(Another reason: he’s just not that funny any more.)
No, and like all these other comedians who should’ve stuck to just comedy but have gone (liberal) political - stewart, maher, franken et al - he’s gotten vicious and mean. (Stewart not so much, he’s just really snarky).
I still like Leno, though. He’s a fair comedian and, I think, a nice human being. His ratings versus the other late-night guys reflect it, too.
Oh, and another notable exception is Craig Ferguson. He loves this country and makes no bones about it. If you can find a clip online of his taking the oath and becoming a citizen (he did a segment on his show about it a year or two ago), watch it. Very moving.
“I still like Leno,”
Is he still telling Bush/Cheney jokes?
Leno is a coward and he isn’t funny.
