And for things "not fitting the Tonight Show brand" then why is Conan doing so many things not done under Leno? I agree he'll probably be a moderate success. Look at all the reality shows that pull in an audience week after week. Its not my cup of tea, but obviously I'm not the type the networks are chasing afterElenanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-5630208985816142962009-08-06T11:31:52.592-04:002009-08-06T11:31:52.592-04:00Easy and middlebrow Leno's jokes may be, but M...Easy and middlebrow Leno's jokes may be, but Middle America eats them up, and he works hard at that, rarely takes time off, and when he does take time off, spends chunks of it doing comedy in Vegas. <br /><br />I've thought for a while now that while the Leno show is likely to be critically lambasted, artistically dull as dishwater, and generally bland, it will nonetheless be a decent success, as there are very few "light" options at 10 PM. CBS has 4 nights of dour procedurals and Mentalist (the unintentional comedy of "CSI: Miami" doesn't count). ABC is a little better--"Castle" is fairly light, "Private Practice" can be light, and "Eastwick" will have at least some comic elements, I assume. Even so, the comedy demo is underserved at 10.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295270766215749309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-64958559371382606502009-08-06T10:44:42.089-04:002009-08-06T10:44:42.089-04:00He works his butt off to be mediocre?He works his butt off to be mediocre?deznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-45159920358314073152009-08-06T10:36:14.551-04:002009-08-06T10:36:14.551-04:00One cannot doubt -- especially after reading The L...One cannot doubt -- especially after reading The Late Shift -- that whatever his faults are in going for the easy and middlebrow jokes, that Jay Leno works his ass off at what he does.<br /><br />Also, that he's good at press conferences.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113168955236758821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-53755498647870581272009-08-06T05:01:23.820-04:002009-08-06T05:01:23.820-04:00I like Rachel Harris.
