I really think that Jay Leno is really funny. His comedy bits are usually good and he manages to keep everything somewhat fresh. I like the fact that he doesn't try to do too much and he lets the audience play into his laughs. I also think that he is a good interviewer and has a niche for having a good setting with his celebrities that he hosts. I think that he is more funny than David Letterman and can be the funniest person when he is spot on. I watch his show when I can and I like his guests, especially if they're the ladies! Thank you.
Jay Leno is my favorite night show host. The way he tells jokes is great, and he has a great personality. Sometimes, even when a joke is not very good, he still manages to make it funny. It takes a great comedian to do that! His show is the most entertaining night show, and Jay Leno is the best when it comes to his monolouge. Aside from being a comedian, Jay Leno also writes articles for Popular Mechanics, usually about the latest in cars. Theres a reason The Tonight Show with Jay Leno is the most popular night show. Jay Leno is a comedy genius.
Jay Leno was born James Douglas Muir Leno on April 28, 1950 in New York City. Before hosting The Tonight Show, he used to be a well-known comedian in local clubs. In my opinion, I think he has very great talent on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He has been married to Mavis Nicholson since November 20, 1980. He met his wife while performing at a Los Angeles comedy club and saw in the audience. After more than 20 years together, Jay and Mavis have no children. In my opinion, I will miss Jay Leno when he leaves The Tonight Show in 2009.
Many people will say that Jay Leno was no Johnny Carson and I cant say I disagree, not because its true but becuase I didnt grow up watching Carson. Today on the other hand, Jay Leno blows every other late night talkshow host and proberly all talkshow host including daytime tv hosts out of the water. The beginning of watching Late Night With Jay Leno it is like so funny and ofcourse the whole show is funny but watching the beginning its very funny which Conan O Brian is not very funny. Yeah Conan will replace Leno when he leaves but Conan is no Leno on the simple fact that Conan really isnt that funny and neither is Letterman or the one of the worst in nighttime Jimmy Kimmel. All I have to say is Leno is talented and he will be missed when he steps down in 2009.
Sure, some of his jokes lead to silence, awkward pauses. But Jay Leno is someone who doesn't ever break under pressure. Think about it: running a show, almost five days a week; he rarely reuses jokes, unless they ran well just the day before, and he always adapts to the audience. His interviews are interesting as long as the guest is interesting. Headlines and Jaywalking are personal favorites of mine, as he just lets loose the more idiotic minds of our world. What he needs to improve on, however, is his panic under time. I've noticed that he sometimes just drops some punchline right at the critical point where he could have gone farther, and sometimes he laughs too much himself during headlines, leading to wasting time. However, Jay Leno is still a guy who always finds something funny and insightful in the world's rather chaotic happenings.
