“He’s right..Leno would tell Obama jokes during Obama’s 8 years and commie NBC canned him..cant have anyone poking fun at the messiah.”
My recollection is slightly different.
For a few years of the Fraud’s illegal reign, Leno did not make jokes about the Fraud, and I remember him being quoted as saying that there was nothing about him to joke about.
Until it looks like about 2013....

Then he lasted less than a year...
“After The Jay Leno Show was canceled in January 2010 amid a host controversy, Leno returned to host The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on March 1, 2010.[2] He hosted his last episode of The Tonight Show on February 6, 2014.”

Thanks, that clears up the cobwebs.
Agree. But IIRC, he was asked why he didn’t make jokes about Obama and he sai ‘he’s not funny’. That was AFTER the ‘57 states’ and ‘my Muslim faith’ comments. I figured he had been told not to joke about Obama. NBC had signed a contract with Fallon a year and a half before Leno left, and that is why Leno was out of the show when he was. But yes, he did make some mild jokes about Obama in his later years as host.
Miss Leno.......we always DVR’d the show to watch the monologue, but rarely bothered with many of the guests.
