I used to enjoy watching late night television, but not anymore. Ever since Donald Trump got elected, the shows focus way too much attention on him. I watch comedy to get a break from reality, not to be bombarded by it again.
Today when Jay Leno was Today, they asked him if he misses doing the show in this political climate. He told them he does not. He hates that people have to know your politics now. He came from the Johnny Carson school on the issue which means we don’t know what side he is on. He enjoyed getting hate mail from both the Democrats and the Republicans.
Back when he was hosting The Tonight Show, “Clinton was horny and Bush was dumb.” Then he said that doing jokes about the current president is harder. He gave an example, “‘How’d you like your president with a porn star.’ Well, now the president is with a porn star. Where do you want me to go with that?”
Leno then said he would like to see more civility on late night TV. He is not the only one. To me, The Late Show is unwatchable. I want less political humor and more humor. We already have way too much Trump as it is in our lives, we don’t need anymore.
Gayle King sat down with R Kelly, and it as crazy as we think he is. The CBS This Morning host kept her cool, while he acted out every Shakespeare play for her. Talk about being over dramatic.
While I did not watch the interview because I don’t care what he has to say, this photo tells me all I need to know. If you want to see the interview, then click here!
The Today show asked Craig Melvin and Al Roker to shoot a Prostate Cancer PSA with the NJ Devils and they tried to be funny. It is more painful than the pain a hockey player feels when when he gets hit in the hockey stick with a puck. It was seriously so bad, men are going to go the urologist to get their prostates checked for some relief. Which I guess means the PSA worked in a round about way.
Before Bryan Cranston was making meth on Breaking Bad, he was nitrous oxide inhaling dentist on Seinfeld. How funny is the 38-year-old in that 1995 episode?
To hear him tell Good Morning America how that moment came about, then click here!
Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb bet on the outcome of the Philadelphia Eagles vs the New Orleans Saints, and Guthrie lost. That meant she had to go down to the NYC subway this morning dressed as a Saint, sing the When the Saints Go Marching In and hand out cookies to the passengers. She was less than thrilled to do it, but she had no choice.
The Today show anchor was not the only one who was not happy about it, so were most of the people who tried to give to treats to. NYers know better than to take sweets from strangers at the subway station. I don’t know about you, but I wished they showed all the rejects. That would have been more fun. Although, this was pretty good too.
