Dakota Fanning was asked to earn her plug for New Moon when she paid a visit to The Jay Leno Show.

Quizzed by Jay Leno to see how much the young actress really knows about Twilight, the true challenge for Dakota Fanning, however, came in the form of surviving a prop gone wild.

Nearly smoked off the stage, the spooky atmosphere on The Jay Leno Show went haywire when the the fog machine shifted into overdrive and nearly made it impossible for the audience to see Fanning.

Choking her way through the inordinate amount of prop smoke that billowed across the stage, Dakota Fanning ultimately survived and proved a good sport about the whole incident.

Best of all, she earned her plug from Jay Leno. And it seemed to work.

New Moon, starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner grossed $72.7 million on Friday alone - the biggest single opening day in cinematic history.
