Grandpa Bell on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno

For those of you collegians out there that have Saturday class like myself, you may have caught Tom Green's Most interesting people in America search on the Tonight Show. Showcased tonight was none other than Grandpa Bell who showed up Tom Green by clearing a bar, and then they showed Tom Green pathetically failing to make it onto the pit... did anyone else out there happen to catch it?

I saw it. Pretty amusing. Tom Green kept his hands up better than probably 90% of all high schoolers!

Am I hallucinating or was there a 1/10th of a second shot of Earl getting a massage from Grandpa during the montage at the end of the bit?
