Friday Night April 4

Leno

• Welcome to "The Tonight Show.” I’m Jay Leno’s double. Jay’s in his bunker, 60 feet below the Earth.

• I had something strange happen to me yesterday, I’m coming to work, I turn on the radio in the morning, the war is going badly, we weren’t in control, the enemy was escaping and the people of Iraq hated us. Then, I’m driving home, we’re winning every battle, racing toward Baghdad, cheered on by Iraqi people, and then I realized: On the way in I was listening to National Public Radio when I commuted to work. And on the way home, I was listening to Fox News.

• The bad news is it looks like Saddam Hussein is still alive. The good news: We still get to kill him.

• I thought this was nice – on the video today, Saddam Hussein thanked Peter Arnett for filling in for him. Very nice of him.

I wonder what are Leno's politics? He also always talks about "rich white Republicans" (wish I were one), and yet he also attacks the liberal media.

Leno feasts on one and all. He was absolutely brutal on Clinton after Monica. He slams anyone and everyone.

I suspect that he is a liberal Boston DemocRAT, who spends a lot of his time wondering why.

[Sir Gawain]

He's a liberal or left-leaning at least, but he's smart enough to hide it and appear unbiased, unlike most others in Hollywood.

[GulliverSwift]

I thought that was Conan O'Brien who was from Boston.

[asformeandformyhouse]

Leno feasts on one and all.

If only you couldn't see his punch lines coming a mile away.

I never said he was funny :-)

Just an equal opportunity offender.

[Boston Capitalist]

Leno is a firm leftist. Remember he intimated how great it would be if O'Reilly comitted suicied -- to his face. He wouldn't have done that, even as a joke, to a liberal. Look up his wife on the web. Total activist feminist leftist. Occasionally he throws out a figleaf to look moderate, but that is all it is.

One example. During the 2000 election, most of his Bush jokes had as the premise that he was a moron. Most of the Gore jokes had as the premise that he was a bit too nerdy. It sounded like he was making fun of both, but the message each time was that we had a choice between a moron and a smart superman who could use a little polish. Which would you vote for?

[Argh]

Im the mid-90's I heard him say on his show a couple of times that he's a Democrat. However, he's probably got too much sense to ram that down everyone's throat all the time and possibly alienate a decent-sized chunk of his audience.

[AgThorn]

Leno always seems pretty safe .. but he's got to "ride the fence" as it doesn't do him any good to be labeled liberal or conservative. I get the impression though that he leans right.

[Boston Capitalist]

In any case, at a time when 75% of the public is for the war, the Fox joke is a plus for Fox. Only in an isolated habitat such as LA would you think that was an insult.

[Princess G]

Here's one for Jay..Sadam has probably taken out Reverse Mortgages on all his Palaces!!!!

[sarasota]

I was listening to NPR in my car--the only station that would come in clear at the time. I had no idea what spin they attach to everything.

[Shermy]

I wonder what are Leno's politics?

The only matter he's gone public with (that I know of) was support of women in Afghanistan...long before 9/11. His wife was organizing/participating in a group addressing this.

[marshmallow]

Leno is often seen at Democrat fundraisers.

That's too bad. I can only stand so many high pitched liberal male voices.

[My2Cents]

[IYAS9YAS]

He is, however, a car nut...can't be all bad if he's a car nut...maybe we can get him to shift his politics.

[Paradox]

I have no problem with this joke, I think it is spot on. Fox news is as conservative as NPR is liberal. I have no problem with that. However the "Fair and Balanced" line is laughable, I mean, why even pretend? Fox leans to the right, and I _like_ it that way.
