Leno Needs Writers Under the Hood

He better be bringing his team of writers with him when he moves to that 10pm show -- because on his own, Jay Leno ain't so funny.

Jay Leno: Click to watch
Last night at a 76 gas station, Jay dropped a joke that is even less original than "Hot enough for you?"

17. he can write his own jokes...remember when the writers went on strike? He wrote his own stuff and was much funnier..he should go back to writing. Connan is my fav and can't wait to watch Fallon!

18. Never knew why he got so famous. He isn't funny. I only watch headlines and Jay-Walkers and then I turn the channel.

19. Jay Leno IS the Best of the Best!! Number ONE in ratings for year after year after year. Jay will do just fine with his new show and a change of hour. Nightline on ABC continues to out-rank David Letterman and so that will continue too. David Letterman is SO over. Nightline beats his show all the time now. David Letterman's ratings continue to decline. Conan O'brien has his audiences based on age range. Time will tell what his ratings are going to do when he takes over the time slot. If ABC changes Jimmie Kimmel hour show to the time slot of Conan and David Letterman, it will be interesting to see who will do better. NOBODY can beat Jay and they won't either. Jay continues to bring in his core base audience and that will sustain him even when he changes hours to his new show. Jay IS #1!!!

20. He has to be funny at the freakin' gas station? Says who? Do you expect Justin Timberlake to start singing just cause they spot him pumping gas, or would you say he sucks because he didn't start performing for the stupid paparazzi?

21. Never interupt a brilliant auto enthusiast in mid inspection. He's on another plateau, a spiritual unity with the gods of calibrated carburators and driver-machine harmonization through design and operational dynamics.

23. so wheres the joke he dropped? whats a matter you think he is a trained monkey and has to drop a joke for you everytime you see him?

The missed joke here was the idiot who was filming him, or maybe TMZ for even bothering to air this... whats next " a star breathes air!!

25. Wow, a bunch of the people who posted are idiots! "Whats up with the duct tape on the side" Its a Audi R8, one of the most beautiful cars to come out in the past 5 years. Pretty sure you'll never be able to afford one.

And he clearly did not perform a moving violation. Unless there is a sign that says Right Turn Only, it is okay to make a left out of a lot/driveway.
