I apologize if this has been covered. I searched for Leno and Tonight Show and got nothing.
I was told that Jay Leno cracked wise about Cher in his monologue last night and the joke bombed. So he said something to the effect, "What do you want from me? I can't do Bush jokes anymore. All of a sudden he's a smart guy!" This "gem" bombed as well.
I'd like confirmation or straightening out. Whichever is applicable, please. I find it hard to believe it was that bad. Surely it would have been covered here if it was.
Thanks.
I was knee-high then, but on some retro show they went over his stint with ripping the tags off of mattresses and pillows (changed the industry!)
Also, Steve Allen. THAT was class. I heard him on a radio interview around 1996-ish ... very conservative.
Which is probably why we didn't hear much from him in the latter days.
He was absolutely disgusted with Hollywierd, the sewer pit it has turned into. He was enraged with the 'education' system and the political correctness (brainwashing I think he called it) and the "functioning illiterates" it has produced (that term I remember!).
He said something to the effect that his views had changed over the years. That, and the fact he got little or no "airtime" in his waning years leads me to think his opinion was not wanted in the LA crowd et al. Sometimes the quiet brings more knowledge than the babble.
Again, I'll keep an open mind about him, but he did have talent.
I agree - I use to really be interested in their lives, their opinions and all of it. Some I thought were beautiful and some were my heroes.
Not anymore. I have lost all interest in them. I don't know why or when it changed but now all I see are no moral airheads who live and entertain with filth. So many of them base their appeal on pushing the envelope but it has been pushed so far, they are only leading to pornography as a career.
Such a void in my life - I use to go to the movies and at least rent one every Fri. I even quit that since too many times my stomach actually turned watching the movie. It was no longer entertainment - merely trash.
The movie industry giants have shot themselves in the foot with the drug culture ruining the talent and the liberalism/socialism they teach and preach. Lately I've noticed that many of the videos don't even make sense. They are just churned out to provide the renters more movies. Again, they made the mistake of thinking people wouldn't notice if a storyline was thrown together with big holes in it.
