I’m saying that I was in the studio audience when Jay interviewed Sarah Palin (once) and Ann Coulter (twice),
and I did not recognize the Jay Leno that I saw reading Obama talking points at Ted Cruz last Friday.

I never ever saw Leno quite that rough on anyone ever. It was clear he was instructed not to let up or show any humanity. He was reading from a sheet or card and just kept returning to it like a guy with a knife hanging over his head.

I don’t think it was by his NBC bosses; I don’t think he gives a poop about them. I think it might have been from wife and friends, social pressure.

Notice the "cue card" on Leno's desk? Does he usually have it there or was it from some other bit?

I've never seen him use a talking points "prop" like that.

Leno was an ass. Not as big of an ass as Letterman was to Limbaugh, but pretty close.

Why invite someone on to a "comedy show" and turn it into Crossfire?

I don't watch the "Tonight Show" often enough to speak with authority on this...

...but it did seem very "out of character" for Jay to be constantly INTERRUPTING Senator Cruz...

...and ZINGING him with obviously prepared "gotcha" statements, and clearly leftist talking points.

Mavis Leno could be PART of the problem.

From WND.com:

How the Lenos' 'help' actually harms women
Exclusive: Jill Stanek targets Jay and Mavis over fundraiser for feminist group
In 2005, Jay Leno’s wife, Mavis, told the Detroit Free Press:
"Our current conservative, religious government is obsessed with women on life support and with fetuses because they are imaginary people..."
...So Leno can spare me her words of concern for the plight of oppressed women in Afghanistan,
which is why she says she is hosting a Hollywood fundraiser for the Feminist Majority Foundation (FMF)
on April 29 with her soon-to-be NBC prime-time player husband, Jay.
One right they want is for Afghan women to be free to abort. Crazy.
Mavia [sp] Leno is a long-time board member of FMF, which was founded and is headed
by former National Organization for Women President Eleanor Smeal. FMF took over Ms. Magazine in 2001.
Of course, FMF supports abortion on demand, even issuing a congratulatory e-mail when infamous late-term abortionist
George Tiller was acquitted of criminal charges last month and encouraging followers to
"Send Dr. Tiller a message of support for all his work for women!"
FMF sends "community organizers" throughout the country to train abortion mill deathscorts. It supports taxpayer-funded abortion.
FMF promoted access for both men and women to purchase the morning-after pill without a prescription
and is now pushing for minor boys and girls to have the same access. It opposes parental involvement laws before abortion for minors...
