Jay does not have a good reputation within the industry but I’ll say this for him: he has always worked clean and for the most part, non-politically. I can still remember how brilliant he was at a small comedy club in LA back in the 80s. Colbert is a pig. An unfunny pig.
You said it.
I also saw Leno back in the early ‘80’s. I don’t recall in any detail what he said, but I do remember that it was funny.
I remember that he told some jokes about his elderly parents; he talked about them in a way that was funny but loving at the same time. Something about a VCR.
I was talking to a friend of mine last night about “comedians” today. If they couldn’t talk about sex or bodily functions and couldn’t use the “f-word” most of them couldn’t talk at all. He said “they don’t have a sense of humor.” I couldn’t disagree at all.
