Jay Leno can go fuck himself. Alright, I take that back...because not nearly as many people care as the media would have us think. I, for one, do care. Being a big fan of late night comedy for over 25 years, I've watched it all....started with Letterman, evolved to Letterman AND Carson (Johnny, not Daly) and eventually blossomed into a die-hard Conan fan. Sure, I watched Leno's early Tonight Show from time to time, never being particularly impressed. But from the get-go I just thought Conan was the quirkiest sonofabitch I'd ever seen and he made me laugh because I finally saw something on television that began to resemble my particular brand of personal humor. And hey - he just got better and better. Leno was just THERE...and Carson Daly's show, REALLY late at night, was just something. I'm not sure what.

The point is, we all know the ugly story of Leno vs Letterman. Utter bullshit. Leno plays the good guy so well...and now suddenly he can play the good guy even better because he DIDN'T fuck a bunch of women he works with. But the bottom line is that Leno agreed nearly 6 years ago to step away gracefully and allow Conan to ease into the Tonight Show chair...a progression that hasn't always been smooth, but this time it was going to be, goddammit. Yeah right. Well, nearly 6 weeks after Conan's final, and classy, episode...I'm still bitter. Bitter that this bumbling doofus with the chin the size of a fucking canned ham has once again been allowed to take over the Tonight Show...especially after taking the biggest shit ever upon prime time television with his 10pm show...and getting ratings worthy of a dead hamster rotting in its wheel.

So yeah. Jay Leno can go fuck himself. With feeling.
