Leno’s last show features ... Freddie Mitchell by Peter Mucha (Inquirer Staff Writer)
Actually, Mitchell was a UCLA student during the Leno encounter – although the word “student” might seem debatable, given the contents of the clip.
After being drafted in the first round in April 2001, Mitchell explained: He was just trying to get on TV.
“Yeah,” he told Inquirer columnist Phil Sheridan, “I was just playing along.”
“Mitchell practically stiff-armed his way to the front of a long line,” the New York Times wrote in a profile years later.
“I knew it was George Washington,” Mitchell told the Times. “But if I’d have given the right answer, they’d have cut me out.”
He was a history major, he said.
He also said, back when he was drafted, that he was friends with major model/actress Elizabeth Hurley, had appeared on TV shows Baywatch and Pacific Blue, and had been invited to the Playboy Mansion.

I know Freddie quite well. Despite what some may think, he is a very bright, clever, and talented individual. And yes, it surprised the h+ll out of me!!! I often make comments and bust on him because he is intelligent and witty. Freddie is a caring and loving father as well—to a beautiful little girl. Hey, the way I see it is his name is resurfacing everywhere and people are talking. He must be doing something right or we wouldn’t be wasting our time writing about him, would we??? He knows how to get what he wants… bottom line — perhaps football may not be in his future, but keeping celebrity status is something he is doing.
lol

Classic moment.
