Sharon Osbourne didn't mince words about Jay Leno's sexual prowess – or lack of it – as she was being grilled by shock jock Howard Stern about her brief fling with the then future talk show star back in the 1970s.
Osbourne, 62, co-host of CBS afternoon show "The Talk" and wife of British rocker Ozzy Osbourne, joked about Leno's stamina and added fresh details about the encounter that happened when she was 25.
"Well it only took a minute, so I'll just say, it took a second, that was it," Osbourne told Stern on his SiriusXM show,
according to the Daily Mail.
Osbourne said she saw Leno's stand-up act at Los Angeles' legendary Comedy Store, and the two flirted each other through prank phone calls. Neither was married at the time.
"One thing led to another," Osbourne said on "The Talk" last year. "He came to my house and met me and then we had a little fling. The fling was more fling for me and not fling enough for him."
She was less charitable on Stern's show, when asked if she could rate his sexual performance, Osbourne told the radio host, "F*** no, it wasn't long enough."
Osbourne said on "The Talk" that the fling was something that she rarely thought about, even in subsequent meetings with Leno after they both became stars,
according to E! News.
"It was so long ago, I can't remember," Osbourne said. "One cannot remember that long ago. I thought that everybody knew everything about me because I tell everything anyway, but this I don't know why I just didn't discuss it before or shared it or anything. And it's not like it's a dirty little secret."
Leno himself acknowledged the brief romance last year on "The Tonight Show."
"She called me every night at midnight for an hour" said Leno. "She was just calling me, but she didn't say who she was. But she had this British accent, and she was really intelligent."
