I'd argue that Leno in the context of The Tonight Show is unfunny. He really was a great standup back in the 80s.
Like I said in my post, that's what all the comics have been saying, though I wasn't really watching standup at my age back then
...he very much geared his performance at the show's older audience...
That's what I was worried about with Conan, and it became somewhat true. All of a sudden all his jokes just seemed toothless and less irreverent/zany. Someone watered down my Conan, and I didn't like it! Plus, he had to leave the masturbating bear behind
[qoute]That said, and I know I'm a dork for saying this, I think the Headlines segment is hilarious.[/quote]
Though I'm sure you know that that segment could be done by anyone and had nothing to do with his humor.
