Note how Jay will let Dennis rant on and on and never argue, the way he does with Bill Maher. I believe Jay is becoming more conservative and doesn't want to admit it to keep from alienating liberal show guests. But notice that American flag pin on his lapel, and some of the jokes in his recent monologues.

Yes, noticed the flag pin on BOTH Jay and Dennis! Love it!Now Dennis is ripping on the environmentalists...asking what about Alaska (for oil.) Doubting global warming...thanking the Prez and the troops! He's great!

Something good must be happening to all the comedians when they entertain the troops.

Although I think he will make jokes against all politicians as long as they don't hit too deep, I think Leno strives to be like the entertainers of old, like Carson and Bob Hope, who could be well-liked by all, and would *never* not support their country in time of war. Even Letterman strives for that. All those who last the long term must not be too political on either side but always patriotic. It is a tough balance. It would not surprise me if Leno is doing or eventually does do stints for the USO... I think he would like for that legacy that Bob Hope has.

I agree - Jay Lenow is going back to his American roots.

I've seen this change coming over him just in the past two months.

What's Letterman doing?
