what you want about leno,but when he did those free shows back east for the benefit of the jobless auto workers he proved too me one thing;"JAY,YOU THA'MAN".

I believe Jay Leno is basically good-hearted, but his act went downhill when he tried to compete with David Letterman's ratings during a time when Letterman's viewership was up for awhile.

Unfortunately Leno tried to copy Letterman's boring shock-jock idiocy, and perhaps he was rewarded for it with higher ratings, but that's when I stopped watching Leno.

Now Leno is probably too jaded to go back to healthier, wittier, more universal humor.

Leno isn't raunchy, he's just not funny.

Really, you're going after Jay Leno? Yes, you're right, there has never been raunchy stuff in primetime on NBC and KSL before 10:35pm. Nope, nothing.

Leno "raunch"?? | 9:49 a.m. May 29, 2009

are you serious? what do you want - the muppets?

Jay Leno is one of the cleanest comedians around.

wow - talk about your uptight mormons. Y'all are in a class of your own. maybe you should just ban all channels in the state of utah except the mormon channels ...

I'd hate to see the look on your virgin eyes if you saw a really raunchy comedian.

i'm speechless. you people are the biggest prudes on the planet. good luck with that.
