Holy shit. Leno is now anything but funny.
Hard to believe how bad he is now. I was never a fan, but at least he occasionally made me chuckle.

Tonight, he simply sucks.

3. He used to be a lot better in the old days when he was a
regular on the old Letterman show. Had a bit of an edge back then. But he's been totally twinkified since the tonight gig.

5. Eh. He lost me years ago
When he brought Yuri Geller on and fawned all over him it was like he was pissing on Johnny. I never watched him again after that.

6. He was a great stand up. As soon as he signed that contract
something happened. :shrug:

15. Yeah, all that steady money made him soft, squishy and
conservative, and not just politically. He stopped taking any chances. He got stale practically overnight.

But ooh, he was wickedly funny when he was doing standup.

16. It's really hard to keep updating your shelf life.
I used to have to practically wrestle Doug because he'd want to go with a bit that he knew was guaranteed to get a big laugh. But, the laugh you get because people don't know what else to do with their mouths is different than the laugh you get because you're being funny.

12. When Leno had Rumsfeld on his program I vowed to never watch him again.
I couldn't believe he let Rummy go on his program.
That was it for me.
I knew he was sort of right-wing from all of the Gore jokes he had doen in 2000, but he just went off the deep-end later.

14. And this Howie Mandel thing is completely unwatchable.

We should have some kind of alert thing for when MM comes on. This is horrible.

18. I can't stand him.
He's so condescending and rude to MM it's disgusting. Might as well just fly a GOP flag over his desk.

19. Well at least the MM interview was worth the wait.
And Leno actually did a pretty nice job on the interview, IMO. To my complete surprise.

20. He is still doing Clinton jokes..

Jon Stewarts writers have the easiest job in the world..

They just read the daily news from the Bush freaks and it writes its own jokes.. a goldmine for any comedian..

Leno cant or will not do that.. he just re-hashes old jokes from a decade ago.

Pathetic sellout hack

I dont watch that garbage
