The entire "The Tonight Show" almost became Adrian's stage as he detailed the difficulties encountered while shooting "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels." He spoke with vigor and vitality and displayed gentlemanly grace when Jay Leno asked questions, leaving a very educated impression on most people.
If it hadn't been for the segments when the audience called in and asked questions live, where Leno took the opportunity to take back control, the show might have completely turned into Adrian's personal showcase. Even so, many people believed that Adrian did it intentionally; Leno himself admitted afterward that the opportunity was likely intentionally left for him by Adrian.
"You really grasp the rhythm of the conversation, Ed." Leno had said to Adrian after the show ended.
