I don't know about you, but I haven't had a good laugh on late night TV in years.... It's BORING and BLAND!!!
Jay Leno seems like a nice guy, but his political humor rarely gave me a laugh. For the past 3 nights I've watched his replacement Conan O'Brien.. You know, the guy with the Woody Woodpecker hair cut... I see nothing funny or interesting about him what-so-ever. Just count how many times Conan uses the word "I" or "me" over the course of his show.
Both Leno and O'Brien seem to lack a certain element....and that element is class and innovation.
There's little funny or memorable about their guests either. Where's the spontaneity, interaction, surprises? Where's the FUN? More often than not the guest is someone who's there only to plug a movie.
When I think about it....no Tonight Show host can hold a candle to the master of late night Johnny Carson. Carson was class personified. He always gave us a good laugh and made TV viewing a pleasure.
Take a trip down memory lane with this viewing of "Carnac the Magnificent" as he uses his mystical powers to divine answers without ever seeing the questions... View by clicking here....
The comedy still stands up, even 30 years later.
NOW THAT'S HUMOR..... Are you taking notes Conan...or Letterman???
That's my opinion.....and I'm stickin' to it..
Thanks. Sincerely, David
