FYP

Who remembers those wonderful shows with Chevy and Magic???

[Yes, even Kimmel is better than Leno]

Edit: For all of you young folk, when I say Carson I am talking about Johnny not Daly (or whatever his name is).

(Philbin not in same genre I know, but has there ever been a bigger no talent hack?)

Regis is excellent for what he does and the market he appeals to. He's great at live TV and really connects with his audience. I'm not personally the biggest fan - but you've gotta admit the guy is damn good at what he does.

I pass Leno almost every day on the way to work. He's easy to spot as he is always driving a different classic car. It gives me something to look forward to on my morning commute, so I like him. That said, I don't care for the show.

used to watch it a few years ago quite a bit. kinda like him/the show, but since then I've stopped watching television, and hence, stopped watching leno. Not sure if I'd like the show today, but I think so?

I think people from Los Angeles make a point to watch him over Letterman in some sort of show of hometown pride. I think that is dumb.

I watch Jay Leno whenever I am home. Great comedian and seems like a super nice guy even though he is a demo/bush hater. Also saw him in Sept. at the Mirage and his stand up was fantastic. He did not use a single four letter word btw and after the show he walked right through the corridor outside the theater to shake some hands and take a picture or two with some old people.

edit - I am 21, obv love Conan also

I wish I could combine Leno's monologue with Conan's interviewing... Conan has the worst opening bit out of any of them.

I also like Jimmy Kimmel.

he seems like a very good guy but he is not funny and his show is awful.

Does this normally preclude people from being nice?

I think Jay Leno is a horrible comedian, however that's not what makes a great Host. Being easy to talk to, extracting good responses from guests and being able to ride the median of comedy (don't necessarily make people laugh, but keep them smiling).

Conan O'Brien is pretty much the exception to the rule, but i'm glad he's soon to be taking over.
