Lousy Leno

[annuin]

Watched Jay Leno last night. That really is a shit tv show (if I watch late night talk it's Letterman, not Leno, and that's rarely). They don't start with the interviews, which last all of say 5 minutes each, until after a half hour of Leno doing self-serving wanking. He does this lengthy opening monologue which is generally filled with lame and crap jokes, which would get him booed off stage in any comedy club. Bleh, that was mostly a waste of time.

Letterman is much funnier, and he also spends more time actually talking to his guests, rather than the three or so questions each that Nicole Kidman and Orlando Bloom answered. At least I know not to actually tune in for the first 20-25 minutes on Monday for Leno's Jude Law interview.

Sorry, but Leno is the man. Letterman is getting lame in his old days, and his guests have not been that great lately. Leno also has the best skits, and the Headlines rule. later

Leno might have better guests, but he underuses them. And his jokes are just crap in comparison to proper comedians.

*shrug*

It's not the first time I've seen his show, but it's the first time I've actually bothered to watch most of it, and I was grossly underwhelmed by him.
