Late night talk show host Jay Leno, subpoenaed to appear as a defense witness in the Michael Jackson child molestation trial, has asked that a judge clarify the gag order in the case so he can continue to mention the trial in his nightly monologue.

According to court papers released Wednesday by the Santa Barbara County Superior Court, "The Tonight Show" host was subpoenaed February 17 to appear as a witness in the trial and filed a motion for clarification on the gag order February 18.

In the motion, attorneys for Leno asked that the gag order not be applied to the comic. But if it must be, they asked that it be amended to only prevent him from speaking about firsthand information he has in the case.
