (see what I did there?) opened for Seth Rogen.

Seth Rogen is dreamy.

I hope my whole Yousendit thing worked. I haven't heard from anyone yet, and I'm worried something went wrong.

Ah, but it was a cleverly-written, well-produced, intelligent nunchuck to the balls.

Thanks to King Kool for recording and sending it, and his brother for recording a backup, and Evil Jim for use of his YouSendIt account.

Just watched the clip. I think they played it well.

I do look forward to whether or not Jay comments on the staged nature of the clip when you make the reveal, though.

I sense a disturbance in the funnies, as if though a million fans cried out in protest and were silenced at once.
