Jay is like your dad, making silly jokes with Grandma. Tom is your date, desperate to make a good impression. And Grandma's not taking any crap off of either one of them.
Im 60.. I remember this episode. She was hilarious here. Smacking Tom's hands just crack me up... 🤣 RIP to The Fruitcake Lady! What a sweet treasure she was..😊
@@sondrasmith2691 Hey, that's the point. She's 91 she can say whatever the f**k she wants :). I also heard on the show that she was Truman Capote's aunt.
I can honestly say that I can see this as being representative of three generation of a family. The fruitcake lady is the grandma. Jay Leno is the middle aged adult. Tom cruise is the young adult just getting started in life. This could be a scene from the preparations for a family reunion. 😁😁😁😆😆😆
I'm dying laughing, I don't understand a lot of what she says because English is not my first language, I'm Italian, but I understand enough to have tears in my eyes, never laughed so hard.
I remember watching this! I laughed so hard I damn near pee'd my pants! What a precious woman! And Tom Cruise...my God the man was / is beautiful! Good lord.
So funny. Tom has the best smile and laugh! Always has. He’s such a nice guy, not once did he try to take the limelight away from the fruitcake lady, whereas most young celebrities would try to be the main person in the video.
Marie Rudisill also wrote a biography of her famous nephew ("Truman Capote," subtitled "The Story of His Bizarre and Exotic Boyhood By an Aunt Who Helped Raise Him") which he called "all a lie"; "I never had any relationship with this aunt at all." She seemed to do pretty well for herself, having appropriated the fruitcake recipe. That was clearly one funky family.
The old Tom? Tom is just as charming, nice looking, great personality as he always has been and had. He has made a career out of entertaining us with some of the best movies ever. Thank you 🙏🏼 Tom.
I stumbled upon Fruitcake Lady I FB. Came here to find more. Double pleasure! First one in the search had Tom Cruise! This was so awesome. RIP dear lady.
I love the fruit cake lady. Mr cruise as far as I know was raised by a southern woman who taught him good southern manners. Now Jay on the the other hand has a little bit of a twisted sense of humor like me. Jay if you're out there late night hasn't been the same since you've been gone. Miss you Jay!!
This lady is Truman Capote's aunt. Please watch A Christmas Memory with Geraldine Page. It's amazing! Narrated by Capote and it's about how he and his Aunt made fruitcakes every year for Christmas gifts!
Religion aside ol Tom knows how to make people feel as good as they can while in his presence as they can. He's cordial until the person makes him not be. Seen a few interesting interviews where guys have strayed and tried prying and he stops things and says we can have a great time or I can leave and they always want him to say.
I have no idea if he's a monster, but why take a lovely moment like this one and turn it into something mean and vicious? He was humble here. That's good enough for me.
Watching in 2024 and I’m dying of laughter
😂 😅🤣😂

Tom showing Jay how to treat an old lady 😄
Love how even though he’s a pretty famous guy she didn’t cut him any slack! Lol! She was a gem!
@@serenitysmith352 .. ffg,.n
I’m old enough to remember this hilarious show!
Still the best event EVER!
Long live the
Fruitcake lady!
Im 60..
I remember this episode. She was hilarious here.
Smacking Tom's hands just crack me up... 🤣
RIP to The Fruitcake Lady!
What a sweet treasure she was..😊
Hi Peggy. This as so funn5. Puts a smile on my face
She passed in 2006
Tom Cruise kissed her -- but that's what happens when a fruitcake helps an old lady make a fruitcake.
Loved the Fruitcake Lady. She was always hilarious.
But she could sometimes get a little raunchy with her language
@@sondrasmith2691 Hey, that's the point. She's 91 she can say whatever the f**k she wants :).
I also heard on the show that she was Truman Capote's aunt.
I miss the talk shows back then.
Yes!
It was real comedy instead of this nutty Woke crap!
She gave Jay and Tom hell and smacked the crap out of Tom's hand... 😂
Tom was at the height of his handsomeness. That smile!

She called Tom a Bum!!! Rofl!! 😂
This is when tv was still worth watching.
Hysterical I was in tears. Watching his.🎉
I don't wanna make u sad, but u will NEVER find this level again, on tv.
She slapped Tom Cruise’s hands! 😂😂😂
He was such a flirt!
Don't feel like it! Go home!
5:54 - Can you believe it?! It was shockingly hilarious!
She's hilarious oh my God my stomach is killing me from laughing
What a gem of a lady, kudos to whomever discovered her !! she is comedy gold and a spitfire thru and thru !!!
I love this lady! Tom Cruise is Absolutely Beautiful ♥️
I remember watching this! I laughed so hard I damn near pee'd my pants! What a precious woman! And Tom Cruise...my God the man was / is beautiful! Good lord.
So funny.
Tom has the best smile and laugh! Always has.
He’s such a nice guy, not once did he try to take the limelight away from the fruitcake lady, whereas most young celebrities would try to be the main person in the video.
Damn, he is STILL VGL, and who knew he was so normal and down-to-earth? God rest the Fruitcake Lady,she was hilarious here. Over 20 years ago.
“I never made a fruitcake in my life” lol
@5:55 the slap of the century
I completely plan to be like her when I’m old. 🤣😆💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Promise u will keep it real.
I guarantee that is one lady Tom will never forget. They looked like they had so much fun
If you know who Foghorn Leghorn was,
then you recognize his girlfriend Miss Prissy.
This woman was TV gold.
Tom looks so good in his beard. 💕🤸😘
I couldn’t stop laughing 🤣She is Fabulous!! How sweet were Jay and Tom!!! Loved this.
I never made a fruit cake in my life, come on man. That is hilarious.
I wish she could've been my grandma..such a spitfire❤

I miss the old Tom cruise
The old Tom? Tom is just as charming, nice looking, great personality as he always has been and had.
He has made a career out of entertaining us with some of the best movies ever. Thank you 🙏🏼 Tom.
He's still nice. He spends hours talking and clicking pics with fans. Which other superstar does it? None.
This is classic tv.... Bring back great 📺!!!!! Hilarious!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....

I thought he was from Canada.
She was great. For those who dont know, she was also the Aunt of the famous author Truman Capote. She also helped raise him.
What a spitfire she was!! So hilarious.
Hello Jeanie
How are you doing today?
@@thomsonsmith95 I am well and I hope you are. Take care!
Ah bless, she died in 2006 at aged 96
Thank you I was wondering
What a sweet moment.
This was so beautiful!!!
She's adorable!
Tom is gorgeous!!😍😘💋❤
That's the young man we were all head over 👠 fo. He is still Cool but we know more about him than we really should in my opinion.
I miss Jay Leno! 😢
Loved her💕❤️💕
This lady is Truman Capote's aunt. Please watch A Christmas Memory with Geraldine Page. It's amazing! Narrated by Capote and it's about how he and his Aunt made fruitcakes every year for Christmas gifts!
That's interesting 🤔, may have to check that put
Aww. Isn't that just the cutest 🥰
This woman was a true gem!
I so love THAT JAY CARRIED ON THIS TRADITION OF JOHNNY'S. MAD RESPECT FOR YOU JAY. LOVE JOHNNY.
Back when late night talk shows were funny!
Thank you for posting this!
When she smacked Tom's hand!! 😂😂
Just like what Aunt May did to Norman in Spiderman 😂😂
Before Tom was jumping on couches. He was absolutely flawless. Charming, humble, and SO handsome.
Tom (who is so handsome), was very respectful to the Fruit Lady! And Jay was hilarious as usual! Miss Jay’s show!
She was gold😂💛
Simply Amazing 🤩!!!
Hello Sandra
How are you doing today?
Was always a good time when this lady was on 💜

I remember this show... I can't believe that this was 21 years ago.
...and that is why women of that generation had 10 kids! LOL! They knew how to flirt!
Tom is a true gentleman and the last great Hollywood Star! Haters be damned!
And Tom is 2nd in power next to the leader and true defender of a human trafficking cult, but please go on and defend him.
He's a cultist
I have to agree, Tom Cruise is a gentleman. Jay Leno, however is a schmuck, going for the cheap shots.
@@angelli4394 Yeah, riiiight, a gentlemen who hasn't seen his daughter Suri in years.
@@patriciajones4206 🤡
She slapped Tom Cruise! 😂😂😂
This was so genuine and wholesome.
Her comedic timing was good 😁
Awwwww wowww I love this
OMGSH !She is hysterical!!🤣🤣🤣
She is a Gem...
OMG she is so hilarious
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She is so cute!!!! So smart for 91!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯.....
"I never made a fruitcake in my life." Lololol just toooo much!
That was hilarious.

Vous magnifique tous les 3 😊❤️
Gotta love her ! Namaste love and light
Hello Rhonda
How are you doing today?
I remember her and was funny!
I watched that the night it aired back then. I remember this but don’t remember any other guest or performance. lol
Early 2000s TV dude I miss it
Absolutely adorable! I don’t like fruitcake, however if it was made by Tom….now that’s a different story! ❤
"Did you put the egg shells in there with the eggs?" Lolololol
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
Comedy GOLD!
Tom was so good natured!
*TOM* ❤😍😍😍😍😍😍
How precious 😍
"I never made a fruitcake in my life" 🤣
Tom is so handsome
She sounds just like my Grandmother in NJ sounded!
Tom is so humble here. Scientology has created a monster now.
Agree. And Scientology is a monster. Tom already was in up to his eyeballs
Oh ffs, he's still humble. As an agnostic, I think all religions can create monsters.
Talk about something you know about
I have no idea if he's a monster, but why take a lovely moment like this one and turn it into something mean and vicious? He was humble here. That's good enough for me.
He was already into scientology at that time. He got into it when he married Mimi Rogers years before.
Best. Guest. Ever.
mY, mY!
Damn this is so much funnier than any late night junk of today!😅😅😅
I like Jimmy Fallon but he’s just not inthe same league Jay!
That was hilarious! 😂
Tom was the most beautiful ever here
RIP❤TOM CRUISE
Rip lady
Her attitude and spunk reminds me of my great grandmother who raised me. 😅
This was back when there were people that liked Tom Cruise. That ended.
When was this shot? It's hilarious! Is the lady still alive?
She would be over 100 by now, probably not.
Died in 2006
She was a scream!!
😂😂😂 this is some of the funniest shit I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂
I love this Lady I couldn't stop laughing
I love tom lmaoo😂❤
A Hot Ticket!
That is side splitting Hilarious,,, That little old lady has some skills,
5:54 Tom….PUT THAT DOWN!
