Here. Now Stop Asking Me what I Think about the Late Night Situation.



As a comedian, everyone wants to know what you think about “Late Night”.  Not just stand-ups, improvisers, sketch writers, humorists, anyone involved with comedy at all seems to be asked their opinion on this. I think everyone has heard it all. Jay’s an unfunny douche, Letterman is grumpy, poor Conan, blah blah THPPPT! The truth is that a lot of what happens on weekly late night TV is unfunny, mass produced hacky bullshit that is made to entertain the same people who consider The Olive Garden fine dining and don't want healthcare reform because "I don't want to move this country too fast."  Having said that, there are some people coming out of this clusterfuck I like. Such as:

The Winners-
David Letterman- Talk about really backing into the championship. Since 1996 Letterman came in second to Jay’s steaming unfunny pile of junketainment even though it was almost universally regarded as the better show.
To be honest, the only difference between the shows is that Dave hates TV execs and boring guests and doesn't hesitate to blast them, where as Jay will continue to suck the dick of any NBC higher up as well as any low level reality star on his show.  So naturally as Jay comes off more and more like a conniving backstabber, Dave (Who was blackmailed for fucking his interns just 2 months ago) gets to enjoy the biggest share of the audience since moving to CBS. Justice.

Jimmy Kimmel- Much like rappers who have to make a name for themselves by going after the guy with the record sales, Kimmel not only kicked Jay Leno while he was down, he twisted his arm behind his back in front of the cheerleaders while making him sing "I'm  a pretty princess".  Jimmy just got himself a whole new batch of fans who were looking for a Late Night host with at least one testicle. This 10 at 10 segment on Leno's show is pretty god damn funny.



Howard Stern- Stern wins anytime a huge fight brews in the entertainment industry. No one does it better.  In this day and age he's about the only guy who cuts through the bullshit to give you the best angle on a story


Losers-

Jay Leno- My god, this guy couldn’t look like any more of a douchebag. He must think that no one knows how to use Google because when he says he didn't want to leave, he must have forgotten that he did this on TELEVISION:




Then he gives this version ALSO ON TELEVISION


And that whole "I didn't know what was up" thing is totally bullshit. Leno has no manager so if he was in the dark, it was of his own choosing.
That's all I got
