The Fruitcake Lady & Ross the Intern

Jay isn't even all that funny anymore, but if Ross and the Fruitcake Lady ever got their own show, I'd watch it religiously.

One is Headlines, (Monday nights only, or Tuesday in the event it doesn't happen on Monday) the other would be in the extremely rare event he actually had a guest I wanted to see. Anyhow, he's announced his retirement in a few years.

Yes, to be replaced by Conan. *shudder*

The only time I ever really see any of Leno's show is when I want to make sure that I catch the beginning of Conan OBrien's show.

Forget Leno. Watch Colbert.

He's got the truthiness.

I can't stand Conan.

I'm mostly all about Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert anyway. Jay used to be a lot, lot better.

Heh. I actually can't wait until he's replaced by Conan.

Mo Rocca came to a local university and was very funny.

Wait you don't watch letterman?


weirdo

I've never watched a single airing of Letterman. He isn't appealing. Plus he doesn't like Oprah.

I'm not really an Oprah fan either, but it just strikes me as odd.

As for Mo Rocca, he's hilarious. I remember him when he was a correspondant on the Daily Show and gave his mo-pinion every now and then.

At one time, Letterman was quite funny, but those days are long gone, I think. Or maybe I'm the one who changed; I'd have to see some recordings of his early shows and compare them to what he's doing now to know for sure.

Letterman's gone way too mainstream in the last decade or so. He used to be so exuberant and edgy and his show reflected that. Now it's just another Tonight Show.
 
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
 
Yeah, that's my take on it as well.

I don't often watch Leno anymore, since it has gotten to the point where he seems to feel obligated to tell at least one fat joke every night.

Of course, I kind of started getting fed up with him many years ago (actually the day the OJ verdict came in), when I saw him perform live at the county fair in Fresno. He started talking about the Jeffrey Dahmer case and made some kind of a joke about his mother, which I thought was pretty tasteless since it was well-known that at the time Jeffrey Dahmer's mother lived in Fresno and could conceivably have been at the fair.

Actually Letterman and Oprah have 'officially reconciled.' She even appeared on his show. But I do agree that he isnt appealing
