President Barack Obama is a nightmare for political comedians. He's too cool, too smart, too ... good at this whole leadership thing. That was the bill of goods comedians sold us five years ago, an excuse which prevented them from mocking Obama as they did every previous Commander in Chief.
Jay Leno wasn't buying that pile of horse manure.
Leno has consistently tweaked Obama in his Tonight Show monologues since the early days of the president's administration, the same way Leno handled President George W. Bush and President Bill Clinton.
This week, Leno turned up the heat to scorching levels while some of his peers resorted to full spin mode regarding Obama's cascade of scandals. Tuesday night, Leno mocked Obama's commencement address at Morehouse College as well as the president's claim that he learned about the latest scandals hitting his administration from watching news reports.
The ratings leader in his time slot, Leno positively crushed Letterman and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel in the just-released early May sweeps ratings.
It's too late for Leno to save his job, which will fall to Obama sycophant Jimmy Fallon next year. Leno will go out the same way he served late night viewers for the past 20-plus years, poking fun at the president in true satirist fashion.

Maybe this is why NBC is getting rid of Leno
The tv networks and the news media are democrats and the main enemy of the American people
Fox will hire Leno at 10pm and he will beat all the ratings, bank on it.
Do not be surrprise.
Very interesting possibility....like your thinking.
Now that I'd love to see!
“that’s why President Obama holds press conferences: not to explain what’s going on, to find out what’s going on”
LMMFAO!!!!
Jimmy Fallon is a no talent ass clown. All he ever did on SNL was laugh when he wasn’t supposed to. He must have some worn out knee pads to get where he currently is.
Bammy and crew are a target rich material for talented comedians to mine the goods.
” the same way Leno handled President George W. Bush and President Bill Clinton. “
Oh great. Bow Brietbart’s crew is lying to us.
Good. At least one of them knows the score.
Leno rode Linda Tripp almost every night for eighteen months. I finally got so fricken sick of it, I swore I’d never watch his program again. I doubt I’ve seen two of his shows in the last decade.
When folks start talking about his cars and how cool the guy is, I just think of what he did to a single mom with two kids for trying to abide by the law.
He’s a MFAH, not cool at all.

hmmmm Leno not worried about the IRS ?
I remember his ragging on Linda Trip and it was not only disgusting but hypocritical.
After all this was the same Jay Leno who admitted to hiding in an NBC closet to find out his contractual fate.
I only wish he had come out of that closet wearing the stained blue dress.
Ze IRS vould like to have a vord vis you, Mr. Leno.
Is he gay?
That would be so great!
