Jay Leno joins the Greenskins in Warhammer Online

On first seeing this video, we're not entirely sure what to think. Does Jay Leno really prefer being a Gobbo in Warhammer Online or is it just that Gobbos are the only ones with big chins? We're guessing it's the chin. You're probably rightfully wondering why Warhammer Online is appearing on The Tonight Show. Well you're not alone. Our only guess would be that this is some sort of preemptive strike at cultural relevance before the game is even out. Everyone knows that once a game has cultural relevance it's just a matter of time until those subscription numbers start falling from the sky like nerdy rain.

It's also probable that this is just an honest-to-goodness case of The Tonight Show taking an interest in Warhammer Online. Paul Barnett is there on that video doing his "Crazy Englishman on Crack" bit that we love him for doing. Either way, it's a baffling video to watch and you'll probably find your palm firmly pressed against your face by the end of its short duration. It's after the cut, for those of you brave enough to watch it.

Did you enjoy this? Make sure to check out all of our previous Warhammer Online features, and don't miss any of our ongoing coverage as Massively goes to WAR!

The thing I love about Paul is his over the top enthusiasm is so genuine he sucks you right into it with him. I didn't have the hand on face effect on me it had on you, I thought he was quite entertaining (which is something the tonight show hasn't been in awhile)

I thought it was great that a yet unreleased game could get media attention on the Tonight Show, a mainstay of American entertainment and a rather big deal to appear on.

Any game getting mentioned on the Tonight Show, let alone allowing a designer to give a quick blurb about it and showing some game graphics, is just a huge deal. This is great for Mythic and WAR.
