Leno talks Friday the 13th with Kevin Bacon on The Tonight Show
If you caught last night’s edition (Feb 16) of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on NBC you actually missed a rare Friday the 13th mention by actor Kevin Bacon! Joining the show about 20 minutes in, Leno ultimately brought up Bacon’s past in Friday the 13th and a clip of Bacon’s death scene was shown! Bacon went on to mention that he had the “classic horror movie death where he got to smoke a joint AND have sex”. To see the episode click the link below. Bacon comes on around 20 minutes in and the Friday the 13th talk is at around the 23 minute mark.

coolness, do they use real joints in the movies? They did on “The Evil Dead”
damn… cant watch it up here in canada
bacon’s a dick. i wasn’t the least bit surprised that he ridiculed the kid playing kid jason for ‘getting into character’. i don’t know what makes him think he’s such a great actor, and his country music shit sucks dick.
Can’t watch the clip here in Sweden
He was great in the original as a camp counselor/meterologist.
I guess after his role in the critically acclaimed “Hollow Man”, he feels a right to critique other’s acting skills.
I’m surprised Bacon even brought it up. He wanted nothing to do with Friday the 13th, afterwards. For a while, he failed to acknowledge, he was even in the movie. Bacon is an unemployed loser actor, who badmouths past movies. He has no right to critique anyone. Go away, Bacon Burger Boy.
Can’t think of a better movie he’s in than part 1.
Mystic River?
Guys… it’s a joke. Loosen up. He’s the biggest actor to come out of the series.
he is what he is folks.Stars don\’t care about anyone but themselves.The asshole he is was taken by Madof?Shoot even Vickie would not given her panties or money to that money stealing fuck
Why all the Keven bacon hate? lol…you expect him to mention repeatedly he was in Friday the 13th?…I don’t think it comes up that often.
And him making fun of the kid should be taken as a joke…he even laughed about it in new documentary.
And I think he’s a good actor so I guess I’m in the minority here.
Pretty sure Corey Feldman is my pick for biggest actor to come out of the series.
Have you seen the movies that Kevin Bacon is a lead in? God I don’t even want to start with his folk-rock-country bullshit that him & his brothers do or whatever. I never even heard this said music & I know its that bad.
Feldman had more acting chops at age 10, bitch.
Whoa, gotta say I agree that I don’t get all of this Bacon hate AT ALL. It’s like he came to the majority of the posters front door steps here, and pissed in people’s flower gardens and shit. I’m sorry but I quite like the guy, though I don’t care about his Bacon Bros. musical group, that’s fine and that whole side project is his passion & business, ect.
Glad he still smiles about it these days …
“Have you seen the movies that Kevin Bacon is a lead in?”
Exactly. He’s the lead in movies.. unlike Corey Feldman
Yeah, I am unsure of what to think about Bacon. Granted I don’t know him, but this is the only notable film (besides Stir of Echos/Hollow man) which both sucked- that I can recall his face in. I suppose he was okay in “Friday 1″ though-he was low key and it worked since he only got killed anyways… What else is he really notable in? Oh wait isn’t there a recent movie called “Death Sentance” he’s in? Or is that (hopefully) someone else?
I noticed that Kevin Bacon didn’t even think the first Friday the 13th did good. A little bit after Leno mentioned that they came out with a new Friday, Bacon said “They still haven’t gotten it right?”
And how were those movies?
Feldman had a tv show recently not some sub par band that packs them in shitty venues just because kevin bacon is in town.
Bacon was in the movie “Tremors”, which is a sci-fi flick that also features Fred Ward and Michael Gross. He was in “Mystic River”, but I’m pretty sure everyone knows that.
Did everyone forget about Footloose? Bacon is a big actor, granted he is a dick. Looked to me that he rolled his eyes when Jay mentioned F13. He just comes off like a total ass.
