David Duchovny And Jay Leno Sidestep the Sexy Elephant In The Room

Though David Duchovny’s publicist surely slapped a “no sex addiction questions” proviso on his public appearances, it’s a hard subject to avoid when the show he’s promoting is about, y’know, having sex a lot.

While appearing on last night’s Tonight Show, a wary Duchovny did his damnedest to avoid any potentially tumescent lines of conversation, yet every time he backed away, he found himself stepping into a new pile of “that’s what she said”-level innuendo. Of particular interest to Jay Leno (and Tea Leoni’s lawyers) was the onetime designation of Duchovny as “head boy,” a once-innocent schoolboy title that loses some of its rakish flavour each time a 48-year-old Duchovny uses it at the craft services table to open up a double entendre-filled conversation with a hot background extra named “Misty.” [The Tonight Show]
