“Democrats warned that if the debt ceiling isn’t raised, the government would cease to function. How would you be able to tell?” – Jay Leno

I really love reading this feature on your blog, but I just wanted to say that if you’re only going to have time to watch one late night show, there are much better options than Jay Leno. He’s pretty much the least funniest person to be allowed to call himself a comedian.
Wasn’t my fault. All of the other late night comedians were on vacation.
I try to be unbiased about the late night shows, but I actually agree with you. A few years ago I thought Leno was funny, but he must have gotten rid of (or lost) his best writers because he just isn’t hitting on all cylinders any more.
Oh, that’s sad news. I guess Leno is better than nothing (barely). I’m not sure he retained a lot of his writing staff after his “Jay Leno Show” failed and he stole Conan’s show.
Oh good, someone else raised their eyebrows! Honestly, nobody else? Maher? Stewart? Colbert? Recycle if you must, but please don’t torment us with the worst comedian that ever drove a classic show off a cliff.
ok, ok, I’ll post some Bill Maher. sheesh!
