A Quick Review

Admittedly I am a Letterman fan. He is truly the heir of all the late-night legacy. Jay Leno has always been secondary. The Tonight Show under Leno often seemed forced and lacking in fun- and an edge. So it was with low expectations that I turned to the new prime-time Leno show.

If this is the future of prime-time NBC, it's worse than I thought. Jay tries much too hard. He takes himself and his place much too seriously. His jokes are, on average, so-so.

In other words, the new show is nothing more than a recycled Tonight Show with Jay Leno- and that was never on the top of my TV list. Sorry Jay, Dave is still the King!
