Leno's Jokes Cause an Uproar
Tony award-winning playwright Jeff Whitty doesn't find comedian Jay Leno very funny.
Whitty, writer of the Broadway musical comedy 'Avenue Q,' fired off a letter to 'The Tonight Show' host criticizing Leno's "gay-baiting" jokes.
Whitty is upset over Leno's ongoing quips at the expense of homosexuals. In a letter posted on Whitless.com, Whitty specifically cites a 'Tonight Show' skit involving a horse made up in a "gay" way, in what Whitty calls a "tired mockery" of 'Brokeback Mountain.'
"I know you know gay people, Mr. Leno," Whitty writes in his letter. "Are they just jokes to you, to be snickered at behind their backs?"Click here... it's not over yet
