• Jay is #1. TV is a ratings game. There should be more shows like Jay’s Tonight Show.

• Nikki – whats with the ‘desperate’ tag? Leno is quick and funny – and doesn’t take himself too seriously…unlike say..Bill Maher. (Who I also like.) I’ll tune in at 10.

• Kudos to Sticking With My Union above…a short little piece of history for your Drudgers. The NBC P.R. flacks who are peppering this comment section can also take note.

  Once upon a time, in February, 2008, Jay Leno had a chance to be loyal to his WGA comrades. Instead he chose to break ranks with his own union, cross the picket line and return to work. We have people on here who are not in the WGA, who are not in show business, and that’s great. Everyone, in any line of work, can understand disloyalty.

  Leno betrayed his comrades when they most needed him. He’s a scab. No matter if you’re a Republican, Democrat, Socialist or Vulcan, Jay Leno is not good, and his show must never, ever be supported. The fact that show sucks is beside the point.

• The Hokey Pokey? Well, that’s exactly the kind of hip, fresh reference that I’ve come to expect from Jay Leno. And to all the defenders out there, at least admit he’s still the worst interviewer on TV. Seriously, how many years on the air and he’s still awful at talking to people.

• I rarely watch either Letterman or Leno but I did happen to see this bit when it was broadcast and I thought it was a pretty gracious gesture on Leno’s part.

  It didn’t seem pre-arranged to me.

  Comparing Leno and Letterman, I would find Leno much more watchable.

  But hey, I’m an old buzzard. I remember Carson and the original Saturday Night Live ensemble. The new talent today (writers) is just weak.

• Look at all the unregistered users swarming here to defend Leno and bash Dave pretending they aren’t Leno’s writers defending their bad writing.

  So Kansas likes Leno, that’s the defense? Makes me feel better about myself for loathing him. I can’t watch two minutes of that show it’s so painfully unfunny and awkward. Anyone who likes him has to be a nitwit.

• Painful, fake, LCD so-called “entertainment” for morons. I’m sure Jeff Zucker liked it.

• This is exactly the kind of smart, edgy entertainment that is synonomous with Jeff Zucker’s NBC
