This is one reason I don't watch The Jay Leno Show
The reason I don't particularly like The Jay Leno Show (besides the fact that he's taking up five hours a week on the NBC schedule) comes down to three words: "it's not funny."

It's definitely tough to watch. There's nothing really different than what he's done before, from what I've seen. But it seems as though what he *does* try and do different is very forced and drawn out.
The clincher for me was when I was watching one of the panels that they had with Megan McCain, Jim Norton, Stephen Baldwin, and Arianna Huff. And while some of it was funny (Baldwin and Norton), it was painfully obvious that Arianna's part was scripted and written for her, as well as plagiarized from Twitter comments by other celebrities.......since then, it's no more Leno for me.

i watched the first episode. Nothing spectacular, until the Kanye interview, where there was something like 8 seconds of dead air after Leno gave Kanye a fairly softball question ("What would your mother think?")

I really think his show is going to have slow and painful death, first they'll take away days from him until he's left with just Fridays and maybe some sort of weekend show.

Jay Leno was born within a few months of my own entrance into the City of New York which was about 5 years subsequent to the end of WWll. Both of us clearly remember the little I like Ike buttons and a quart of milk for 35cents. A few years ago when I retired from government, I started a small Internet writing service as a sole proprietor. There is nothing wrong with taking it slower and not trying to connect in an in your face manner with young folks who could be your grandchildren. I have this feeling that because Jay Leno besides all of his comedic accomplishments is a businessman as well, and that somewhere lurking in the bushes resides some big money deal that will arise later in some form at sometime, possibly at quitting time. Jay knows the score in the media business.
