Jay Leno thinks that he and Susan Boyle may be long-lost siblings, and proves their resemblance by donning a drag getup and lip-synching to one of Boyle’s recordings in an uncanny impersonation.
In the bit that followed this video, Jay Leno quips, "My mother came from the same part of Scotland. I think we’re related," Leno joked after lip-synching in a wig and dress. "When you saw [Susan Boyle] sing, did you see any resemblance?"
Jay Leno isn’t the first celebrity to drink the Susan Boyle Kool-Aid. Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are fans, and Boyle has booked appearances on Oprah, Larry King Live and Entertainment Tonight.
