I never really watched his show when it was on at 11:30. I watched a few episodes of his new show and thought this guys not funny. His jokes seem old.

So I asked an old guy (my dad-82years old) if he thought Jay was funny and he said the same thing. That the jokes seemed old fashioned.

I kind of get a "Bob Hope" feeling when I watch Jay.
 
Ya, he's appealing to a wider, older audience than Conan or Jimmy Fallon.

I like his Headlines skit. I also like his Jaywalking skit, and Battle of the JayWalk All-Stars.

Jaywalking is funny but also a little scary to realize how many really stupid people walk the streets.
 
never really liked him as a talk show host...okay as a stand up though. BUT that new show of his is almost painful. I wonder how long they keep him on there or before they restrcture the show somehow....it can't continue like it is.
 
Leno is funny most of the time. His opening monologue always has a few good bits. The JayWalking and Headlines segments are funny.

A lot of people don't find him funny because they're used to comics who have to childishly destroy others for their humour and can't be funny on their own, like Kenny vs Spenny, Steve-o, Sacha Baron Cohen, etc.

Don't like any of those guys either... Sacha is an idiot as far as I am concerned...

Funny was Johnny Carson, Bill Cosby, guys like that...

Just my nickels worth.

I think, if anything, humour is NOT timeless. Carson and Cosby were great in their day. But their humour does not stand up over time. The OP compared Leno to Hope, and I was thinking the same thing when I read his comments. Leno should retire, or sign a deal to do shows in Vegas for $50M.

I've never watched Fallon but I think Conan's humour is fresher than Leno or Letterman. Headlines, Jaywalking and Battle of Jaywalk Allstars are all good routines, but once you've seen them 10 times, I think he needs some new material.

I went to see Craig Ferguson at Massey Hall last year. Fantastic show. I couldn't stop laughing. For those who don't know him, he comes on after Letterman. Some of his jokes are good on his shows, but a lot of it is kind of annoying and tiring. But his stand up show was brilliant.
 
I really like Leno. I find him to be very funny as does the majority ... see Jay Leno Show ... which is why he is now on in prime time. People watch for a reason.

I find Letterman to be OK, not great. Again he has his following.



Carson was the best and is still King. I would watch re-runs of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
 
I went to see him live....in a tent ..yes...a tent...at River Cree casino in Edmonton and he gave a great show.His jokes have a bit more of an edge to them live BUT he does not need to drop the F-bomb every ten minutes to make people laugh..that to me is the sign of a good comedian.
 
Johnny Carson was funny. Everyone else really suck (and have been on the air way too long......massive debt in media is what's keeping them on and that has to stop fast).
Letterman has been fucking to stay on the air, in fact.

Gyaos Baltar.
 
Saw Leno live doing stand-up, he went for 2 hours straight, clean jokes, very funny. Don't watch his show, so I can't comment.

John Stewart on the Daily Show is the funniest of the late night guys, only half-hour, pseudo-news, but fucking hilarious!

In the 80s, he was great. I agree Stewart is the most entertaining. I like Kimmel though too. Letterman is horrible (once again, great in the 80s, but 30 years past his expiry date), and Conan has never done it for me.
