I think highly of Leno and wish him well.....but NBC can tank for all I care. Good riddance to those sell-outs.

Looks like Leno’s strategy of booking hateful Leftist guests isn’t working out too well.

Who would have thought that comedy would not do well in the already well established “drama hour”?

The losers at NBC, that’s who.

...will pay off when fresh episodes of his show go up against reruns on other networks...

If their idea of winning is by putting new episodes against reruns, they are in deep trouble.

Anyone could have predicted that Leno’s show would do this. From the snippets that I have seen of his show, he has taken his late night format to primetime - and it ain’t flying. Compared to the hype, Leno hasn’t been able to deliver and he hasn’t been able to break away from the Late Night format.

I wish him well (even though he’s an Obama supporter), but this was a dumb move!!

Guess those old Bush-bashing jokes aren’t pulling in the viewers like they did for almost nine years, Leno. You better find another schtick.

They killed Life, one of the best programs on TV, to put Leno on nightly.

Maybe they can quietly resume normal programming.

Who is Jay Leno?

I vaguely recall he had a jet powered motorcycle years ago.

Perhaps they can replace Leno w/Global Scamming specials?

At least I could stand watching Leno at 11:30. Conan O’Brien and Letterman are unwatchable. NBC’s change has now changed my sleep pattern.

This guy made bazillions attacking government when the R’s were in charge. Now they’re in trouble and think they can’t go back to that well?

There’s a lot to make fun of, and a lot of people (about 1 in 5 now) that are unemployed and aren’t doing a whole lot right now. If I were him I’d help them laugh at their misery, because the malfeasance in office is bipartisan.

Leno kicked off his show with the usual left wing “jokes” - old and tired and out of date given we have a marxist in office. After seeing his ratings tank, he tried to move off the Bush Derangment Syndrome stuff, even including Rush in one of his shows, but it was too late and that skit was kind of lame.

There is so much Czar and bankster material to use for comedy and he has missed the boat. In his younger and more politically incorrect years, he would have never been so disconnected from the people in “flyover country.”
