In honour of Leno's ****ty Show back on air...
- Thread starter largoembargo
- Start date
I was kind of surprised when they first gave the show to Leno. I don't like it when it seems he almost has to explain some of his jokes, if you get what I am referring to.
However he is still better than any of letterman's top ten lists.
All the current light-weights would be unable to kiss the shoes of former greats like Jack Paar, Johnny Carson etc., without reading their cue cards, with jokes written by underpaid slaves, far smarter than they.
Just look at jerks like Jon Stewart. Or that idiot from Scotland. Or Conan the Barbarian. Or that idiot with two ears from two different fathers.
And the worst and least talented of them is the gap-toothed idiot, Dave Letterman.

im watching it right now, and his skit of you be the nominee was pretty funny...
I like it when he walked into the guys apartment and said it looks like a bomb just went off in here, oh wait make that a bong just went off in here lol, and the rest were hilarious
BUT the rest of the show sucked, even that interview with morgan freeman

I don't find Leno all the time funny but I do remember why I have some big laffs on occasion with him....
When he does the ads in newspapers which are "screwed up" or "really strange"....it is fascinating to see what people print in paper these days and because it's printed it's there to go over and over again....(kinda like forums ahem)....hehe
Yeah, I go along with that. My only problem with Leno is that he doesn't seem to fit the mold of his predecessors on that show. If you look at Steve Allen, Jack Parr, and Johnny Carson, they all had a mildly self-effacing, almost gentle manner that neither Letterman or Leno can match.
Leno doesn't tell jokes, he is a joke. O'Brian is even worse and Letterman is an Alpha#1 a$$hole. Ferguson is kinda funny, but not one will ever approach Carson as a talk-show host.

Carson set the bar very high - as a matter of fact I don't know any comedian who comes close to him live, on television or film. He could sit there, no facial expression and bring everyone to tears of laughter.
My mom used to "feel sorry for his wife" having him around all the time and my dad would say: "which wife?" lol....

Hmmmmmm dyathink that comedy these days relies too much on the "obvious" rather than the smooth stuff?" More like The Three Stooges?
I've always preferred the humor I have to pause and think over because it comes from a more subtle place than from the guys to do sight gags...
