Leno Spoof Shows Martha Stewart Pepper-Spraying a Turkey

On last night's "Tonight Show," host Jay Leno aired a must-see television spoof. Earlier in the day, culinary genius Martha Stewart invited the "Today Show" to her home where she shared some delicious Thanksgiving Day cooking tips. So, Leno seized upon the opportunity to create a memorable comedic moment.

In the spoof, which intersperses actual footage, Stewart is asked if she plans to use salt and pepper on the bird. Her response: "Yes. Here's a fabulous trick I learned over at UC Davis." As Stewart speaks, she puts on a face visor and begins pepper spraying the turkey.

The Huffington Post quips, "Nothing like the taste of a little pepper spray to go with that tender dark meat." Leno was clearly poking fun at the now-infamous pepper spraying incident that unfolded at UC Davis last week when authorities attempted to remove Occupy protesters.

Watch the hilarious turkey clip, below:

And you can watch all of Martha's actual holiday tips, as well as the meal she prepared for the "Today Show" team, below:

Update: This story has been updated to note that the clip is, in fact, a spoof. The "Today Show" team plays the fake clip of Stewart pepper spraying the turkey at the 5:00 mark in the second clip (above). The real Stewart actually has a good laugh after seeing it. This is similar to the angry Obama press conference that Leno spoofed last year.
