Is Sanjaya Malakar getting a passage through India? Jay Leno seems to think so.
Last night, the "Tonight Show" host suggested that the A.I. hairball, whose father is from India, might be getting more support in Bollywood than Hollywood.

2. This is a joke. I don't think I'll be watching Idol for the rest of the season. If this keeps up there is a chance Sanjaya could win the whole thing. Sony is starting to have some kind of an attack about it too.

3. All I can say is that all who dislike this freaky dude should team up to shoo him out of AI....as the show's title says: American IDOL----well this obnoxious guy (I mean girl) has no makings of an IDOL---unless for the blinds and deaf! Jay Leno has a point---so let's all show that we, who want him out, have the stronger voice!!! All hands on deck!

4. Jay should stop "borrowing" Howard Stern's material...
Howard said the same, exact thing on his show two weeks ago.
Come on Jay, can't you come up with your own theory??!!!!

7. Forget Carlos Mencia for ripping off people, Jay stole this from Howard A. Stern. Stern mentioned this about 3 weeks ago. Jay is an a**hole who is a thief!! Get some new writers Jay try stealing the writers from Conan or Kimmel!! Asshole!!!

8. Once it gets down to 5, of 6 Sanjaya doesn't stand a chance. It's a lot more difficult to get one fifth or one sixth of 30 million + votes than one ninth. Once Phil, Hailey and Blake or Chris are gone, all the people who were voting for them will be voting for Lakisha, Jordyn or Melinda, not Sanjaya.

9. SAD the votes being tampered it's sad, the show is getting some of the really good talent, and he keeps holding a spot.

10. I guess everyone thinks that now that Howard Stern is off terrestrial radio, they can just start ripping his material off shamelessly. Stern came up with this theory on the air a few weeks ago. I guess Jay is just a thief.

11. If Sanjaya is of Indian descent, Hor can he become an AMERICAN Idol?? He ought to be disqualified .

12. Jay Leno is an unfunny, talentless hack.
Oh...and the fact that Sanjaya is of Indian decent does not make him less of an American Gayle...you moron.

13. Are the Indian's Rigging Idol??? Did the Indian's Rig Anna Nicole Investigation? YES YES YES YES YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

14. That's what the show is about; voting by phone. I don't see the problem. He may not be the best singer, but he is a good performer and young girls(American or whatever) seem to go for him. Look at David Cassidy, Leaf what's hisname, etc. Get a grip, please. This is entertainment.

15. Howard Stern and his fans are keeping Sanjaya on Idol! The Indian community is probably just as embarrassed for him as I am because he can't sing and it's not fair that he's still in the competition.
It is really funny though!!! Can you imagine if the votefortheworst.com and Stern listeners get their way and he manages to get to the top two??? That would definately be something to see...
