Big Boi Performs "Shutterbugg" On Jay Leno
Big Boi went on Jay Leno last night to perform "Shutterbugg" from the dynamite new Sir Luscious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty album. Leno was smiling when he introduced him, but he's going to be pissed when NBC gives Big Boi his job.
Jay Leno Pronounces Nas' Name Right
Credit Jay Leno for making the effort (and you can tell it was some effort) to pronounce Nas' name correctly (so that it would rhyme with the British way of saying "vase" as opposed to the American pronunciation of "has," which is the common mistake.) Also, the Queens rapper and his collaborator, Bob Marley's son, Damian (whose hair must be incredibly heavy when it's wet), sounded good performing their bouncy reggae rap single "As We Enter" with a seven-piece band on The Tonight Show last night.
Sade Sings "Babyfather" On The Tonight Show
Sade sang on Jay Leno's show last night-with her 13-year-old daughter Ila, singing back-up and looking fly in a pair of fresh suspenders!
Leno Show Less Palatable Than Whatever CSI You Taped Earlier
People would rather spend the 10 PM hour watching previously DVR'd recordings than watching Jay Leno. Other things people would prefer to watch to Jay Leno include empty fishbowls, leaky faucets, and the thermostat.
For Those Who Have Never Seen This Jay Leno Show
I have not seen this Jay Leno show that is on at 10 p.m. every night now and I most likely never will, because it's just an inconvenient time for me, and also, I have always despised him. It does not sound like something that will do anything for me. Today Nancy Franklin explains what it is all like, down to something called the "Ten @ Ten" segment: READ MORE
New Jay Leno Promo Contains Fred Armisen
This promo video for Jay Leno's new 10 PM talk show is apparently running in movie theaters nationwide. Now, we've all heard the knocks on Jay Leno: His comedy is trite and sanitized for an audience of doltish viewers who lack refinement and are easily offended. His affable, indistinctive persona is the scrubbed and focus-grouped face put forward by a man so desperate for success that he'll willingly erase any of the characteristics that ever made him at all interesting. His popularity is indicative of the cheap and insulting level of humor that the great mass of Americans considers entertainment, and his eagerness to pander to that risibly low standard is the mark of a man whose contempt for his audience is only surpassed by the contempt he must have for himself for performing such material. That said, Fred Armisen is in this thing, which means it's not terrible. At least until the last thirty seconds.
Jay Leno: GOOD RIDDANCE
There is no way that I watched Jay Leno's goodbye to "The Tonight Show," because I didn't watch his hello to it and then I skipped out on the next 17 years, so why start now at the end? Fortunately, Gabe Delahaye did the duties! "Leno's mark on entertainment is a grease-strained slide. Huge damp fingers gripping tightly at something that's inevitably being taken away from him. I've heard so many times that Jay Leno used to be one of the funniest and hardest working stand up comedians in the business that I feel like using Snopes to see if that's even true. Based on what? I've never seen the slightest hint of this being true, so maybe everyone can stop saying it now."
Jay Leno: A Look Back
This evening sees the conclusion of Jay Leno's seventeen year stint as host of "The Tonight Show." Here's a tribute from early on in the funnyman's role at the helm by the late Bill Hicks. Great run, Jay!
