It is a mistakes!

This guy Jay Leno pokes fun at news headlines most of which include bloopers and bad English. Now, he claims to hold up that newspaper because there is mistakes in it.

There is mistakes? Jay, it would be "There are mistakes". Don't make one while pointing out another.

    Suds, Leno didn't say: "There is mistakes", he said: "There's mistakes".

    I guess that's acceptable American English, though you might not agree :-)

    "There's" means "There is" or "There has".

    Which one is it?
