During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jersey Shore’s Deena Cortese got down and dirty with The Office’s Ed Helms and it was everything an awkward, live television moment should be – and more.

The uber-uncomfortable moment went down when Deena, who was dressed in a ultra-short little black dress that hit just-so-tastefully eight inches above her knees, was at a loss for words when Jay asked her to describe her “Jersey Turnpike” dance move.

The “Blast in a Glass” was tongue tied?  I don’t know who’s more surprised about that one, me or Snooki…  HEY-O!

Thankfully, Ed Helms was on hand to lend a – well, lend a crotch and Deena was able to give The Tonight Show audience a little “show”.

Helms was a good sport, but appeared politely appalled at Deenas “gyrations” – and that’s coming from a guy who’s spent a substantial amount of time with Zach Galifianakis in his underwear.
