The next to last Tonight Show with Jay Leno for his first run (1992-2009). Recorded on VHS (EP Mode) and upscaled to 480p. From Thursday, May 28, 2009.
So much nostalgia! My dad and I watched Leno every night. I have great memories of the laughs we shared back then. A million times better than the late night “comedians” on now.
The jihad skit probably wouldn't make the cut nowadays. Or at least, it wouldn't have during the mid-2010s amidst that anti-Islamophobia phase we were in.
"cheering"? No one was cheering - people were laughing. So, to answer who may have been laughing - people who follow news consistently and who understand the concept of comedy.
More like carson, a sold 6 to 8 minutes! Not the letterman, 3 minutes of jokes,someone else wrote! ( like Jerry, without writers, hes not funny!) the rest, is him laughing at nothing, talking to paul and tapping his Carson pencils! Also,or something Steve Allen did 30+ years before! Dave is a better interviewer, if he likes the person! And like one of your friends, (dave)who, on the spot, is quick witted, thats all dave is. Jay is a Observational comedian! In our time, as stand up, only Rodney was better Who wrote most of their own stuff. Today late niters need a trump! Or A Leg, to flirt with! Or a male ellen! ( soap opera brains) Good thing Jay owned NBC😮.
