You can't expect late night comics to "both sides" it when there's a republican White House, Congress, Senate, and Supreme Court. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Non political jokes like OJ and Monica Lewinsky.
Seriously. I got tired of him shortly after he took over, and that hasn't changed.
When I saw Lenovo laptops I figured he reinvented himself as a computer
The guy who literally did nothing but OJ Simpson Trial jokes for 2+ years thinks today's talk show hosts are soft.
Sounds like half the audience has no sense of humor.
And that is why no one speaks of him warmly.
Comics always go after those in power. And that’s only a problem when a certain side is in power. Jay Leno may have a giant chin but he sure as hell has a glass jaw here.
No one gives a shit what that lump says.
"Why are we focusing all of our criticism on just the Nazis?" -Leno in 1934 Germany
The way I view it, if you're an out and proud nazi, I don't want you in my fanbase anyway, and if I alienate you and make you leave by saying that, GOOD. Because I don't want you here anyway. I don't even care if I lose more than half my hypothetical fanbase, since who wants a toxic fanbase?
He was always a facile, glib dork.
If I ever find Jay Leno funny, that's how I know that Dr. Kevorkian will be coming by my house soon.
I don't want to hear about comedy advice from Jay "Captain Slutshamer" Leno.
Why is it that half of the old white male comics constantly whine about how comedy is all about politics, while the other half whine about how you can't talk about anything edgy anymore?
Leno does accidentally have half a point. Broadcast network TV's audience is disproportionally older. So while nowhere near half of people in America like Trump, it might be much closer to half of a network TV show's broadcast audience, since that medium is longer representative of the population.
And then they made fun of Nixon and he had them taken off the air
Thin skinned man-babies.
Trumps the world largest maggot on the hook,and the fish are biting .
this is the same dude who hangs out with tim allen?
If people want to see more Democrats roasted they should elect more Democrats.
Never forget: Leno's brand of dumb-it-down comedy took the McDonald's coffee cup scalding and turned the victim into a whiny scam artist. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...
I think about this all the time.
You just know that at some point someone (maybe his wife; she’s smart) briefed him on the actual facts of the case but he made a deliberate choice to ignore reality and stick with the bit.
Conan's 12:30 show was apolitical and genuinely funny for as long as it was on. You can do that, but you have to have Conan's particular absurd genius for silly and smart, and nobody but Conan does these days.
Then Conan did an apolitical 11:30 show and ... Jay killed it.
He certainly didn't take it on the chin.
Also helps if you have the Walker lever: youtu.be/K2_SvX4PEbU?...
And you don't (and they didn't) hire the host of the Colbert Report to run an apolitical talk show
Let's also remember how gleefully Jay Leno punched down on Monica Lewinsky.
I’m cursed with doing and knowing everything too soon. bsky.app/profile/john...
Also never forget all the scheming he did to get The Tonight Show, and then the crappy way he treated Conan. youtu.be/VaJgLYyKbFQ
So in short, I care what Leno thinks about Late Night as much as I care what Kid Rock thinks about the current state of music. youtu.be/SqiClteVP4c
This episode made me so, so angry. I forgot I was mad at him too… 🤬
Fuck Jay Leno
I appreciate the irony here considering this take will surely alienate some of the 12 Leno fans out there.
Fuck Leno. Only old people liked him when he was on air and now they’re mostly gone. So is he.
How many jokes did this man crack about Monica Lewinsky? He can go crawl back off into his garage filled with supercars and leave the rest of us alone.
Hoping he shuts all the doors and leaves the cars running.
This. Those jokes were a cornerstone of his shtick for a while.
if leno had his way they'd give the tonight show to some dippy goof who tousles the president's hair
Combining humor that plays best for boomers in rural Idaho and a zero-sum attitude to career success makes for a regressive asshole. Who knew.
his potato shaped head makes me nervous
fuck Leno. he was always an unfunny hack
Never found him funny. Boring, yes. Funny? no.
Conan was the best. Masturbating bear > politics
Jay made 19,000 jokes about Monica Lewinsky being fat
He wants Colbert’s slot
