I thought it was a great finale. Well done and appropriate. I've always liked Jay. He may not have always made me laugh and some of his stuff may not have always appeared 'fresh', though I did laugh plenty), but he never did or said anything that turned me off. I think he's a class act and will miss him. I actually got a little misty eyed when he said his final goodbye. Call me what you want.

Never thought Leno was a good host, really. Incredibly stale monologues, even when trying to be topical, and not a good interviewer.

Didn't read the whole thread but did he do a Monica Lewinsky joke? shite, he rode that joke I know up until last year.





Has he ever been funny? Well, besides to the 60 something wheat farmers of Kansas?

No Monica....but he did try an O.J. joke in his monologue.


Wish I was kidding.

Tuned in because it was TV "history"....haven't seen Leno in years. It was nice to see I hadn't been missing anything.

I'm glad this thread is still here. Nothing better than a place to remind people how much of a cocksucker Leno is

I liked Leno when I was a kid. Then I grew up and realized what a hack he is. Conan was always better. Fallon is better and will do a better job. I'm interested to see how Seth Meyers does with Late Night.

I really do think it's just people who fall asleep during the news and leave Leno on, or forget to turn him off when they are having sex.

Who in their right mind watches Leno?

Here is a funny and old bit of Bill Hicks shitting on Leno

I've heard rumors that Jay might go to CNN so I guess the OJ and Clinton jokes will have a place to live on. Does CNN do any fricking news anymore?

... Didn't laugh. Perhaps Bill Hicks should spend more time working on funny material and less time working on disparaging somebody who made it out of 100 person capacity smoking lounges.

If you don't think Bill Hicks is funny, then I have to seriously question your sense of humor. That's like saying Doug Stanhope isn't funny. We need angry assholes who attack everyone and everything.

It's not that I think Bill Hicks himself isn't funny. Frankly, I haven't heard nearly enough of his stand up to form that opinion. The linked bit about Jay Leno was just boring. It wasn't a joke. It was a rant. And it didn't even have a funny bent to it. It was just him hating Jay Leno; which is fine, I get it. I'm not a fan of Jay Leno either, but I'm not standing on a stage getting paid to try to make people laugh.

There are plenty of comedians out there who have a lot of hate in their heart and let it out in a funny way--Bill Burr immediately springs to mind--but the linked bit by Hicks did nothing for me other than tell me that he needed to check his butthurt.

ETA: See also - Dennis Leary, Lewis Black, Louis C.K., Sam Kennison, etc.
