Commercial king makes appearance at Obama press conference - VIDEO

by Bob Sassone, posted Mar 31st 2009 5:08PM

Jay LenoIsn't it funny how the best parts of Jay Leno's show are the parts that he has absolutely nothing to do with? Where the personalities of Letterman and Kimmel and O'Brien are all over their shows, shows that they make better by the stuff that they actually do and the way they react to things, the funny/great things on Leno's show are things like Headlines, stand-up comics, and the musical guests at the end of the show.

For example, the clip after the jump. It's a bit where Leno talks in his monologue about how President Obama is taking questions from just about anyone in his press conferences. This could be dangerous, though, because a very loud guy could suddenly jump up during the press conference and not only take over the whole event but also try to sell you various cleaning solutions, clothing repair kits, and portable grills.

The point of this post is to add some politics into TV!!! Squad. Seriously, I don't care if you guys don't approve this message or not. People are getting sick and tired of ANY kind of politics on here. I understand that sometimes you have to report it and it's fine if it's once in a while. Now it seems that you guys need to put some kind of political statements/messages every single day. Seriously. This is getting sad.

@Zachary and John.

I agree I don't understand the 1st paragraph of this post. What I do understand I don't agree with. I think Leno is a superior late night host to Letterman or Kimmel or Conan.

Obviously it's one man's opinion but as far as opening monologues are concerned I would rate is them in order of best: Leno, Kimmel, Conan, Letterman. And when it comes to actually interviewing guests Jay rates number one again. Again just one man's opinion

I can't disagree. I don't really care for any of them. I always watch Stewart and Colbert. When I do see one of the network shows, I never watch the interviews because I find the guests dreadfully uninteresting. Apart from that, I find the monologues and sketches tired, tame, and predictable.

That was funny.

As we can see, some still think making a joke involving Obama is a forbidden thing.

At least Leno isn't afraid to do jokes about Obama. There are plenty of things about Obama that are funny, and most of them have nothing to do with partisanship.

Don't know about Kimmel, but Letterman is still terrified of Obama jokes.

I don't get this post. It's true that the best parts of his show are the ones you named, but that's because they are not generated by the Tonight Show writers.
The clip here is an example of the other, more common kind: an unfunny failure presumably written by the Tonight Show staff.
