Eric Cheng and Mo Rocca at Isla Guadalupe

I just got a call from Kat and Lawrence. I made the Tonight Show with Jay Leno piece on Guadalupe and great white sharks! It’s on tonight, but I have no idea how much screen time they gave me. :)

UPDATE: Stream the piece from NBC.

   Hey Eric, it’s been awhile! Anyways, my friend in Minnesota just called me to tell me that she recognized you on Leno! She said it was a short clip, but long enough to recognize you! I’m staying up to see you on the boat!

   hi, Eric…just saw the show and it’s pretty cool…thought to leave a message here…the guy next to you was knocked off by the coconut…

   The bit was great — they didn’t show enough of you (I think the Leno guy thought you might upstage him) — but it was pretty darn funny!

   I just saw it and came to your journal! If Mo referred to me by name and said “Eric Cheng world renowned photographer” and my name was captioned on the tonight show, I think I’d be pretty happy. :) Very cool Eric!

   I can’t believe I saw this and managed to tune in just in time…

   Is it possible to watch/download the show from last night somewhere on the internet? I missed it because it was in the middle of the night for me (different time zone). Thanks & Regards, Tobias

   Hey just watched the segment. At least they got the “world-reknowned photographer” part right ;). I actually spied you three times. Cool!

   I haven’t seen it yet, but I hear I was on screen for like 5 seconds. ;) Victor just sent me a screenshot. Mo is like a foot taller than I!

    I finally watched it, and it was indeed funny! I was pretty worried, because it seemed like it would be hard to get laughs out of white sharks…

    holy crap Eric! That’s awesome! I’m so jealous you got to meet Mo Rocca- that guy cracks me up.

    OK, the YouTube clip I posted is pretty crappy in quality, and the audio sync is off. Oh well.
