View Full Version : Paul Newman talks badminton on Leno! 604badder 04-09-2005, 03:24 AM For those of you in North America, you might've caught Paul Newman (actor, race car driver, and badminton fan!) talk about badminton tonight on Leno. They even showed a clip of the olympics mens doubles game as a clip!
