Good Lord, Leno is painfully unfunny.
Just watch this video and you will see why NBC needs to keep Jay Leno and pay Conan O’Brien the $42 Million Dollars to give up taking over The Tonight Show in 2009. Conan can’t compete with Jay and this video is the proof. Let’s start a campaign/petition focused
on keeping Jay Leno where he belongs- On The Tonight Show on NBC. Let NBC sell Conan’s contract off to ABC.
And that’s the kind of cutting edge hilarity ABC or Fox will shell out $30-40 million a year for.
A lot here would rather slit their wrists than admit it, but that was pretty amusing.
I haven’t seen Leno in months and he’s less funny than ever. Good riddance when he goes.
NBC liberal? GE, their corporate owner makes bombs (real ones, not bad tv shows) and has always been a horrendous polluter. NBC is as conservative as every other network, inside and out. Leno is such a coward for saying the debate was even when every poll shows that Biden won by almost a 2 to 1 margin. I’d tell Leno to get his facts right but he has no thirst for them.
“Every poll”?
If you believe the polls then you probably believe that big budget blockbusters don’t make the studios any money.
The polls (those the libs pay attention to anyway) say Biden won the debate simply because the media is in the tank for Obama and so will toss out all the propaganda they can to make the stupid audience think their candidate of choice is ahead. Talk to real people on the street and McCain is way ahead when it comes to who they’re voting for. Then again, the media is used to rewriting history so why not rewrite the present too?
I don’t understand why some people here don’t like Leno, but I thought this was pretty funny. I really like him, at least 90% of the time I would say
