We used to be big Jay Leno fans. Tonight Show regulars.
When Jimmy Fallon took over earlier this year, we were concerned. Jimmy was funny, but could he fill the large shoes that came before him – at least in our humble opinions? Rumors had it that Jay had been forced out (really twice) and that his appeal to large audiences was fading but not in my house.
So, here is the twist (did you see this coming?). We are now HUGE Jimmy Fallon fans. He is a different kind of host but new and fresh and well, funny.
This week the unthinkable happened – Jay Leno was a guest on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show. It was hugely awkward. Starting from a less than funny monologue and ending with Jay trying to interview Jimmy’s guest (Lucy Liu). Not a pretty sight. The two were respectful to each other but they both looked nervous.
