Jay Leno: I'm Sorry Gays

31. I think Jay Leno is a great entertainer.As a talk show host,I think Johnny Carson did well to choose him.I think lots of celebrities say/do the wrong things.I admire them when they publicly apologize.Ryan Phillippe is a fine actor,one of my favorites,certainly not the first to have an awkward part early in their career.The Tonight Show is without a doubt one of my all time favorites when Johnny Carson hosted it,and even more so with Jay Leno hosting it.It is the only one I will watch.Conan O'Brian is a self indulged wiener who thinks he's hilarious,for which he is not.Get rid of him and keep Jay Leno,make his show longer,say 90 minutes rather than 45 minutes,and you will see the sagging ratings for NBC come up significantly.

32. Get a grip, Harvey. Leno has so much more class than you will ever have.... and more money...... and more respect. Anything else???


And I can't believe the idiot network is going to put Conan O'Brien in Leno's place next year. What a total boring loser Conan is. I'll switch to Letterman at the point.

33. I guess I don't get where the offense worthy of repentance was committed......

Gays don't have looks?

35. Years ago, Jay had on Tim Allen on (in the height of Home IMprovement) and Elton John and they made an innopropriate comment about being gay after Elton came on the couch after playing a set. I've had no respect for Jay's show since.

36. To you people who are bashing Jay Leno: If you don't like him, why do you watch? If that really dull, silly, unfunny O'Brien really does come on the Tonight Show, I hope Leno goes to ABC. I can't imagine life without Leno. No matter what the day is like with all the craziness, I know that Jay will put me in a good mood and make me laugh.

37. #29 Carson did not pick Leno. His choice was David Letterman. That is why he appeared on Dave's show and not on the Tonight show after he retired. He also sent jokes to Letterman which Dave performed on the night Johnny passed away.
Read the Late Shift.

38. Why do Gays whine all of the time? Grow some balls ! Oh, sorry, guess that's impossible.

39. I find nothing even remotely funny about Conan O'brian...He's about as funny as a fungal infection.

Andy Richter was rather amusing though which is interesting because we Germans excel at most things but comedy has never been one of them!

40. Too much politically correct B.S. Forget all this sensitivity stuff and lets move on. Lets be real here. Most people aren't "Gay" and they view gayness as something of an aberration. It is abnormal behavior in the fullest sense of the word and these folks who have all "come out of the closet" have brought this all on themselves. I think Leno is funny most of the time and a good "Gay" joke is funny! Jokes about African Americans, Caucasian Americans, Chinese Americans, Native Americans, Latinos, Mexicans, Arabs, Jews, whatever, should be fair game and we need to be able to laugh at our ownselves and stop being so mambly pambly whimpy! However, we should never resort to inflicting physical abuse upon one another or threatening any group in our society with acts of violence and destruction of their property.

We are just too thin skinned and becoming a society of whimps and cowards. Lets all become strong, recognize our short-comings and vulnerabilities and accept the fact that none of us are perfect. If we spent more time joking about our failures and imperfections and less time insisting on our legislatures passing laws to protect us from ourselves, there would be less class warfare, less racism and less sexism. Lets laugh when the jokes on us and concentrate on the bigger issues that confront all of us.

41. I hardly think TMZ is an authority on unfunny comments.

44. Jay Leno makes the mistake of not listening to his guests. Presenters in other countries do a far better job than Leno, there are YouTubes of Jonathan Ross ((UK) check out his interview with Tom Hanks, hilarious), and of Rove in Australia; both much better and inovative presenters who do not rely heavily on script writers as in the case of Leno. Some of Leno's interviews are so contrived it's cringe making.

45. I never could see any humor in anything Leno does. I always watch Letterman.
