Not as many as think he's funny- considering the fact that he is consistently the top late-night performer.

1: Leno supports Obama. No secret. This is not a news/political show- thus, he doesn't have to be "fair." 2: I'm not an Obama supporter, so don't take this wrong, but Obama missteps much less often than Hillary. Translation: Hillary makes it easier to target her,,, Obviously, he is not 'required by law' to be fair. However, if a comedy show is consistently blasting one candidate, while handling the other with kid gloves, then they run the risk of alienating nearly half of their audience. I have not stopped watching Jay as a result of this, but I definately watch a little less lately. This is also one reason that I prefer Conan over the others right now. He doesn't seem to have a political agenda like Jay is developing on his show, and Dave Letterman has shown for a long time. I don't remember Jay Leno being this way in the past. It just seems to have happened more during this presidential campaign...but I could be wrong. But one thing I'm not wrong about, is that the Obama jokes are more 'friendly' kind of jokes and fewer, while Hillary and McCain get more vicious jokes and a much higher number of them. |

Yes, Jay is No. 1 in the most popular late night time slot -- however, all that means is that he's funnier than Letterman (ONE PERSON!), and who isn't funnier than Letterman? Yes, Jay IS funnier than Letterman -- a little, not a whole lot .... just enough to be No. 1. There's no way to know how well Jay would do against other late night hosts because he's not on at the same time. |

I wasn't discussing head-to-head numbers.
I was talking across the board. He consistently has more performers than Kimmel (not hard), Ferguson, Conan... -------------------- Fractures: Rated M ![]() Play Heroes: Survival now//Check profile for other links |

I still say he's a sexist pig. He won't really go after Obama because he's afraid of being called a racist as well. Everyone knows that's a big no-no. But if you want to be sexist, that's o.k. Hey, I feel the same way about Bill Mahar. And he was so promising with his current show. At least until he opened his sexist, whinny mouth. Hillary is the pig. Sexism would just be a plus. -------------------- Winners make the rules and losers live by them.

Even David Letterman is not as sexist and misogynist and anti-Hillary. jay's wife mavis gave him some credibility before, with his sexist rantings. But now that he is so venomously biased - and clearly going beyond sexism to misogyny - against Hillary, while giving a pass to Obama, I can't wait for Conan (whom I think is infantile and insipid by the way) to replace him.
Shame on you Jay Leno. I hope 1)Mavis leaves you, and 2)that you are reduced to going back to playing at the strip clubs on Rte. 1 in Saugus so I can go there and heckle you. Are you so afraid of having a woman as our president? Sexism trumps racism apparently. People like you contribute to the sexist world we live in. If you said racist jokes about Obama as vile as the sexist jokes you do about Hillary, you would be run out of town. Shame on you Jay Leno. I hope your Scottish Irish mother disowns your woman-hating ass. |

The reason hes made so many jokes about Hillary is because the Media controls everyones thoughts... So Jay has made mean jokes towards Hillary to get Obama to win the Democratic race.
