Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
Lancoor
A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I'll always be sad I skipped out on my tickets during one of Jay Leno's last shows in LA in 2013. Jay headlined this show for over 20 years, and I grew up watching Jay crack good-natured jokes at every celebrity's and politician's expense. I miss seeing him every night, in a definite case of "you don't know how much you need it until it's gone."Jay's monologue was always the best part of the show, and the intermediate bit between the monologue and the guests was usually pretty great. "Headlines" was always a favorite of mine, as was Beyondo. Though the Jay-walking segments weren't my favorite, they managed to inspire me to become a better person and citizen. I usually skipped the necessary corporate/studio promotional material - aka guest interviews - because they didn't have enough of Jay. Still, Jay had great chemistry with everyone, and I never had to worry about an awkward interview.The show hit its peak with Ed Hall's self-deprecating humor and Kevin Eubanks heading the band while cracking up at Jay's unfiltered banter. They always had a touch of old-fashioned class mixed in with their dirty jokes and ridiculousness, and that's something Conan's more yuppie d*****baggery (I still like Conan) and Jimmy Fallon's new-age clearly- forced silliness (an astute viewer can tell Jimmy hates his job) can't quite pull off. One thing I absolutely hated: Ross. He's gone on to work with perennial nasty, wrinkled old bag Chelsea Handler, so I can see why I was never a fan.Jay was the consummate professional, loyal to his staff, and a really great guy. He made fun of everybody on an equal basis, and tried to stay away from the mean-spiritedness that can ruin an entire night for a viewer or the lampooned public figure. The Tonight Show with Jay Leno was great, and I miss the joy Jay brought to his work and into American homes.

I was watching your show 2/27. How dare you use Jesus Christ and Mary as a brunt of your jokes. You were right about one thing, the tomb is empty. I think that you are an egotistical individual. I hate your show because you never have anything worthwhile to say. I would rather see you taken off television because you do not know how to act. You will never get my vote MR. JAY Leno. Your show is a disgrace to the human race. I hope that your show is soon taken off the air and replaced with someone who has more sense than you will ever have. Your life is a joke. You think that is all life is, a joke because I have never seen you serious on your show. You think it a joke to run people down, even those who are in government, especially our president. I feel sorry for you because truly you are not a happy person because otherwise you would not talk about people like you do.

Jay Leno has kept TONIGHT afloat on NBC. Leno is still learning to try to imitate Carson, but has not reached it. Johnny Carson wanted David Letterman to replace him & even wrote jokes for Lettermans CBS monologues until his death recently. When Leno first took over, he seemed to have more energy but he recently has allowed himself to get into a rut which shows. All his monologues are just jammed packed with jokes & he fires them off. Only thing is Leno is not humble like Carson. I have noticed in recent viewings Leno is using a laugh track. It is very obvious the laughs are canned to enhance the audience participation (or lack of it) when the joke is a dud. When Carson fired off a dud, he could sense it & make a self-effacing joke about the material or himself. When Leno fires off a dud (which seems to be more & more often recently), it just sits there. When he fires off a bunch, things get pretty mean. Leno does have two big drawbacks Carson did not have. (1) Carson used to get 90 minutes to fill & had to develop a wealth of materials plus have longer interviews with guest stars which made him a better interviewer. Leno has not gotten this opportunity. (2) Leno has a competitor in Letterman & because of this, TONIGHT is no longer the number 1 show it once was. These 2 problems are not Leno's fault, just facts. All this said, Leno is OK doing Stand-Up & holding his own but the show Conan Obrien is taking over is not the dominate show Carson had. Leno has made it his own- but he is not quite up to the standard once set by the master- Carson never needed a laugh track & Letterman has shaken TONIGHT's foundation thoroughly.Leno's last Tonight ending was especially correct. He ended with all the children that he and his staff had in 17 years. The last scene with Leno & all the kids is a great reminder that Leno is the kid who took over for the master, Johnny Carson. He never considered himself to be as great as Carson, but he is his own man. Let's see how 10 PM treats him in the fall.

No doubt the absolutely worst show on television. I can't believe this Moe has been in the employ of NBC for this long. How many tired, sad jokes can Jay tell before the network finally gets the picture.....he's not funny, and they are paying him way too much money for his mediocrity. One word describes the Tonight Show experience, droll. Another thing, as one of the other critics on this site already said, we get it, you have a lot of expensive cars, enough already. Please Jay, for the sake of humanity, quit the show so we don't have to listen to your nonsensical ranting, or look at those stupid expressions anymore. A test pattern or static would be preferable to his pathetic performance.
