If you think about it, Jay's monologue is about 10 minutes, so every week he would be writing 50 minutes of jokes. That's probably not easy for comedians. Don't forgot, stand up comedians usually do the same jokes on a tour because they have a different audience every night.
Well now we have Olbermann saying they're worse than Al-Qaeda, and let's see... how well is the Chicago gangster white house standing up to terrorists?......
First thing, Jay wasn't dumped, they upgraded him to an earlier time slot 10pm instead of 11:30pm. which i not common practice. Jay wanted to retire , and made it clear years ago, but seems NBC did not want to lose their late night King, ( yes he pulls more than David Letterman ), so my guess is that NBC made him this offer for a juicier time slot.
Jay is on at 10 PM now (EST) the show is a bit different, no desk, so he can sit closer to guests and some of the skits are reversed, for example "headlines" is at the end of the show instead of at the beginning. other than those little things its about the same. 10pm is a prime time slot, I even heard letterman make a joking comment ( hinting to network ) about wanting that time slot. Im a night owl, so now I actually watch Leno less in that time slot, now I watch Conan then Graig on Late late
Wow, and now his new show got horrible ratings and he didn't give a lead in to Conan, so Conan's ratings were worse than expected, so he's taking back The Tonight Show.
He could have prevented all of this, but he let it all happen. He knew where it was going, it was obvious to everyone, but Jay wanted the show back so he sat back and did nothing knowing that a good man and all his staff would be let go after moving their lives across the country.
That's what I was talking about. He didn't start it, well, technically he did with his awful ratings which led to affiliate complaints, but he did nothing to stop the outcome when he easily could have.
Good point, I guess if they can get the people to blame the other side, no one will be united to make sure our leaders do things to benefit ALL of us.
BTW, Jay Leno is pretty balanced, if he does a joke on Democrats, he will also do one on Republicans, in this video clip he is actually making fun against both sides, using stereotypes, Demos being weak against terrorism, and Fox, being biaed and , er, comparing them to terrorist? lol, he is funny, hope he doesnt tone down when he move to 10
I agree, Jay still has to pull Clinton Jokes, he even mentioned this in a monolog once, in essence thanking his luck, that at least one Clinton was still there to make jokes on, its still early, but as Obama shows his quirks, Jay will pick up on them. Bush and the Clinton were the golden era for comedians, So far, Jay has only really made fun of Obama's bail out, and AIG etc.
A smart comedian would stay in the middle and not take sides ( at least not in public ) although there are a few comedians that are one extreme or the other, they will only appeal to one side. Jay is an equal opportunity offender. :)
@gilgamesh1962 - A smart person wouldn't support odumbshit. Are you smart? If you are then Leno is right. If you're not, then you say what you said. So you must be stupid.
doesn't really matter. CNN maybe more liberal, but they don't have anything like a Bill O'Reily who is never wrong, and doesn't let people talk that disagree with him. but anyway, Jay Leno is a Democrat, this was just a joke.
Fox is biased. I don't think ABC is left wing but NBC and MSNBC are definitely leaning to left. Ideally none of the news programs should be biased, but apparently that isn't as interesting or entertaining to watch.
That's not the point. Have you ever watched Fox News? I mean, the pundits there are insane. Its not being right wing that is the problem. All the other news outlets seem to be more in the middle.
Yes I watch Fox News...it's the only one I watch now.And on what you said about the others are more to the middle? That's a joke.They're so far to the left they might as well be called Democrat spokesmen/women lol
Well when your as far Right as Faux news, everything else of course will be left of you, its all relative, Faux tells you things you want to hear and see, so you put blinders on to the whole story. Faux news followers are like Church goers, they usually congregate to the Church of their own religion.
Obama did do an interview with O'Reily. I'm sure u can find it if u search for it on YouTube. You don't see McCain doing inverviews on Countdown with Keith Olbermann do u?
are you kiddin me?? fox is the only station that's balenced, i mean, hannity and colmes...a conservative and a lib, that's balenced, fox is the only station i watch because every ohter station just bashes bush every day, that's not news
ALL news is biased. Any time there is a comment on a report it's going to be biased. It's just a matter of which side you want your news biased towards. If you're a Republican don't watch CNN for example. If you're a Democrat don't watch Fox. If you're independent watch both!
There's about an iota of difference between the two if you're not fucking blind.
Front-runners for both the Democrat and Republican parties would be considered far-right wing to various degrees in many progressive European countries.
Yeah, sorry. I just saw a video where Dennis Kucinich was the one candidate willing to go on Fox News and said some of the things Leno said about asking how can you stand up to terrorist if you can't stand up to Fox News. Too bad Leno doesn't mention Dennis Kucinich in the video.
hey mate, these assholes at nbc removed my funny jay leno interviews vid i posted along with many others that had done the same on youtube !! so expect your vid to be removed soon by those dull no life no sense of humour sad gits at nbc as they have had a little argument with youtube and have spat their dummy out of their pram...waaa waaa nbc, and grow the fcuk up!! assholes!!!!
Fact: More people watch and trust Fox News over the elitist liberal mainstream media. The left has most of television and print news coverage while the right with one cable channel that allows for certain views to be aired and not immediately dismissed or overlooked and it is fiercely attacked. The left believes in Freedom of Speech for itself only.
The small time democrats should all agree to do a fox debate, that would give them the stage and more time with a national audience. I think this would be a great chance for bill richardsan, chris dodd, and a couple other guys.
Conservatives will show up on any news station that will take them, even liberally biased news channels. The fact that democrats are afraid to appear on those channels shows their absolute lack of backbone.
