In reply to the discussion: Jay Leno’s monologue tonight really sucked.. [View all]Warpy
(111,690 posts)33. Leno is just afraid he's gonna get his taxes hiked
Stupid ass wouldn't even notice it unless there was another classic car or fancy motorcycle he wanted to shoehorn into that enormous garage of his.
He was wickedly funny back in his salad days in New England, when he'd play Elks Clubs in between club gigs. He only got squishy, conservative and unfunny when he went to LA and started to make serious money.
Watch Letterman. He stayed on the east coast and he stayed funny.
