My dad is in his seventies and insists that none of the other hosts can deliver a joke like Jay Leno. I'll agree, but not in a complementary fashion.

*promote such an awesome little car
p.s. i think all jay leno garage car embeds are broken and need repair

I agree, Williams is a class act. There's a lot of pressure to just agree with the host, but he holds his ground and refuses to say anything bad about Jay. I can't stand Leno, but Letterman was just tacky here.

...and I am reminded again of how bad Jay Leno is as an interviewer.

Jesus. The sign at the end there is like, "yeah, it's me - Jay Leno. I bet you didn't think this could get any better! HNYERHERHER"

In my opinion it's far less offensive that he was "offensive" than it was that he used really lame, overdone, talkshow jokes. Charlie Sheen? I've heard that joke several times already on Jay Leno. It's DONE. I want humor from Gervais, not TMZ fodder. Try a little fucking harder.

If only you could perform or write something funny...then maybe we'd give a shit what you say about other really funny people.

I can and I have. I didn't realize Gervais was above criticism around here. He's one of my favorite performers, but that doesn't mean I need to be happy and fellate him when he tells a lame joke. When you grow up you'll realize that no one is perfect.


@Yogi - I don't agree that you need to be able to perform in order to criticize. That's absurd.

However, I think @pointykitty is missing the point that he is doing these quite brutal jokes right in the target's face instead of in front of a biased studio audience like Jay Leno. When Leno gets up on stage in front of these people, the jokes are about someone else, or at least toned down.

So no, it wasn't Gervais' best material, but the time and place he said the things he did is at least half the point. He's not making fun of the gorilla from behind the safety of a glass wall, he's there in the cage. That's balls. And a lot of people are conflating that with the word "funny".

I find it funny you say such things kinda the sentiments I thought earlier . Now I am smiling. Thanks be to Ricky Gervais.

Either I can't find it or don't remember what it was like. Oy!

wow... if you slow down the video at 2:06, you can see the stuntman quickly leaving, and being replaced by Jay Leno who then punches Conan through a window... that asshole.

Conan looks so weird without any beard now.
