Jay Leno

[Christina]

Leno continues to serve as the driving force behind cutting-edge comedy. Tonight's guest? Jeff Dunham.

My DVR is set.

I ... I'm ... I feel I should comment, but I"m so enervated by this I can't really say anything.

Didja watch? Was it awful?

My recording of 30 Rock caught an after the credits rendition of Tennis Night in America leading into Leno.  Horrible.

Speaking of which, what the hell is Comedy Central thinking with the Jeff Dunham Show? Were they really impressed by the Frank TV business model?

My 6yo daughter saw a commercial for that and said 'you've got to be kidding me'. So she's not the target demographic either.

I think the target demo is people fascinated by the concept of puppets.

He's been around forever, too. I remember MST3K episodes from 20 years ago where "a Woozle whose name is peanut" was a go-to joke.

I like looking at last night's ratings and seeing Jay Leno in the bottom for his time slot every goddamn time. So satisfying.

Oh, except for Eastwick, Leno has a point on that show. I don't know. The kids don't like John Updike.

I believe it was Jimmy Kimmel who once called Jay Leno, "the McDonald's of comedy." Probably the smartest thing that Kimmel has ever said.

Although if Leno is "the McDonald's of comedy," what is Kimmel? The Arby's of comedy?

I remember that and had no idea it was Dunham-related.  Christ, that was a long time ago.

I thought I remembered him.  The old man and the purple thing had a tv show at one point, I think.  Even then, I knew he wasn't funny.

It'll be satisfying until NBC does something to further fuck over Conan.

The Big Lots of comedy? The K-Mart of comedy? The Bob's Big Boy of Comedy?

Leno's crap lead-in is killing Conan's ratings.

Fun fact: late night shows are important for morning news ratings because people are too lazy to change the channel.
