Tonight will certainly be a banner night for middle America. It will be a night to remember for blue haired old ladies who like their comedy the same way they like their food: soft, bland, and easy to swallow. In fact it will be a night to rejoice for anyone with a television and poor taste.
That's right folks, tonight marks the return of everyone's favorite comedic dullard, Jay Leno to The Tonight Show. In their sheer brilliance, the executives at NBC have replaced Conan O'Brien, whose original humor couldn't quite catch on with Jay's dying (literally) demographic, with their old standby. Rejoice America! We have our Jay back! The question is, who wants him?
Truth be told I'm somewhat of a bandwagoner when it comes to hating Leno. I never found him particularly funny when I would occasionally watch him lead into Conan in the old days (And by old days, I mean a year ago). But every once in awhile I'd crack a smile, and I certainly preferred him to the vastly overrated David Letterman.
What tipped the scales was when I tuned into his utterly ridiculous 10pm show. On the surface, it was more or less the same show that he did at 11:30. I was left wondering: Did he completely lose all traces of his comedic edge, or was I just starting to realize how painfully unfunny he truly was? I think I'd have to choose the latter. Couple that with his history of fucking over other hosts, and I am now a card-carrying member of the "Leno Sucks" fan club.
So I won't be watching Mr. Leno when he makes his less than triumphant return to the chair formerly held by actual comedians with comic timing and improvisational skills like Allen, Paar, Carson, and O'Brien. I understand he'll have Sarah Palin on the second night. Perhaps I'll tune in for that show and that show only. A conversation between those two dimwits might be the funniest the show gets.
