Leno Jokes About Lil’ Kim’s Prison Sentence

Jay Leno joked during his Tonight Show monologue on Thursday night, “What a crowd. You sound like the guards at the prison when they heard Lil’ Kim was coming. You know about that? Grammy-winning rapper Lil’ Kim sentenced to a year in jail. Yeah. I didn’t even know she worked for The New York Times. … No, she was fined $50,000 for lying to a federal grand jury. Now she’s going to prison. Or as rappers call that — good career move. Gives you that street cred, is what you need. … Actually, she’s the first major female rap star to go to prison. In fact, you know what her prison name is? Does anybody know? Martha Stewart.”
