(FOUR) LAME HOST
Jay Leno’s shtick is done. We’ve all heard the same jokes now for years. He’s officially as funny as a “what’s with airline food?” and the difference between black and white people jokes. He’s pretty much a caricature of a standup comedian hosting a talk show. He had his time and I can admit to enjoying certain episodes and time frames, but at this point just saying the name “Jay Leno” automatically equals eye rolls and sighs.
(THREE) LAME GUEST
Last week, Jay Leno had former President George W. Bush as his guest. Today, November 11th 2010, his guest is Dane Cook. THAT is the type of demographic he’s bringing in. The Bush and Dane Cook people. One ruined the world and one ruined comedy…. Not sure which did what though.
(TWO) BETTER OPTIONS
In the Chicagoland area, and I’d assume everywhere, there are plenty better options than watching Leno. Of course there is Letterman, but there’s news, Office and Simpsons reruns, Dailey Show and Cobert Report, initiating brain damage, and watching Telemundo with the sound off. With around forty eight thousand channels, Jay Leno can easily be avoided.
(ONE) CONAN
The main reason to not watch is the fact that Conan O’Brien is better. If you’re like me, you have a strong stance on a boycott against Jay Leno’s tonight show. Conan was robbed and the way things were handled is bullshit. I don’t blame Leno for wanting to have his old cushy job back, but the way he went about it… or didn’t go about it… sucked ass. Okay, fine…. You don’t care about the subject as much as me and you don’t have a personal boycott against Jay Leno. Whatever. Conan is still better.
