Why don’t they just replace him with Chris Tingle. He’s a laughing stock.

Jimmy Tingle? Or Christingle?

Jimmy Tingle got a reputation as that left-wing comedian. Maybe it's true, but he's always been a Boston guy -- something people either love or hate on its own without politics getting in the way.

"Comedy people" (whoever they are) looked down on Leno for his "cornball" humor. But Jay is what he always was. And Carson, who all late night hosts claim to admire, was "cornball" for years and years.

I was always more disappointed by Letterman's descent from being a very edgy, innovative comedy pioneer on NBC to being equally cornball (and a lot creepier and more disturbing, as well as more pompous) on CBS.

Leno's just Leno , just who and what he's always been. What happened to the other guys when they moved into the earlier time slot, Letterman and O'Brien, is just sad.

On The Five, the very, very late night host Greg Gutfeld pointed out that the whole set-up was changing. People are now watching TV shows at any time -- or they will be very soon. So the idea of the mild 11:30 milquetoast and the wild 12:30 kook isn't going to be as strong in the future.
