I did not see the show, but from what I heard, Jay was pretty rough on Ted...
Check out THIS solid analysis, that Jane Chastain just posted on www.wnd.com :

Leno gets a lesson in Cruz control
Exclusive: Jane Chastain says senator won the day on 'Tonight Show'
Jay Leno is a car aficionado. He collects them. He knows them.
He works on them and delights in driving them.
However, Friday night the junior senator from Texas gave the late-night comic a lesson
on one option he may have missed: Cruz control.
I am a big Leno fan.
I’m rarely up that late, but I tape his shows and
watch his opening monologue the next night for laughs.
His political jokes are sometimes over the top, but, for the most part,
they accurately reflect what is going on in Washington and give us some much-needed comedy relief.
His barbs are often cleaver and insightful.
Another thing I appreciate about Leno is that he picks on everyone, Democrats, Republicans and Libertarians.
It makes no difference.
Leno claims to be fiscally conservative but socially liberal.
Although he and his wife support Democratic candidates, for the most part, he is extremely fair.
Not surprising, among late-night hosts, his show has
the largest number of self-identified conservative and Republican viewers.
I usually hit the "off" button after the monologue but occasionally
stay tuned for another segment that catches my interest.
Leno is almost always affable and polite with his guests,
even with those he has mercilessly skewered and those with whom he openly disagrees.
The rare exception was his treatment of Michele Bachmann.
It was out of character and shameful!
Clearly, Leno was out to end her political career and he succeeded.
Friday night, it was evident that Leno was out to do the same thing to Ted Cruz.
The attempt fell flat. To use another automotive term, it backfired,
leaving the senator with a new group of fans and thousand of others who want to hear more.
Clearly, the Leno interview was a setup...

Clearly, the Leno interview was a setup...
Here's MORE from Jane Chastain:

...Clearly, the Leno interview was a setup.
The first personality in the guest chair usually just slides over when the next guest appears.
It didn’t happen with Bachmann, and it didn’t happen Friday night.
Obviously, these celebs were warned ahead of time to get out of Dodge.
Leno was tense in the introduction....
-- snip --
There were none of his usual softballs.
Leno’s first question was meant to cut Cruz down to size. Leno:
"I’ve been reading a lot about you lately,
and they describe you as aggressive, arrogant and abrasive. Accurate?"
-- snip --
...Leno is well-known for his "Jaywalking" segments where he tests young people
on their knowledge of major political and historical events.
However, in this interview, it was the comedian who showed his ignorance
when he accused Cruz of shutting down the government and then stated,
"John Roberts – Republican, pretty much – said this is the law.
Obamacare is the law of the land. Let’s move on.
Isn’t that true?"
Leno based other questions around these regurgitated liberal lies:
•People lost their jobs (Cruz’s fault) during the government shutdown.
(Government workers got free, paid vacations.)
•Cruz has focused on social issues.
•Cruz’s father (a pastor) has been talking against gays.
•Cruz is against gun laws that require background checks.
•Obamacare will help his state of Texas.
So, where is Leno getting his information?
My guess is from his wife, Marvis, who is heavily involved with Eleanor’s Smeal’s Feminist (not) Majority.
Just check out its website.
It’s full of feminist rants, lies, half-truths and misleading information.
Liberals simply cannot win their arguments without them...
