could leno be any less original?

So, rather than watching out of interest, we tuned into Jay's "new" show to see how far it could be criticized.  Safe to say it was easy to see that he didn't try very hard at all to bother with putting any thought and effort into doing an original show with original bits and, gee, try and be funny. 

He used the Cheaters host to do a weird bit about Kevin cheating on him with a Jay lookalike.  Such ego that he couldn't even tear away from the idea that Kevin might want to find someone different from Jay?  Whatever. 

I don't even remember much else, other than his set involves not having a table to sit behind while interviewing guest, and yet, he has one to do his "Headlines" bit.

In all of this, I feel worse off for my poor Conan who really got the shaft through this all.  If they wanted to keep Leno that happy, they might as well have kept in on the Tonight Show and given Conan either a buttload of cash or some other venue he could flex his comedic muscles.

NBC could keep the old folks who have Nielsen boxes and love watching the unfunny Chin and let us young(er) folks embrace our Conan.  (Yes, the show could be better, but it's early yet and he still has to find a foothold that works for the Tonight Show, but I ain't giving up on him.)

But, seriously, Leno's show should be called Tonight Show 2.0 since there is nothing different beyond the stage/set. 

The Chin is so annoying.  The only good thing he ever did was getting to talk with James May (Top Gear).  If I ever had to interact with the man, at least I could ask him what it was like talking to May.
