I don't enjoy Jay Leno anymore on NBC, he has jumped the shark - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 12-10-2011, 12:08 PM

I don't know if they changed writers but he is not the same and I decided that in 2012 I won't be a fan of his show anymore. Ten years ago I couldn't wait until 11:35pm because I knew the monolouge would be great. Now it's the same dumb jokes every night of the Republican candidates.

And my mom is right, I don't think someone with MONEY should be telling jokes about how bad the economy is.

Goodbye JAY you rocked from 1996 to 2006 but you fell off after that

I agreee about Leno, but I never found the guy all that great to begin with.

They should have given Conan more than seven months. They gave Leno a few years to bring his numbers up.

Personally, I'm a Ferguson/Fallon guy now myself. Conan too has lost his edge. Such a shame!!

tvfreak1987 · 12-11-2011, 04:36 PM

I haven't liked Leno since Conan was forced off The Tonight Show.

megamanj2004 · 12-23-2011, 01:43 PM

I never liked Leno as host of The Tonight Show since 1992.

And it's a shame that Conan was only given mere months to raise the roof on the ratings while Leno was given forever and some un-Godly number of days to raise the roof on his slumping ratings.

Oh well. Letterman may not be #1 and he himself isn't as funny as used to be, at least he's still having the last laughs at NBC's expense.

Sorry but Leno is still by far the best late night host out there!

His monologue may not be as good as it was 10 years ago but it's still the best in late night!

Letterman is a boring old hack who puts you to sleep! Conan is not even a real comedian since he has NO stand up experience and wrote for a CARTOON!

Leno is still the king of late night and still the best out there!

He is still funny not just every single night like he was in 2000 and 2001

It's very tough to do a 30 joke monologue every night for almost 20 years you know?

Well that's why he is paid the big bucks

Jimmy Fallon ftw.

Leno and Letterman are just...beyond. They've been done for years. I guess they still appeal to the older crowd, though, if only for nostalgia purposes. I certainly don't get their appeal.

The appeal for Leno is his monologue is the best out there!

It's why Johnny Carson picked Leno to be guest host out of HUNDREDS of other comedians! Carson said Leno is one of the funniest comedians out there when he introduced him as guest host on Tonight!

The main thing I don't like is how he doesn't talk about sports anymore like he used to. He makes one quick joke about sports and then moves on to something else
