Barbie comments land MN mom in 'Tonight Show' monologue



BURBANK, Calif. -- Andie Whitaker's goal was to make a point.

She ended up in Jay Leno's "Tonight Show" monologue instead.

Whitaker talked to KARE 11 reporter Kyle Porter last week about a new Barbie that is causing a bit of controversy. The doll in question comes with a low cut black dress that shows off a generous supply of her Barbie-type cleavage.

"I doubt my daughter will have it, and I don't want her to think she has to be a busty Barbie who's constantly wearing heels in low cut shirts," Whitaker told Porter when asked about the doll.

But Leno and his writers thought something else was noticeable about the interview, and it involved Whitaker's attire.

"Isn't that the same outfit?" Leno asked, while the audience howled at a side by side picture of Whitaker and the doll. "Isn't she wearing the same dress?"
