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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mykaraoke-video). "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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Celebrity Impersonations:** Opportunities for entertainers to gain popularity by impersonating famous celebrities in a humorous and unique way. - **Celebrity Fan Culture:** The growing trend of fans following and supporting their favorite celebrities, creating new avenues for engagement and marketing strategies. - **Cross-cultural Influences:** Exploring the blending of different cultures in entertainment and the potential for creating unique and diverse content. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can leverage celebrity impersonations as a form of comedic entertainment and attract a wider audience. - **Marketing:** Companies can tap into celebrity fan culture to create targeted marketing campaigns and enhance brand loyalty. - **Media:** Media outlets can explore cross-cultural influences to produce content that appeals to a global audience and fosters cultural exchange. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Empowering AI Voice Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-ai-lullaby.md) - [Commentated Toy Unboxings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hatchimals-alive-mystery-hatch.md) - [AI-Powered Karaoke Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mayk.md) - [Expressive Lip-Syncing Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emo-robot-1.md) - [Celebrity-Starring Livestream Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talkshoplive.md) - [Musical Milk Substitute Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silk-ad.md) - [Celebrity Face Matchers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebrity-twin.md) - [TV Personality-Backed Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominos-6.md) - [Reality TV Cosmetic Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/it-cosmetics-keep-it-real-campaign.md)
