Ashley Graham, the plus-sized model from the controversial Lane Bryant lingerie ad that had to be edited before it could run during "American Idol," joins Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" Friday, April 30.
Graham makes her first appearance during the opening segment, when Leno comes backstage to tell her to change because she's showing too much cleavage. Except he's actually talking to fellow "Tonight Show" guest Mickey Rourke, which, okay, hee. Watch that bit in the video below.
In announcing the guests for Friday's show, Jay Leno says that he doesn't think the original Lane Bryant commercial was too risque. "I think they were discriminating because she's a plus-sized model," says Leno.
When Ashley takes the stage, she explains about the ad. "[ABC is] not showing it ... well, they are now, at the end of the 9 o'clock hour. Apparently there's too much cleavage ... there's too much flesh.
So Jay Leno shows her...

Fox asked for the ad to be re-edited three times because it had too much cleavage, but has finally agreed to let it run during "American Idol" on April 28.
Model Ashley Graham, the woman in said commercial, has responded. "It's a bit prejudiced.
