Letterman vs. Leno

[gristy]

Leno was just unfunny tonight. Yuk. :thumbsdown:
Letterman was a scream :thumbsup:

Letterman's man Biff Henderson was interviewed at the RNC. Very funny. Wish I could remember the jokes for you. :(

1. What did Leno say?

[gristy]

3. A dumbass comment about Kerry's windsurfing - something to

do with going whichever way the wind is blowing. Spoutin' memes. He also covered the FF meme.

2. When is Leno ever funny?

It is all too forced. He sucks.

[Awsi Dooger]

6. Forced and mean spirited

Completely unlike Carson and Letterman

9. he has turned cruel and mean spirited....

everytime he has the jay walkers on I cringe because he is making fun of them and they do not realize it...and that is sad.....and Ross the Intern...he really is cruel and mean spirited to him too.

I can't watch letterman because my small little TV antenna doesn't pick up channel 3

8. Lenno backstabbed Johnny freaking Carson, that tells you what he is.

Hey jay, the Jerk Store called, they're out of YOU!

10. I pretty much always prefer Letterman

I heard once (read it on here, I believe) that Jay Leno is a Democrat but that's hard to get from listening to his comedy routine. He always seems to hit the Dems harder than the 'pugs.

[Justitia]

12. I heard that here once too, but CNN said "he favors the incumbent"

They were discussing how the TV comedians can affect the race.

'Course, we all knew Leno favored the Repukes and he bowed and scraped for the Gropenator so fawningly it was disgusting.

He is very nasty and mean-spirited in his "jokes", not to mention, just NOT FUNNY.

Letterman rocks.

[VOX]

11. Letterman: Yes. Leno: No.

In a nutshell.

[Bat Boy]

13. Leno is the comedy anti christ.

He constantly overshoots the joke, explaining the punchline in the hope of ringing an extra laugh out of something that didn't merit a laugh in the first place.

I'm not allowed to be in the same room with Leno. I might not be able to control myself.

14. I used to work with the commercial networks and have figured something out

Letterman is becoming more liberal. With Leno, with his "support the troops" show and his on-air announcement about Arnold and his appearance at Arnold's inauguration, I can pretty much read the handwriting on the wall. Who is not being influenced?:shrug:

[enigmatic]

15. I despise Leno..

Bill Hicks was right about him..

[ghostsofgiants]

16. ...

Leno is pretty boring. I'm not a huge Letterman fan, but he's much better than Jay.

I'll take Conan or Jon Stewart any day.

[Bombtrack]

17. It's not even close

Letterman isn't amazing but he's good. Leno is lame as lame gets. It's so hilarious what a horrible mistake it was for both Stuttering John and the geniuses at the Leno production staff that ratings have just nosedived since they hired the stuttering idiot.

Kimmel I think is the best late night host.

[Dem2theMax]

18. Letterman period.

I only watch Leno on 'Headlines' night, during Lettermans' commercials. Biff was an absolute hoot tonight. I love his little films.
