You nailed it on their dumb pictures that they take. They look like fucking premenstral teenagers at a sleepover. I'm just waiting for them to do a pyramid. Fucking girls

I think the worst part about Cluck in the AM with the Opster is his udder lack of a planned show. He has neither the brains nor the comedic talent to improvise ( and he fucking knows it by now, he's been doing this since he was 18 ).

But let's accept for the moment that I'm wrong and he does plan his shows ahead of time ( topics, bits, questions for guests etc ). This utter amateur production is the fruits of his labors. Either way it's embarrassing. I would say he should go in October but the truth is he's no worse than the majority of his hack contemporaries out there, we just hate his guts because he was covered in gold dusted shit for a decade before it all got shat out of his fat ass.

How's the diet?

Opie does not lack udders.

I would put the average morning zoo ahead of Opie because I've seen them have a basic grasp of timing and they at least stay up to date with what's going on in the world

Underrated post tbh.

too long (not reading) - I want to listen to leno though.

we dont give a fuck

Wow salty, and rude, just wanted to participate.

Im sensing a lot of negativity in this post

Leno is good at this. Same reason why he got The Tonight Show over Letterman. He was willing to go out and kiss ass with the affiliates. He's extremely likeable in this role, but I think he stinks as a comedian.

Yeah, I was impressed with Leno. He can hold his own. There is a reason why people like Leno, Letterman and Conan had their own talk shows and Jim, Opie and Ant had a radio show.

Completely different skill level. They're not even on the same playing field.

If you haven't already, I would check out The Late Shift and its sequel by Bill Carter. Late night is truly fascinating stuff.

They had Jay Leno, a man that's been in show business most of his life & Opie takes calls for the last 15 minutes of the show. Are they that fucking bad they cant just sit and talk with him? Jimmy was quiet most of the end of the show. The Jimmy & friends show the day before he talked about how much he hated going to calls, must of pissed him off he did it with Jay there.

must of

This is really driving me crazy with you people. It's like every day.

Get over it faggot. You can deal with Sue Lightning dick and photoshopped Stengel gay sex, but you can't deal with minor grammar errors?

I don't "deal" with Sue Lightning's dick, I masturbate furiously to the thought of sucking it.

it isn't minor, it interferes with meaning.

Get over it. Stop being such a bitch.

fair enough sir.

Personally i like Leno over Letterman, Leno had the same quality of show for the entire time he was on NBC, Letterman apprently fissled out somewhere, because outside of the top ten bit, Letterman sucked the last 10 years.

Most young people might not like him for taking Conan's place, but Conan is the one with the stupid fucking agent who couldn't get a strong enough contract. Also Conan to this day had the shittiest ratings on the tonight show, Fallon beat him immediately.

Conan's been a hack for the last 5 years too, he sucks. he manages to only make one funny bit a month at best. they clearly pay Conan too much, no one watches his show, they should just have him online completely.

Plus i am into cars like Leno and he was extremely original back in the 1970s, i mean there is a reason he was hired. People might not like him for selling out, but he earned an amazing living, and he isn't some rapist like letterman. Plus the people that might whine about selling out are probably not saying shit about schumer

Letterman changed everything. People didn't say things like "Who would watch this crappy show?" before Letterman did it. He did strange and creative shit like allow Chris Elliot to totally derail his show. Letterman was the perfect mix of a great sense of humor, and the awareness that it was just a stupid talk show. Colbert is failing miserably trying to fill his shoes. I'm totally indifferent in regards to Leno. Havent watched him enough to give a specific criticism, just never found him particularly funny.

when was the last time Letterman did that strange creative shit, the 90s? the last time Letterman was cool nirvana was still a band

The fact that you prefer Leno over Letterman, says everything I need to know. Jay Leno is the opposite of what I would call "cool". He did dad humor, for boring dads. Booooooo

nailed it cakehorn

and he isn't some rapist like letterman

Well, nobody's perfect!

Letterman early years still trumps all of them. I like Leno, but he was lame and safe on the Tonight Show.

He was on late-night network television - what did you want from him? GG Allen level antics? Even still, he puts Jim Norton on his show, and that was not playing it, "safe." He consistently destroyed his competition, and was so dominant that he took TNS back to number one after that seven-foot ginger faggot destroyed NBC's golden goose. He is, by all measures, the best at what he did.

Anyone Howard Stern and David Letterman hate couldn't have been all that bad.

You're acting like him putting Norton on the show was some crazy situation. Norton needed Leno more than Leno needed Norton. There was no way it would backfire. Also the shows are taped. Norton couldnt mess his gig up if he wanted to.

there's a pretty big gulf between gg allin and whatever jay leno was doing silly.

Agree about Conan. His "oh geeze I'm on tv winging it again!!! What an incompetent nervous nelly I am!!" bit is worn the fuck out.

His constant fake laughing is also just as obvious and bad as Fallons.

Watch the documentary "Conan O'Brien can't stop" to see his true self. Bitchy, demanding, hostile and narcissistic.

Also, Andy Richter is the Opie of late night. Brings everything to an unfunny screeching halt everytime he speaks.

Just watched the first 15 minutes. douche hypothermia

LOL SO RANDUM XD

Super edgy

You're a complete faggot

lol

Haha that's funny

I reported you for calling me a faggot

Good luck. The mods of this sub will probably call you much worse.

Thats hilarous, now get back inside your mom is calling

I'll have to listen to this.

I love hearing Opie get exposed and...holy shit, it's that word, "cuckolded", by broadcasters like Jay, with actual skill that they worked on, instead of putting up numbersss, crafting tweets, or selling t-shirts that are ironic/not ironic at the same time somehow.

I loathe this man, and seeing his career slide is the only enjoyment I will get from the tattered remnants of a radio show he rarely contributed to.

Leno was great, everyone else stunk. Except Gaffigan, who also was good on TACS Tuesday.

Do you think every time before the camera shutter clicks the Opster's like 'ok guys, huddle in, arms around each other, big smiles'

I'm surprised Leno leaves his garage anymore.

Especially Leno, who always acts like he doesnt give a fuck anymore and does whatever he wants. Why the fuck would he be doing a 5 day press tour for a show on CNBC? He has 800 mil in the bank. He must just hate his wife.

K.

Leno can see straight through the zero show prep or thought put into the program.

Not many broadcasters can get away with that. Larry King was famous for it but he was well-read, curious and a very good listener. You know, everything Opie is not.

This was most evident right after the O&A split when Larry was on and didn't know Ant was gone before he came in. Within 2 minutes it turned into King interviewing Opie about the split and getting very insightful answers from him.

Most people in some form of show business who have the slightest bit of self-respect tend to be embarrassed being in a room with Opie and Jim.

i love this shit

Leno replying to the effect that being a jackass implies that you're smart but did something dumb,

No it doesn't. Where does the assumption of 'were smart' come from the word jackass?

It doesn't, but fuck Vic anyway.

Leno fucking stinks

Most comics respect him and say he was a God back when he did letterman before he became nbcs bitch

Most comics are wrong.

They sure have some high opinions, but we're just civilians what do we know :/.

That's like me being in a band and saying no one in the audience has any idea what good is and they have no room to talk about music, it's ridiculous

preach

Fifty million screaming fans are fucking morons.

Well for example I agree, Leno sucked the tonight show sucked. Fallon fucking sucks, but that's what people want

MSI? They didn't know you have to stand in line to suck a cock.

Exactly, this sub shits on everyone yet ppl on here are giving Leno a pass!! Fuck that, if I had to guess its because Leno leans politically to the right so the retards on here forgive the horrid comedy because his politics coincide with their own.

People here are praising him cuz he shit on Vic and called Opie on his stupidity. That's it. I doubt anyone knows his politcal affiliations, I sure as hell didn't.

Fair enough

That makes everything all better. Justify your poor argument with a sweeping statement about politics (which haven't been brought up at all).

I was just speculating on the reason Leno was getting positive feedback on this sub, the sub that attacks almost every comedian aside from a select few, judging by Leno's humor I figured he'd be viciously attacked so I was surprised. I have nothing against Leno as person seems like a nice guy but he's not funny in my opinion.

Fair enough

there's a pretty big gulf between gg allin and whatever jay leno was doing silly.

Get over it. Stop being such a bitch.
