Jay Leno made news when he announced that Sarah Palin will be among his high-profile guests when he returns to The Tonight Show next week (aka "The Jaysurrection"). Now David Letterman's lineup for next week pits Mitt Romney against Sarah Palin on Tuesday night -- and the ratings may well provide clues on which probable GOP presidential contender may be most popular. The week's lineup for Letterman's Late Show are: MONDAY, Bill Murray; TUESDAY, Mitt Romney; WEDNESDAY, Jerry Seinfeld and Tom Brokaw; THURSDAY, Tom Hanks; and FRIDAY, Matt Damon. Leno's first week of guests are: MONDAY, Jamie Foxx, Olympic Gold Medal Skier Lindsey Vonn; TUESDAY, Sarah Palin, Olympic Gold Medal Snowboarder Shaun White; WEDNESDAY, "Jaywalk All-Stars” with the Cast of MTV's Jersey Shore, Chelsea Handler, and the most decorated American Winter Olympian of all time Speed Skater Apolo Anton Ohno; THURSDAY, Matthew McConaughey and Jason Reitman; FRIDAY, Morgan Freeman and Meredith Vieira.

Sarah Palin (already)

Morgan Freeman… Nooooo! Not Morgan Freeman!!!
You are all officially on the “Dickheads Who Suck Up to the Mediocre Late Night Douchebag” list.
May your Q ratings drop out from under you for helping that asshole hack.
I love comments from high school dropouts. They are so uplifting!
Thanks TLB, do you want a regular check or a money order? I know you don’t have a bank account, so let me know ok?
Jay Leno, King of Late Night, back at 11:35 p.m. Is this a great country or what? As long Leno doesn’t subject us to Paul Reubens all will be well.
Don’t worry, he will.
The ratings will have absolutely nothing to do with who’s more popular. People want to see Sarah Palin because she’s a moron and says stupid things, and people find that entertaining. That’s all.
I completely agree. Not only that, but obviously Jay is gonna poke some fun at her and the “interview” will be a complete joke.
tch,tch,aren’t we showing our Haavaad education and language skills. Sarah will outshine them all and do it without filthy language as well.
Both Leno and Letterman are liberals. What I’m waiting to see is Letterman “grow a pair” when he interviews Democrats. Now that might be worth watching! David Letterman is an unusually good suck-up to far left loons. Jay lobs a few hard balls to Republicans who are stupid enough to go on his show, but David has never tried to embarrass a Democrat. Forget about Leno, Letterman, and Kimmel and get some sleep!
Yeah I agree. Palin is a much more popular public figure, and of course she’s going to get the ratings on Tuesday. That doesn’t mean people will vote for her (and it might mean the opposite, in fact). Come election time, I have to believe cooler heads will prevail.
If Jay grows a pair and doesn’t throw her softballs all night, then maybe, just maybe, I’ll regain a little bit of respect for him.
But you’re right, people watch her to see her screw up, and she is utterly oblivious.
I think Palin and Dubya are twin souls. Both born under lucky stars and dumber than a box of hammers.
Leno is a REPUBLICAN. He’ll do what he must to appease the leftists running Los Angeles, but don’t expect a crazed Chris Matthews interview.
RATINGS RESULTS:
Leno will take in his highest ratings for his entire new run on the Tonight Show. They will DROP DRAMATICALLY because of the quiet, unspoken pro-Conan boycott. Then, NBC’s other show (Seinfeld as marriage counselor?) will get abysmal ratings and be off the air in a few weeks.
HOWEVER, Romney will easily destroy Palin in the primaries (if she even runs) and Romney will then destroy Obama in 2012.
It’s all so predictable.
I agree that Palin will win the night, but I kind of want to see what she’ll have to say about mean-spirited David Letterman. Also as you mention, the choice of the audience as to who wins ratings as guest on a talk show next week has almost no correlation to who the public wants to see in the White House 2 years from now.
Leno is NOT a republican. When it was rumored he was, he came out and said himself he was not. When someone tries to be bi-partisan and have both sides as guests is when someone on the fanatical left labels them a republican. You don’t understand hearing both sides.
And he probably will throw her softballs, just as he’s thrown softballs to every liberal he’s had on, but you don’t see that, you are too stuck in the ideology.
You guys are all wrong. The only chance the republicans have is to have someone new, not SOS from Washington. Romney and Palin have no chance. The new guy from Mass, Scott Brown could be the long shot.
As for me, I am volting all incumbents out. As long as the wild eyes B*itch is running the floor of the house Washington goes down.
I can only hope this prediction comes true
Jay Leno is a COMEDIAN, not a journalist. He doesn’t ask “tough” questions to ANYONE…..ummm, because he is a COMEDIAN. I bet Sarah Palin knows the difference between the two. Which would actually make her smarter than you.
And who wins the ratings as a predictor of who the 2012 Presidential contenders will be from a late night talk show? Really, people?
Romney is a social LIBERAL. He is the reason we have UN-legislated homosexual marriage in Massachusetts, (see link for the truth), and he is the reason I no longer have the liberty to NOT buy health insurance in this state. No way will I back Romney or any other RINO like him.
WOW, You are so smart. Would you please provide me with the winning lotto numbers. Romney is a has been. Sarah rocks.
I don’t know how often you watch these shows, but they don’t usually try to make any of their guests answer hard questions. They’re not dumb enough to irritate half their audience (be it democrat or republican).
And like her or hate her, Sarah Palin probably couldn’t be as horrible of a President as Obama if she tried. And at the very least she has proven herself able to govern on a smaller level. What’s Obama done? Only thing he does well is campaign.
As for Romney, I don’t think enough Christians would vote for him to get him through the primaries. In the minds of most Christians, voting for a Mormon is not much different than voting for a cult leader.
I have a suspicion that someone else will come along though and get the republican nomination that’s not on the radar right now.
Sarah Palin is not going to screw up. She’s a smart lady. The myoptic media falling over on it’s left side completely distorted and continues to do so as admittance to reality would expose them for the biased fools that they really are. Joe Bin Biden on the hand is prone to faux pas!
Why should Jay ask her hardball questions? It’s an entertainment show. When does any real news organization ever push a Democrat for real answers to hard questions? They just accept everything they say and move on to the next question.
Last week Schwarzenegger went on all the major news shows and said California was doing great and had just created 150,000 jobs in the “green” sector. But there are no jobs. California is on the brink of financial collapse. No one ever asked him what these jobs were or what the source for that “statistic” was. Supposedly a Republican, Schwarzenegger continually talked about Republicans as if they were “the other party.”
That state needs to lay off tens of thousands of highly paid union workers and cut high salaries and benefits to those who remain just to have a chance at recovery. But he’s talking about 150,000 non-exisistent jobs as what’s going to save their economy.
George Bush was “dumber than a box of hammers” yet he fooled all the smart ones into supporting his Iraq operations. Sarah Palin is equally as dumb (purportedly) and yet she is target #1 of the left. Why not target persons who are actually smart=dangerous to your cause.?
What kind of IQ can be perpetually amused with a box of hammers?
keep talking and maybe people will believe you. that’s the way a lot of candidates get elected. it doesn’t have to be true, just say it a lot and the idiots who don’t want to read or learn anything on their own will believe it.
tell me more about sarah palin’s ‘lucky star.’ yeah, what a life of priviledge.
Palin-hatemongers are so-o-o-o transparent! If she were no threat, you lefties wouldn’t keep trashing her. You obviously respect her clout or you would just MOVEON.
Ranked in order of who has more money,more fame, more success in his or her chosen field, who comes in last — you, George W. Bush or Sarah Palin? Now who’s dumber than a box of hammers?
Rebuttal to your comment is that Sarah Palin is wealthier than you, has more friends than you, and more than likely much happier than you.
what? she’s not on jay-walk-duh?
Compared to Joe (V.P. is a great job because I don’t have to do anything) Biden and/or President Prompter, Sarah Palin is a whopping genius! I will be watching da chin ALL WEEK LONG!
Leno will once again giving Letterman a thrahing in the ratings war. Sarah P is a great way to kick his show off. Followed up by the Jay-Walkers, he will be right back in the saddle in his fomer spot of winning the ratings battles. Go Jay geaux…
Yeah, Yeah, Go Sarah
Exactly!
JP- The fact you have obvious dislike towards Sarah Palin only fuels the attraction she brings on both sides.
I think it will do nothing but good for Leno and Letterman to bring all sides to the table. Perhaps you might try stating your own intellectual disagreement to Sarah Palin’s statements you claim as ’stupid things’. Now, that could really be entertaining.
You wrong if you think the only reason people will watch Palin is to watch her ’screw up’…how funny. You wish.. libs will do that, and wish that, but the truth is, Palin has appeared on tons of venues since her highly successful book tour began, and she’s done very well on her own terms. You’re wrong. Dream on.
Sort of like watching an Obama speach, eh?
How can you call someone a moron when she was elected to be a governor and has sold millions of books. Have you done that? I think you are a moron making a comment like that.
I’m pretty sure you just beat out Sarah Palin for saying stupid things.
I smell fear in this post. The fear that someone as seemingly simple minded as Sarah Palin could be taken seriously. Actually, these are the same people that lowered the bar when they elected Obama. Just keep entertaining yourselves with your TV sets. The real world will forge on in spite of you.
The only morons are the ones that write stupid comments like most of the ones posted here. They talk out of there ass which is fitting since most of them are complete AH’s that most likely voted for the real morons that park there worthless butts in DC.
Most Americans are sick of both sides of the aisle and when November rolls around they will clean house. As for Romney he is just another Republicrat and will not get the nomination.
How much of a moron could the most popular and youngest governor in the country have been. People want to see her cause she is charismatic unlike Romney and adorable. But you guys need an excuse upfront.
You’re a moron, you make stupid comments, and I find that entertaining.
Sarah Palin dumb? You know the true measure of intelligence? Fitting two sides of an argument in your head at once. I can see all you can muster is one. Too bad. If it wasn’t for the fools the rest of us might not succeed.
You must feel pretty good calling Sarah Palin a moron. How hard it must have been for you to arrive at that decision.
I guess if intelligence is on a scale, she will get many, many, more points than Joe (what did I have for lunch) Biden, Nancy please don’t make me say any five letter words) Pelosi, or the king of dumb Harry (look for the union label on healthcare) Reid.
Sarah rising, Obama failing.
Life is good.
Sarah will win the night…She’s smart,cagey and good-looking.Besides, people want to see the person who will replace Urkel in the White House….
Sarah is not a moron but you are:)
I think you are a cheesey elitist wannabe
You should know. Stupid is as stupid does!
The only morons are the people who belittle Sarah, maybe you have an inferiorty complex, since she has fresh ideas. You should ask yourselves why she scares you so much, could it be you know she’s right and your afraid your decadent lifestyle will be hurt.
Are you one of the progressive activists who’s job is to make sure Palin’s name never appears in any form of media without an accompanying jab at her intellect, or are you one of the people they’ve duped? Your tactic of Bush-bashing for eight years worked… there’s a completely inexperienced and totally incompetent progressive in the White House. Why not continue the tactic by smearing Palin? Makes sense to me.
Palin such drives the progressives up the wall!!!They will say anything, except the truth.
…very entertaining comment JP.
Funny, you are a moron and say stupid things, but no one cares what YOU think.
I will watch because I LIKE SARAH PALIN. You stuck up jerks! You’re Obama and Biden are the morons.
HAHA you are already conceding that the ratings are going to be in favor of Leno on the night Sarah Palin is on. What a lame pre-emptive diffusive drivel of an excuse you give for it though! Sarah Palin is going to be our next President in 2012 so get used to the term ‘Madam President’
No, you people bashing Gov. Palin are the morons. You’re afraid of an intelligent, accomplished, attractive, conservative woman.
If you don’t like Sarah Palin then why watch? Obama was on that show a lot and I think he’s a moron so I didn’t watch it? Come on you know you really like her but can’t bring yourself to admit it.
If being a moron and saying something stupid are qualifications for being on the Leno show, perhaps you should do a week on it.
People want to see Sarah Palin because she is beautiful both inwardly and outwardly and because politically she makes a lot of sense. J.P., the moron seems to be people like you.
absolutely correct.
I agree with you 100%. I myself wouldn’t care to see Sarah Palin as a presidential hopeful, but I would watch her on tv because she says some of the stupidest things.
You know what idiot, you are the moron. It is becoming so obvious that you Sarah bashers are so full of hate that your stupid comments just reinforce your total ignorance of her political history. If she is a moron, than Obama, Biden, Pelosi, and Reid are all neanderthals and worse. As so many have posted, Sarah Palin has more intelligence, experience, and common sense than all four of those radical MORONS put together.
No … that is why I watch you!!
Unless you are a former governor, a former VP candidate and a top-selling author, who are you to call her a moron? She seems to be doing fairly well for herself.
No sir the only moron around are the stupid lefties like yourself who are to ignorant to know anything about anyone. Read what she has done for Alaska and then we’ll see who the moron is. She’ll get more ratings than anyone.
Yeah, I agree with you. I’m looking forward to seeing sarah in lenos show, and I’m gonna be stoned as hell so I can laugh my ass off when comes on.
She has no idea what a joke she is, she thinks she is god to this country. lol.
And what night will you be appearing?
We will see.
My bet is that Sarah Palin’s night will be the biggest draw.
Because, she really is the Nations best hope of getting out of this mess the so called experts have us in. Her ‘Make IT Happen’
record in the the big ‘A’ is very impressive in it’s honesty
and results. She is the fresh approach that we all need right now.
Another idiot scared of a coservative woman.
Well Sarah Palin will get a big number for Leno but Letterman/Romney will be the better interview. In fact the rest of the week Letterman clearly has the bigger stars/better guests.
This person is obviously doing DRUGS the only noteworthy guest Lefterman has besides Romney is Matt Damon and an ahhh on Hanks(I like Hanks but he isn’t as big as he once was.
What are you kidding? Monday he has Bill freakin Murray. A comedic legend. I’ll take him over Jamie Foxx any day. I’m not saying Foxx isn’t funny and talented, but he does seem a little full of himself these days, and he sure as hell is no Bill Murray.
Jin Chon–I guess you didn’t watch the Olympics the past 2 wks, Leno’s lineup is HOT!
Letterman is a sleaze bag, Anyone who watches him probably performs in porno shows
Jay will blow Letterman out of the water with Sarah Palin.
Every single show Sarah is on gets it’s highest ratings ever.
Romney can’t draw a crowd handing out free beer and pizza!
Romney wouldn’t hand out beer at all. But he will destroy Obama in 2012 based on his better ideas for getting America out of this mess. Small gov’t, cut taxes, strong defense, strong familes.
The difference between Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney?
Sarah Palin will be our next President.
Palin isn’t even qualified to be President of the Sarah Palin Fan Club.
LOL! Obama wasn’t qualified and look at him now.
I think you are confusing her with Obama.
Nice one
The current occupant doesn’t have a lengthy resume, either.
I wouldn’t say Palin is ready yet, but she sure has a 2-up on who is running this country now !
Qualified? hahahaha… BHO was the least qualified person running for any post last election cycle, and our country is suffering for it. No experience running governments or businesses… but the media elites got ‘em elected anyway. Sarah has vastly more experience, just not a Hawvawd degree. Sorry, this country needs patriots right now, not elitist-know-nothing-euro-loving-socialists who surround themselves with other elitist-know-nothing-euro-loving-socialists.
Sarah Palin is just as qualified as the idiot we now have in the office.
The effect of lack of qualifications for being President is on display everyday with our current President. He has less qualifications and experience than Ms. Palin and proves it. Other than being a good speaker for what he is told to read on the teleprompter, he hasn’t changed from when he was an ILL Senator. He was a good little Senator, he did just what the party bosses told him to do.
Palin Rocks, Letterman stinks, Leno’s a yawn and Romney’s a good guy hampered by dorks that can’t get past his religion.
Sarah Palin is more qualified for President than Obama is even today. And she left the governorship of Alaska because of countless “ethics inquiries” that was preventing her, or her administration from getting anything done. Yet again, the left was wasting tax payers money.
That’s odd yet funny commentary. Considering that Barack Hussein could never pass the security screening to wait tables in the White House. So it just goes to show ya’ that ya’ can betcha’ that The People who voted this turd in to office are dumber than a slow boatload of hammers and cycles making their to China.
What a moron just like Letterman & Obama!
Are you joking? Sarah Palin is a JOKE. She QUIT as Gov. of Alaska. You REALLY want her having the nuclear codes? I would vote for Kevin Smith for President before I voted for Sarah Palin.
I don’t know about President Kevin Smith. He might get kicked off Air Force One.
I’d vote for Koko the talking gorilla before I’d vote for Sarah Palin.
You already did.
I think you already did!
sounds like you already did….
You did that the last time!!!!
You already did
you probably already did.
You get my vote for idiot of the year.
Then I guess we know who you voted for in the last election TEH!
Ahh…so you are voting for the incumbent, then?
You Did!
You already did!
Isn’t he already in office?
Doesn’t matter, most of you big talkers want changy hopey bull**** yet most of you don’t vote. Stay home.
Your going to be very sad when you wake up after election day and see obama smashed in a landslide by sarah palin.
The thing I like best about Sarah Palin is the reaction she so predictably elicits in liberal morons. I don’t think she has any intention of ever running for office again. She just likes to drive nuts like you even nuttier. lol
At she actually ran something other than a community support group! And recently, that is soooo obvious Mr Obama is over his head…
Nuclear codes? REALLY! Please put away your 80’s cold war movies. You’re a douche.
Typical leftist boo hooing. You people can’t come up with anything original. It is always the same whining…Sarah is dumb, stupid, a quitter, not qualified…blah, blah, blah. Yawn.
Obviously the Palin haters suck and they are the biggest joke like their joke for a president.
May I respectfully disagree with you?
An officeholder who would voluntarily makes the decision to resign because she believes she (or he as the case may be) can no longer be effective; who believes she should step aside because it is in the best interest of the people she was elected to represent, is an honorable person.
The kind of person who is not fit for office is one who refuses to resign, no matter how corrupt and/or inept he has proven himself to be, who has abused his office and lost the trust and respect of those who placed in that position, who is determined to hang onto power and position only to enrich himself, despite his manifest unfitness.
A person who is willing to sacrifice her political career because she believes it is in the best interest of the people who elected her (as well as the ones who didn’t) is a person who sought office for the right reasons, not just a desire to empower and enrich herself. A person who is willing to resign an office when she comes to the conclusion that she cannot do a good job given the political atmosphere she is dealing with, realizing that it is in the best interest of her state to give up her office is, I think, the kind of person we want in that position in the first place.
If you think that Sarah Palin is not well informed enough, not polished enough or perhaps just too young to be elected to high political office, or you disagree with her political views, it makes sense that you would not want to to see her holding public office. But if your reason for not wanting her in a position of authority is because she made the decision to resign when she felt it was in the best interest of Alaska, please think again carefully! What Sarah Palin has demonstrated by her decision to reisgn is humility, courage, and strength of character; rare qualities have been almost entirely missing in our political leadership for much too long.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
It’s funny because (like you & Palin) it’s stupid.
100% agree. What is funny about these Palin haters is that they only know what SNL, the nut jobs at MSNBC and Newsweek, tell them about Palin.
If she were a Dem they would be eating her up as such a strong and powerful woman standing up to the GOP and all of their attack dogs. But because she is a conservative, they tow the line and follow like sheep.
Obama has not so much as run a hot dog stand in his life these idiots elected him and look at the mess this has got us.
Please! Palin is not Presidential. Obama has to go too!!
Uh…I’m right of center, but Palin? C’mon! How about Thune? Let Leno or Letterman give him a shot. The last thing we need is a Palin or a Huckabee. Where is the next Barry Goldwater for crying outloud?
Hahahahahahahaha…that’s a real knee-slapper!
Sadly, Palin is just as qualified as our current President.
You can’t really be serious. I’m a conservative, but she is the last person on Earth I’d want to be president. However, I don’t think she’d be chosen or win…hopefully. If she were the nominee it would be a definite win for the democrats. I don’t understand why so many other conservatives think she is qualified. I feel awkward for her every time she opens her mouth. Palin supporters boggle my mind.
Sarah Palin would maybe get one-third of the vote. That’s if she still looks like a milf in 2012, which might be hard to pull off then. Even then, still only losers like Gary who need a pretty face reinforcing his opinion will vote the stupid btch. However, I dunno maybe Americans’ ever-decreasing intelligence is taking over: Reagan to Bush was a downgrade; Bush to Clinton was a downgrade. Clinton to W. was, at best, a lateral, but maybe a downgrade. W. to Obama is a downgrade, which is notable. The only way it could be surpassed would be to go from Obe to Sarah. Maybe the losers are ready to take over the country.
But honestly, we won’t have to find out because Sarah Palin will not run. She may be of questionable intelligence but she’s not a complete imbecile; her fortunes are highest when she’s on the fringes of the discussion, not having skin in the game. If she runs, she’ll get embarassed again and that will decrease her celebrity. Having a national stage is all she wants, not the presidency. That would be hard work and she already bowed out of averge work as Gov. of Alaska.
Gary – Please keep believing that fantasy. I want Palin to be the nominee because it will ensure that the Dems are in control for the next 30 years.
She will be the next president?
What in the hell are you smoking?????
Hey Gary;
Put your hands around your ankles real tight and pull real hard.
That should help clear your head of stupid thoughts an you can breathe better too.
sarah is a winner–you can call her president palin
Do you know what is funny, Cal? I didn’t even have to read your reply to know you were a Sarah Palin “fan.” Do you want to know why, Cal? You don’t use punctuation or capitalization. Cap-it-tal-ee-ZA-shu.
You’re missing the “n” off “Cap-it-tal-ee-ZA-shun”. Glass houses and all.
this isnt a doctoral thesis, its the internet, is that really the best you can come up with?
I believe that last syllable should be “shun”. There is an “n” on the end of the word.
Cap-it-tal-ee-ZA-shu? There’s an N sound at the end of capitalization. If you’re going to make a personal cut on someones grammar, you should make sure you do it right. Otherwise, you might sound like a pompous jackass.
Or “retard.”
I love the namecalling when people run out of actual content.
Sara Palin is a “weener” not winner.
People watch her like those who rubber neck at accidents. They say they don’t want to see the severed head but they look anyway.
What comes out of her mouth now is under such tight control but when she flaps those lips moose crap will emerge; mark my words.
Retard=bad from Rush. Retard from libs why “that’s just hookey dookey”. If the right wants her to run…bring her on…she is a real boob.
What are you smoking?. That woman is only slightly brighter than the dim bulb that currently occupies the Brown House.After Obumbler we need a heck of a lot more than that woman promises. She’s attractive to look at but she aint got what it takes to be President—unless you want another Obumbler or Jimmy Carter type.
we already had a palin for president: gw bush. i don’t want another president that can’t speak english. palin’s sweet, but not too bright.
Obama can speak without reading from a teleprompter.
Those who consider Sarah Palin dumb, are the ones who are truly stupid. Not only is she sharp, she’s well-read.
Sarah is like Jay: You can hate them all you want but at the end of the day, they will come out on top.
Except for that time Palin lost.
Except that she didn’t run McCain did? And you call her dumb! People vote for President, not Vice President.
I didn’t know we were votin’ for Vice Pres. I guess Joe Biden won the Presidential election? Ok, now go on a little rant about how we actually are voting for both as we cast our ballot. Make sure you use big words like “traditionally”.
That was one chapter. Time will tell the true ending….
Ummm, just like a lefty, trying to fit history into your world view. She didn’t lose, the ticket lost, mostly because of John McCain and an ill run campaign. Stop already, your boy is fairly in and isn’t solving anything. Live with that.
McCain lost that one, not Palin.
she really came out on top back in 2008 when she lost the election.
See comments above… *sigh*
Dude, McCain recruited Gov Palin to help his flailing pole numbers. She gave his team a huge boost. He would have won hands down if he had a voting history similar to her very, very popular governing of Alaska. Get a brain man. Gov Palin was the most popular Governor in the country. So what’s wrong with governing accordance with our constitutions?
Read the above, the same applies, just cause you say it loud and often doesn’t make it factual.
I think we all lost that election
You are so STUPID. Sarah has won more than you will ever win, she has accomplished more than you and your whole family did or will in all of the generations that you existed. Wow, what a record you have.
that’s faulty logic- she would be president by now if that were true
How would she be President now if that were true? She never ran? Learn to understand American politics before you comment on them!
Umm.. She didn’t run for President. Just fyi.
your ambiguousness is astounding
Uh Josh, She was running for VP. Now go back to your Wii.
hey lightbulb….she wasn’t running for president.
Games not over yet
Palin couldn’t have won, she was the VP to an Obama fan. President’s are elected and they typically get more air time than their VP’s. Palin actually made the race close, I seen reports showing that Palin gave McCain a 10 point boost.
Leno’s show with Palin will win. The people that hate her will watch to see her stumble (or hope she stumbles) and the people that love her will watch. Those two groups likely make up 87% of the viewing public.
Romney is a very capable guy, but not entertaining. He’s great at running a business, but so was Perot and Perot was more entertaining.
Jeez, it was refreshing to see a post here by an adult for a change. Your analysis is spot on.
Romeny has that resume, he’d be pretty damn qualified to run the country.
Maybe having a president who has actually run a business, knows how to budget, and has actually been responsible for something bigger than himself would be a good thing.
The amateurs in Washington now obviously have no clue about business, or they would not be demonizing the very thing that drives our economy and holds the future of our economic recovery.
I predict Jay Leno wins the ratings for that night. Palin rules!
The only thing that Sarah Palin rules at is giving women a bad name. Who would want an idiot for president? Not I.
I be sure to watch Leno’s show. I like Mitt but I like Sarah better and I don’t like Letterman at all.
AMEN
Romney scores higher in polls among Republicans and all voters for preference for candidate for President. Palin draws more crowds and sells more books.
Why? Palin is personally more popular, but there is a large portion of the public that does not like her at all (mostly women). No one hates Mitt Romney but no one loves him either.
My guess is that Palin pulls in more viewers, but that she does not get the nomination. I don’t think Romney will either (Tea Partiers distrust him on RomneyCare, big government RINO-ism, softness on size/scope of government).
The tonight show is dead. Letterman rules!
How could a woman who quit her job representing the people of her state to concentrate on other “more important” things such as her book tour and speaking to Sean Hannity once a week be a serious presidential candidate? Not to mention attending four colleges to earn a degree. Anyone who would vote for her is fucking retarded and I truly believe there would be a mass exodus of intelligent people out of this country should Palin be elected president. i wouldn’t trust her to walk my dog
Whiskey – Can you explain to me the contradiction between the (good) points you made in the first and 3rd sentences?
Well, of course Leno’s going to have Palin on. Jay’s going to keep trotting out all of his old shticks (*yawn*), and doing a round of Jaywalking-with-Palin is an obvious choice. Making fun of idiots is his stock in trade.
LET THE RACE TO MEDIOCRITY BEGIN!!!
I can’t wait until O’Brien manages to get himself back on TV so I dump all over him.
I had heard that Adam Lambert was going to be on Leno the same night as Palin. I guess that ship has sailed.
Ummm. Did anyone notice that Sarah Palin isn’t Jay’s only guest?
The guest with real accomplishments, real drive, and a real work ethic is Shaun White. He also has an appeal that just doesn’t quit.
White for the win.
Who? Do you think people will be talking that day around the water coolers that he’s going to be on Leno that night? It will be because of Palin that Leno wins the night….reality has come a’callin’. Face it like a man.
Palin is MORE ENTERTAINING. She should win. Saying that, I don’t want the MOST ENTERTAINING as my next President. I want the MOST CAPABLE and QUALIFIED. That leaves PALIN at the bottom of the list.
ROMNEY / DeMINT in 2012!
Palin will win that night, but it isn’t because she’s taken more seriously for President. It’s because she is media buzz personified. Her stupid comments do nothing but make people want to watch to see what she says next. She’s the Jessica Simpson of politics.
Anyone else notice the representation of these stars? Letterman’s getting Damon, who’s repped by Patrick Whitesell at WME…Only WME star on Leno’s first week is Jason Reitman. Anyone else think Ari Emmanuel might be trying to blackball Jay for screwing over his client?
Everybody knows this is just Leno trying to rebuild his audience, unless he really zings her like Kimmel did to Leno I can’t see this having any long term effect on Leno’s ratings, we all know the first week Leno’s ratings will be huge. I’ll be more interested the week after to see what the ratings are like, I predict Leno will plummet and Letterman will stay steady
Yep, jerks like jerks. Letterman will last until the trashmouth jerks wise up.
Even if Sarah brings in more viewers to Jay, that does not mean she is a lock for the Republican nomination. Palin doesn’t have a chance in hell to get the nomination. She bombed with mainstream Republicans and Independents which will be critical votes for the GOP nominee to get in 2012. She will be like Huckabee. She will win a few small states but she won’t have what it takes to win over the mainstream Republicans and Independents in the big states.
Leno will win the first night on a curiosity bump; Letterman will take the rest of the week.
Leno will slowly bleed out, his already adversely affected profile/persona suffering further and pushing Hollywood/Showbiz and the publicists/gurus that shuffle them around–who’ve already voted Letterman (as Conan’s putative proxy) over Leno thus far–to shift even harder onto Dave’s side of the 11: 30 pm seesaw, possibly even launching Leno (and NBC) heels over ass.
(Then again, this is a guy built to take it on the chin. Nascar/Pop Country America will stay at his side.)
Thus it shall be.
I don’t like her politics, but I love how Plain makes pompous Obama cult members cry.
Obama is failing badly, and you’re just looking for someone to vent on.
Yeah, Palin is kinda plain.
I for one will not being watching wither of them. Battle of the Grand Old Party talking heads is not going to interest me. Palin is an ignorant idiot and Romney is a robot with an agenda. Now if Letterman had on Bernie Sanders – I would definitely watch. I’ll go for Nightline, Jimmy Kimmel or Charlie Rose.
The only way Romney wins is if he is quizzed on his personal view of magical underpants. They are both kooks and should not be trusted with nuke codes.
I would trust Corky from Life Goes On or Lyndon LaRouche as president before I trust either of those bozos.
Romney built one of the biggest investment funds on Wall Street. He probably already has the nuclear codes.
Santa, don’t tell me. You’re one of the Family Guy writers, right? Am I right? Okay, go ahead and tell me.
“Magical Underpants”? Really? Is that the best you can do? If you don’t like Romney, then don’t like Romney. However, ridiculing someone’s religious beliefs, of which you obviously have very little knowledge, is plainly low brow and unintelligent.
Criticize Romney for the faults you see in him, but why insult all the Mormons in the world? I would guess that (whether you realize it or not), you know Mormons and chances are they would give you the shirt off their backs- as would many good people.
You’re post demonstrates your lack of character and intelligence. You may want to think twice before making a public display of your foolishness and ignorance again.
I’d watch Leno & Palin but I’m afraid my television would spontaneously combust or melt. And It’’s a really nice TV.
Not to turn this into a political discussion – but Palin Won’t run. Who’s going to campaign for her? Living with her day & night for almost 2 years on the trail? Her own husband can’t stand to be near her for too long a period of time.
Joan Jett on Leno March 9th!! Whaaaa??? That Sucks. I’m a HUGE Jett Fan but I’ll catch the performance on Youtube. Not giving Bigjaw the ratings point.
F him.
One thing about Palin. She knew damn well that Romney was going to be on with Letterman. It was announced weeks ago. She certainly thinks awfully highly of herself to pit herself against Mitt. It seems she can’t stand to be out of the spotlight for more than 2 minutes. Mitt has a book coming out that is a plus for the entire Republican team (great message; No Apology, the case for American Greatness), but Sarah’s got to get in on part of the action. Telling. She’s not a team player. It’s always, all about Sarah. That’s trouble when it comes to positions of power.
Being a team player like Romney is why our country and our government is in the mess it is now. I think your promotion of Romney hints at you being a team player.
i’m sorry, you’re an idiot. all about her? not a team player? maybe we’ll find out. is ron paul a team player? that is exactly the problem. i don’t want another republican who is just as corrupt. i want a conservative that represents the majority of americans, not themselves or the biggest lobby.
Yeah Right, She’s going to play with a republican team that undercut her, NOT. Oh did you notice, Bush I,cheney and the other insiders backed Hutchinson and Sarah Palin backed Perry and Perry one. The writing is on the wall.
Forget about those two old gasbags. Tune in to Lopez Tonight and actually laugh.
Lopes sucks.
what’s the excitement for, these are all going to be crap interviews filled with much host mugging and weak one-liners with no one saying anything remotely interesting
Like most of the previous posts, I believe Leno and Palin will win that particular night if only because more people are fascinated with what comes out of Palin’s mouth — and not necessarily the substance of it.
However, it is curious to note that 3 of Leno’s first guests are US athletes from the Winter Olympics. NBC is trying hard to make it seem like he has not been black-balled. I wonder how NBC packaged that deal with the athletes.
And Jersey Shore, really? …okay, I admit, I’ll probably watch that online.
Both Palin and Romney sucked wind in the CPAC straw poll. Sure, CPAC is a bunch of mouth-breathers but they’re also the new GOP base. Conclusion is that the GOP sucks.
The fact that people are even mentioning talk show ratings in the same breath as the viability of potential presidential candidates is what’s absolutely horrifying about America right now.
This is the most accurate and telling comment posted.
I agree, am shocked at the ignorance of so many.
The haters of Gov. Palin are so filled with bitter gaul that to express themselves with any sort of civility is difficult. Note the hate, cuss words, and vile insults spewing from their mouths. Why? Right vs Left rivilary, lack of information, closed minded, and mostly fear of a person who has the guts to stand up to the good ole boys. Going Rogue? You betcha, she has my vote, she is tough, independent, and has more courage than any other politician on either side of the stained aisle of the political landscape.
These comments that argue over late night talk shows definitely need to turn it all off. TV is mostly a waste of time anyway. Read some books, open mindedness is healthy, read a mix of political views, get educated, and especially volunteer locally and or go on a missionary trip. With God’s blessing, lives will change and happiness will abound, hatred will dissolve.
You are right on. America, thy name is celebrity.
Horrifying, yes. Surprising, no.
Oh great. Leno and Romney, the dueling flagpins. Will the Tonight Show band be playing Dueling Banjos? All that’s missing is Ned Beatty in his underwear.
Pitting Romney vs. Palin is a really hilarious idea. I can’t wait till Palin calls Romney a polygamist, and Romney tells Palin to get back into her kitchen.
Wonder when Leno will have Conan as a guest? Or will it be Letterman who has Conan?
It will definitly be Letterman. What Leno did to Conan is unforgivable.
its not who will be more popular, I would watch Palin because I want to see that train wreck, way more entertaining that watching mr slick romney
Don’t pay attention too closely or else some of what she says might start making sense to you.
The Letterman monologue, a.k.a “love letter to Leno and Palin” is MUST-SEE TV. Not an accident Leno’s got Shaun White, Rock Star Boarder, perfectly propping up Palin as well. GOP would be stupid to buy into the hype. But then again…
Leno also has Adam Lambert on the show singing tues night. He always boosts ratings an average of 1.5mil for whatever show he is on. Plus it is a night American Idol is on. I prefer Mitt over Sarah, but leno wins the night with Adam Lambert alone.
Why is Sarah Palin such a threat to elitist Liberals/Progressives. Every time her name is mentioned you blow a gasket. I think it is because she is much more intelligent in a normal way (also known as common sense) than all of the elitist intellectuals put together. Of course Leno will blitz Letterman on the night as not only will all of Palins fans be watching but also all of the Lib/Progs who really get their jollies watching a real woman will be watching in their bedrooms with a box of tissues nearby.
It’s because she is a moron and thinks she’s smart. That’s the entertainment. If you haven’t noticed that then I assume you don’t have any college education
I know, Larry, it amazes me, too. I think they fear her. If they didn’t they would just make some small comment if any, but with her the GOP have hit a nerve. They fear her strength subconciously, I think.
Because they believe everything they read on the internet. They claim that people are “brainwashed” by Fox News, but they forward every email they get claiming that Sarah Palin is an idiot.
Don’t care much for Sarah.
Si Se Puede!
Without McCain, Palin would have won the election. She could run with a cheese sandwich and beat Obama/Biden.
Leno or Letterman…Hmmmm…What channel is Carson on?!!!!!
Romney is as exciting as last year’s turkey. Palin rocks and makes the libs absolutely freak out, yell, scream, panic, stomp, and shout out their hate speech. No contest as to where the action will be; Leno make a good ratings move.
You liberal elitists think that you have to be educated at Harvard to be President. Common sense is what your beloved dumbass messiah doesn’t have. Anyone who tries to govern against the will of the American people is a despot. I can’t wait till the tea baggers throw your bunch of morons out. Palin has more executive experience in her little finger than Barak Obama has in his head. ’nuff said!
Imagine, for a moment, that Palin was a Democrat. She’d be hailed by her party as a modern woman and a courageous mother.
I’ve been an active political volunteer for over 30 years, and on Tuesday night at 11:35 I’ll probably be watching Family Guy on Cartoon Network. I have already seen Mrs. Palin and Mr. Romney in many other interviews.
I’ll be interested in the ratings of that show against Letterman and Leno.
Family Guy? Really? If that’s your intellectual limit, then keep on volunteering, because no one is going to hire you, or vote for you, except, of course, for those South Park fans who don’t get Family Guy.
Who cares?…and does anyone on here really have anything that resembles credible political knowledge? It was a rhetorical question, you don’t have to answer.
If Sarah Palin had absolutely no chance of winning the GOP Nomination no one would take her seriously. However there are many moderate\liberal Republicans (Democrats in sheeps clothing)who keep bashing her? Why? Because they know she is a huge threat. In fact i would bet you many democrat operatives are behind the bashing. They want to remove a threat who would beat Barack Obama.
Please do not tell me how stupid Sarah Palin is. This intellectual mumbo jumbo is a bunch of crap. What the american public wants is somebody who will read the bill. Our so called brilliant politicians were supposed to be able to do that but they didn’t. It doesn’t matter if you are a red diaper doper baby lawyer from Havard. Who cares how much education you have if in the end you just go duuhh I voted on something i didn’t read! Shoot my dog can do that! So the only qualification you need to have to run for public office is to be able to read. Palin can read. This makes her just as qualified as Obama.
When liberals fear someone they demonize them, make fun of them and repeat over and over again that they are stupid.\I will let anyone quote the dumbb things Palin has said and match you with the dumbb things Obama has said. I will give you two dumb things or out and out lies Biden has said.
While Bush and Palin are not the glib BS talkers like Kerry, Gore and Obama neither is stupid. Palin made Biden looks stupid during the debates and he was allowed to lie at almost every point.
My loyalties lie with Coco. Leno will get curiousity ratings for a few nights, and then he’s toast. If Letterman stays focused and keeps kicking him, he could steal NBC’s audience…at until Conan resurfaces…if he does at 11:30.
Who cares?
Me, I’ll never watch that backstabbing, opportunistic, bland, unfunny, phony baloney Leno ever again. I don’t think I’ll be watching Letterman either — he’s become a little too cranky and political for my tastes.
I’ll be getting my beauty sleep for several months…it will be good for my health. And then I’ll readjust when Conan the Great eventually resurfaces on Fox. Hurry back, CoCo!
First of all, Leno/Palin will win that night easily. Nobody gives a crap about Mitt Romney. The man couldn’t beat McCain for the nomination in 2008.
Secondly, I’d love for everyone who questions Palin’s intelligence to list for me some politicians they consider to be brainiacs. I find it ironic that many of those who would smear a woman they’ve never met and likely know nothing about beyond a media caricature created by Tina Fey and the neverending clips from the one bad interview she’s ever done handed the keys to the kingdom to Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, quite possibly the dumbest and most incompetent triumvirate to ever lead this nation.
Palin sets the tone, you know, I know it. Whatever she talks about becomes the news because it matters.
Sarah Palin is unintelligent, in a way that makes G. W. Bush look like a Rhodes Scholar. There’s really no reason for anyone on the left to get too upset over her, she’s got not even a sliver of a chance of winning anything. That being said, Leno/Palin will get higher ratings on Tuesday for two reasons. One, Leno is “new” again for the moment. Two, people like seeing a train wreck, so they’re hoping to witness Palin’s stupidity first hand. None of this says anything about Letterman (who is infinitely funnier than Leno) or Romney (who is infinitely more intelligent than Palin).
Sarah blew a couple of early interviews, but that was a year and a half ago and much has changed. All you haters need to see her recent interviews with Chris Wallace and Bill O’Reilly. Much improved! Full of good ideas and common sense. I look forward to watching her kick Obama’s ass in a few years.
Don’t expect Conan to appear on ANYONE’S show until after September. He’s got 40 million reasons to keep quiet. At that point, expect him to launch his own show, probably on Fox.
I love how Republicans are always “stupid”. It’s always the “smart” liberals who are the fastest to start denegrating everyone. Reagan was a “stupid actor”. HW was a “wimp”. W was a “stupid cowboy”. Palin is “just stupid”.
Do you all really want to know what is stupid? Trying to force through a radical political agenda that only has the support of 25% of the American people (healthcare).
And do you really want to hear stupid?!? Try taking “the One” away from his binky (teleprompter) for five seconds and you’re guaranteed four seconds of “uh…umm…uh” yeah, a real motivating speaker that One.
What is guaranteed is because of someone TRULY stupid, there will be either Palin or Romney occupying the Oval Office in 1/2013…if our county survives long enough.
Palin is a novelty, the sexy librarian gov-girl from Alaska who talks with a Pennsylvania (?) accent. She will draw more viewers than Romney.
But if Leno’s show is as poorly written and as low ball as his 10 PM show was, Letterman will win after this week. I wonder if Leno brings back the desk? Having him sit there in the open on an equal status with his guests has served to kind of emasculate him. Many people have noticed this, I hope Jay wakes up soon.
The only reason I’m watching Leno on Tues. is to see Sarah Palin. Otherwise I wouldn’t waste my electricity on any of these idiotic shows.
Palin will be the next president because of the vitriolic irrational hatred of her by the morons on the left. Normal decent Americans just do not go for that nonsense. They are loving, gracious, honest, decent and most of all fair and balanced. There you libs…. up your asses with a ten foot poll spiked with Foxnews…. Obama is a pantywaist compared to Sarah. Sarah is the one that will capture the votes of the folks in 2012. Of that I am sure and the O will be swept up into the dust pan of history….exactly where he belongs.
I love Sarah Palin. I’m an educated woman, and I’m SO SICK of the “she’s dumb” comments. I’m sorry you never got the memo that you can be beautiful and smart simultaneously. You try running the state of Alaska. I’m sure you wouldn’t last three days, much less 2 1/2 years, in which Sarah Palin accomplished EVERY SINGLE ONE of her campaign promises, until people with nothing better to do than waste time hit her with 19 fake complaints that cost her $600,000 out of her own pocket. Obsessed with her, they wouldn’t let her DO HER JOB. Fortunately, Sarah Palin, the day she took her oath of office had a clock installed that counted down how much time left in her term that said: “Time left to make a difference.” She doesn’t waste time. That’s the kind of woman we need, for those who would bother to study her record instead of making sexist comments.
I will be watching Jay Leno Tuesday, and kudos for him for booking Gov. Palin. He’s had on a lot of liberal guests. He’s smart enough to know half the public is conservative. Bright man, Jay Leno.
I am always amused when reading the blogs of Palin haters. The levels of vitriol, condescension, and ridicule directed at this one individual reveals the shallowness in the thinking of those bestowing it. It doesn’t take much brilliance to recite talking points in a cultish mantra sort of way. Let me get this straight, Palin is a dummy as compared to who? Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid?
I would vote for Mitt over Sarah, but I would watch Sarah over Mitt. Both are good people – and notice, we’re not talking about anyone on the left appearing on either show who would bring high ratings. How the tide has turned. Love it.
Glad to see someone have a reasonable thought about Sarah Palin on
the Leno Show.
Wonder why all the left wingers are afraid of Sarah Palin. If they really think she can’t win, you would think they would want the Republican party to nominate her as their Presidential Nomination.
True is….they are scared to death…because they know in a one on one, She would win….although in a close election….over an Obama
re-election.
Sarah for Pres – 2012
Why didn’t Jay put Ron Paul against Mitt Romney on Tuesday. I agree, Sarah Palin is there for jokes. Ron Paul won the CPAC vote, why wouldn’t you have him on the show instead? Makes little sense to me, except for the laugh factor.
I’ll be watching Leno on Tuesday. I like Sarah Palin. I don’t know if she is going to run for President, but I like her political views, the fact that she rose from having virtually nothing to being Governor of Alaska to being a national political figure,and the fact that she has been able to be a wife, mother and politician at the same time. She’s not bad to look at, either. I like Mitt Romney, too, but Sarah is a star.
Palin is a commoner, one of the people, normal; Romney is a wealthy liberal Mormon, not to be trusted. I would take any of them over the douchebag Oduma any day. Leno is has-been and Letterman is a never-was. Neither are funny, both are perverts. Hope they both get canned – I quit watching them years ago. Oduma can suck this!
Leno was kicking Letterman’s butt before moving to the 10pm slot, so once he returns to 11:30 I expect him to resume the #1 spot. As for you left wing punks, stop being haters. Sara Palin is an attractive, interesting woman. Besides, she is a better executive than Obama could ever think of being.
So the future Pres. Romney and VP Palin will be on! Kewl
I like Palin’s energy independence ideas. We should have been working on that instead of the health bill no one really wants.
By the way , don’t all you guys who talk about how dumb Palin is notice Pelosi bizarre moronic twitching or Biden’s hoof in mouth disease. Obama’s ideas really are not very bright either. Why just Palin?
Greetings fellow commentators;
Didn’t read all the comments because I am very busy and important. So if someone has already mentioned this, screw you I was thinking it before you posted it and you suck. So here we go….Conan should have be Dave’s first guest. It would have hit NBC so hard on the ratings that they may have canceled Jay on the first night. That would rock. We love you Big Red just waiting on you to pop out where ever and will be watching you again. No matter who your up against or your lead in is.
Live long and prosper.
Palin will emasculate Letterman’s cheap jokes about her, clearly he’s worried about her taking the Presidency away from his boy, Obama.
At least Palen had the honor to quit a job before she starting running for another one…unlike, say, Gov. Bill Clinton or, say, Sen. Obama.
So there.
I wonder if Sarah Palin will ask Jay about the joke he made about John Edwards knocking up her daughter Bristol. And Jay did it when Bristol was only 17. Probably not. The publicity whore also appeared on SNL a month after SNL did a skit about Todd Palin having incest with his two daughters. She might be a moron…but at least she’s an idiot.
Romney is becoming the GOP favorite of the left because he cannot win even though he is a very good man because he is a mormon.
Letterman is dumber than a sack of rocks.
How many people know that Bush got better grades than Gore and Kerry at Yale–where did letterman go? and got a better score on naval officers exam than Kerry?
Leno will kill Letterman next week. Tom Hanks up against McConaughey? Seinfeld up against Ohno? Damon up against Freeman? Romney up against Palin? Bill Murray up against Foxx? Letterman=rolling out Hollywood has-beens and blatant liberals; Leno=rolling out Hollywood’s and Sports’ most currently popular, non-political figures and/or conservatives. Letterman, here’s a bug in your ear – sports and conservatism is in; liberalism and politically opinionated celebrities are not.
Another thought – NEWSFLASH – these are ENTERTAINMENT shows. What’s with all the “I’ll have more respect for…depending on the interview” comments. If you want serious political interviews, what a news show. People watch Leno and Letterman to be entertained. Got it? And as for Conan, I could not make it through even one of his shows with that creepy hair of his. Totally did not entertain me, and since it was such a distraction from everything else (and he coifed it often enough to make sure it stayed the center of attention) that I could not get past it. NOT just my opinion. No one in my office could stand him, either. We all went over to Letterman. Not with relish, but out of desperation for a few late night laughs.
Sara will blow the doors off poor old Mitt. We watch her because we love
her. Not any stupid reason like the obvious democrats list. She is much smarter than any of these posters and can take any question that is put to her. She will win against Obama and clean up the cesspool we have in DC. These professional politicians with all their experience have busted the good old USA. We need a hockey mom who understands the average American……
Rusty
Letterman has only Hollywood has-beens who are also in-your-face liberals line up, with the exception of Romney (who he will work to diminish); Leno has some of Hollywood’s and Sports’ most currently popular, non-political figures plus the most entertaining conservative of the day on his roster. Smart programming, Leno. Got your ear to the ground. Bug for Letterman’s ear: sports, non-political entertainers and conservatism are in; liberalism (thanks to the liberals) and arrogant, politically opinionated celebs are not. Leno’s line up promises pure entertainment; Letterman is obviously in campaign mode for the November election. Leno is not a backstabber; he is a shrewd businessman who did what anyone else in business would do. Conan was not funny. He was hard to stomach, which left people who do not care for Letterman looking for late night entertainment elsewhere, creating the perfect opportunity for a third party, excuse me, a third network to rise from Leno’s ashes. Politicians don’t want a third party; the big 2 networks didn’t want a 3rd late night show squeezing in on them; 3’s a crowd in the public arena. Conan had to go; Leno had to come back. Now everybody’s happy. Except Conan and his small, but very vocal, number of groupies.
You pathetic losers hating on Sarah Palin should see a psychologist and discuss your ‘women hating’ pathos.
The PALIN HATERS are out in full force.
Well, not really OUT- they are still in the basement googling “Sarah Palin hate articles”.
Shaun White is a wildly popular gold medalist, he’s on the same night as Palin and will be a bigger draw with viewers… that’s not a fair comparison. I’d love to see him and also hear Romney talk about his trip to Vancouver. I might remind you kids that Leno was pushed out of the Tonight Show unfairly and Conan drove it into the ground with poor ratings (that were worse than Leno’s new show, you leave that little tidbit out) Conan’s tantrum just made him look like a sore loser. And Ron Paul supporters recruited students online to show up at CPAC and pack the vote. Nobody else did that so he won. It’s not really a legitimate sign of anything to come. Get off the Capt Crunch and Fruit Loops and eat your Wheaties. PS Thanks for the lineup!
No pro-Conan protest will help…he didn’t have enough viewers to keep the job. Letterman will still be pathetic even with good guests. He used to be funny…now he’s just an angry adulterer with a chip on his shoulder and a penchant for homely women….he is a total waste of their time too.
Jay Leno has old dad humor, you laugh cause its the nice thing to do but its not really that funny. His show will be a bust if it’s anything like his last show. I’m with CoCo!
Only a Democrat would take the time to watch two silly entertainers like Leno and Letterman preaching their non-sensical blather. Surprisingly, their ratings will go up as two Republicans try to put some sense into their show. Maybe the Democrats will finally wise up. For your enlightment, the ratings will rise as more Republicans will watch the show to see how two informed Republicans try to educate the mental midgets that watch the show. Either of the two would make great Presidents although I prefer Sarah.
Jay Leno could not make me laugh at gunpoint. Letterman is funny, but neither can touch Johnny Carson who was especially hilarious when the monolouge bombed.
Jay Leno will tromp Letterman. A no brainer. Dave’s mean spirited,sarcastic attitude and anti-Republican political ramblings are wearing viewers down. He is just no longer entertaining in any way. His whole format is dated (the Ed Sullivan wanna-be) and so is he.
Both Leno’s and Letterman’s guests were chosen to win the ratings for the late night time slot in this very important night for both Jay and David. The Libs should understand that viewers will not tune in because they dislike the guest, just like Conservatives don’t tune it to watch President Obama. The important numbers to watch regarding tonight’s shows IS Not who got the highest share, but the total viewers of these 2 shows compared to previous numbers of these 2 shows. If these numbers are not high, then I will agree that these 2 guests (Palin and Romney) are not liked. My prediction is Leno will win, but Letterman will be higher than recent months.
Pleeeeez…pull the plug on both of these geezers. CBS, have the guts to move Craig Ferguson up!
I have to get up early on weekday mornings, so Leno’s Tuesday night show might be past my bedtime; however, I will definitely be looking for videos of Sarah Palin’s appearance on Leno the next morning at work (they’re just “background noise” while I type, boss, honest!).
Why are you Palin-hating liberals so damn sexist? Why the double standard? What do you have against women being political leaders? Hell, you guys made me sympathetic towards Hilary Clinton in the last primary. And trust me, that’s not a small accomplishment.
I challenge anyone to explain to me why the ambulance chaser, John Edwards was qualified to be president. He was the V.P. candidate in ‘04 and a serious presidential contender in ‘08. Today the country knows Edwards to be the lying scum that he is, but what made him SOOOOOOO qualified to be chief executive then? It’s true Edwards didn’t win the Democratic primary, but he wasn’t ridiculed like Palin is either.
I trust Sarah PALIN. More so than any of the other potential candidates.
Once again the inmates are running the asylum. When did two entertainment people (and I for one do not find David Letterman entertaining)suddenly become the barometer for the direction of the country? Neither of these people should go on any of these shows to include Comedy Central or others. Appealing to the weak-minded who weigh the problems of this country in 30 second sound bites and popularity contests is how we got here in the first place. For those who say she is stupid, umm, really? She quit. Ummm ok, but her reasoning was true for that. She lost? really, the ticket lost, mostly because the top was weak and ran a horrible campaign. I like Mitt, businessman, accomplished, good solid governor of a LIBERAL state, faulty on health care. We currently have a weak president who can’t even kick the ciogarette habit (I did after over 20 years). An inexperienced community organizer who hasn’t held a job, and was only a Senator for 180 days whiel running for President all of those. Really? He hasn’t accomplished anything except ording a pirate killed…good one Barry, glad your colon is clear….carry on, nothing to see here.
Some of the elitist snobbery from other posters is telling. Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin are both a threat because the Obama Presidency is going down faster than Jimmy Carter’s. Mitt and Sarah would be great on the same ticket. (Bet that’ll aggravate some lefties. lol)
I’m so tired of everyone calling Palin an idiot. You don’t run your own business, run a PTA, run a city , and run a state by being an idiot. Whether she’s presidential or whether you agree with her is another story. Show some INTELLIGENT criticism for once!!! When you call her an idiot, it just shoes you can’t pin point any specifics as to why you personally don’t like her.
Well, lets see now, my “take” on this Palin thing and a two-dollar bill will get you one cup of coffee in, I think, most places in the good old US of A.
SO–Palin is a very lovely person with a normal family in today’s world and a very wholesome and happy home life. She leads a life that many of us would very much enjoy. She has accomplished a great deal in her lifetime–the most significant being a Mother and wife in a very “American” family. She also was elected Governor of Alaska–and , from all I can discern, made notable and needed accomplishments during her tenure. She apparently is very well thought of in Alaska. This in itself seems to irritate so many people. She has been accused of not being too bright–but by whom? Compared to most–again it’s only my thinking– members of the party who castigates her she is a mental giant. How can she be “dumb” after being a most successful Governor–and our current president be “absolutely brilliant” following his career as a party organizer and senator? Just my thought!
Considering the screams and accusations emanating from the left I would imagine Sarah has a most brilliant career ahead of her. And I sure hope I am correct!!
Jay will get a bigger audience with Palin than Letterman with Romney. All of you Palin bashers are just part of the Liber-borg. Can’t think for yourselves and spew the same thing other liberals say. She is a lot smarter than you are and has done more for this country than you ever could!
Leno will get the higher ratings on Tuesday night and Palinistas will gloat in their victory that totally had nothing to do with Shaun White being there.
Then in 2012, Republicans nationwide will select Palin over Romney as their Presidential nominee. Exit polls will show the deciding factor to be late night ratings from March 2010. This will be of little comfort as Obama wins reelection in a landslide guaranteeing four more years of crap.
Or possibly nobody will remember this two weeks from now and Romney will be our next President as America chooses on economic issues…
Dodging, obfuscating, misleading and anywhere but transparent, testy Obama continues his socialist agenda borrowing trillions at 43% interest on our 83% inflated dollar, while Romney seems to be the only one around who has the know how to get us out of this economic mess. Who you gonna vote for in the next election? Dah!!!!
