If Jay Leno Wants Better Reviews He Can Start By Removing the Lapel Flag

Posted By John Nolte On September 15, 2009 @ 4:57 pm In Entertainment, Featured Story, Politics

Critics love David Letterman. They love him because he’s mean and liberal and does everything they demand: further the leftist agenda through the brutal use of humiliation to target any public figure (or their child) who might derail Leftist causes.

And contrary to conventional wisdom, Letterman’s not edgy. In fact, he’s just the opposite. Doing exactly what those who can criticize you want you to do is not edgy. Kissing the big Manhattan/Los Angeles bi-coastal a*! of the elite is not edgy. He’s their jester; their puppet; their b!@*#. Worse, he’s about as funny as watching your old, half-deaf Uncle intimidate, humiliate and demean your Aunt and then smile at the rest of the family as though he’s just reaffirmed his manhood. Letterman reminds me of the Jason Robards character in “Parenthood” in more ways than you can imagine. In other words, he’s a jerk, but in a sad end-of-his-life kind of way.

Leno gets two thumbs up just for the lapel.

And a big thumbs down for having Michael Moore as a guest tonight.

I like two things about Leno. That he’ll wear a lapel pin is one (don’t know if he believes it but he’s wearing it). Second he likes autos and likes driving them.

That’s probably all I have in common with him.

As far as NBC goes for programming, I am sure some people are grateful for putting the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on at 9 pm (CST) instead of 10:30 pm.

Forget the thumbs.

Michael Moore; actors Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz appear in the 10 at 10 segment.

(Re NPR panning Leno:) I’m surprised their review wasn’t interrupted by a twenty-minute pledge drive promising a butt-ugly tote bag and a CD of “Neil Sedaka Goes Cajun” for Premium Members.

NPR would find a way to do something even worse. They always do.

Jay Leno is a good guy despite his politics. I knew this girl who had spina bifida, who eventually died. He sent her letters in the days before email, even came to the funeral.

And contrary to conventional wisdom, Letterman’s not edgy.

Breitbart never had his early 1980's raquetball appointment at the "Raquet Center" in Burbank at the same time as (then little-known, but recognizable) did I and Letterman.

In the showers, Letterman was commonly known as a "looker".....his eyeballs never, ever, ever rolled above the navel of whoever he was ogling.

That's "edgy".....

NBC’s last gasp for a prime time winner during the week. The ‘same old crap show’ is so bad they cut advertising rates 50%. The younger generations have no interest in viewing a rehashed Jack Parr show.

Boy, since we canceled the televised programs we haven’t missed a thing.

I guess Leno’s trying to have it both ways. Not on my dime or time.

I didn’t realize I used the sidebar. As a matter of fact, I don’t even know how to sue the sidebar.

“sue” the sidebar?! Too much legal talk.

Begging your pardon, Admin. Mod. Will pay closer attention next time.

Dave Letterman was edgy in the early 1980s. Loved him then. Now you have to pay me to watch his unwatchable show.

I read in another article Jay actually told Bush and Cheney jokes last night. What could be less funny now. After 9 months I guess 0bama has done absolutely nothing for comedians to comment on. Gee, I guess he is totally humorless, or he has made NO mistakes. Ha ha.

I loved his fake obama interview yesterday. Jay had some great jokes at the expense of the Zero.

He also conducted about an 8 minute “fake” interview with Zero and had a lot of zingers at Zero’s expense.

never been a regular Leno watcher but on the ranodm occasions I did, he seemed [prtty veen handed on the political jokes. Given the critical role the opening monolog plays on his show, he couldn't afford to lose half his audience in the first ten minutes by being relentlessly partisan. Something he obviously learned from the irreplaceable Johnnie!

If Jay had a show on about cars and car collecting, I would actually watch that.

I have no interest in his lame political jokes and all the fake hollywood posturing crap.

I'd watch that, too. Something like Top Gear would be great, especially if he lured in other celebrity car fanatics as guests.

I have no idea how many cars he has, but I bet if he did one half-hour show on each car once a week, it could go on for a couple of years. Plus all the cars he doesn’t own, but could do stories on as well. I’m sure someone already told him he should do this, but he isn’t listening.
