Billy Joel shakes off some dust and appears on the TONIGHT SHOW with Jimmy Fallon. And it made for pretty great music and good TV. I saw Billy Joel twice live.. They were shows to remember. My wife wasn’t a fan and grudgingly went to the Hershey PA show a few years ago. She instantly became … Read more

The changed politics of late-night ‘comedy’ TV–FOR THE WORST
How disappointing.. So basically, late night comedy shows have gone from lampooning politicians to a world where they will allow them to ‘soften their image’ and be even faker than they were before. Goodbye Carson…1980-1995 Letterman.. and all the others.. Hello Jimmy Fallon. Good luck being everyone’s friend.

If there is anything cool about Jimmy Fallon’s TONIGHT show it’s this..
…it is returning to New York City after 42 years. Now that is cool. Him as a host? Not sure about that.. time will tell. But glad it’s back in New York City…there ‘TONIGHT’ begins.
Billy Crystal will be the final Jay Leno TONIGHT guest.. Jimmy Fallon already announces his first TONIGHT SHOW guests: Will Smith and U2.. I think the show will be highly rated for a bit. I think that eventually people will move over to Jimmy Kimmel. I just don’t think Fallon has what it takes to engage … Read more
Letterman, CBS sign ‘Late Show’ deal through 2015
Got to say I’m a not surprised by this.. I think the show is stale now, I can’t even imagine what Letterman circa 2015 will be like.. But he really can’t go out on top. He hasn’t been on top since Hugh Grant was on top of a hooker and Leno got the first interview–and … Read moreLetterman, CBS sign ‘Late Show’ deal through 2015
Why no one should be surprised that Jay Leno asked President Obama “real” questions
A follow up to what I just posted before about Jay Leno.. he asked some pretty tough questions last night, as pointed out by the WASHINGTON POST (not owned by the AmazonMan).. Isn’t it sad… comedians are forced to do the work that journalists once did? Jay Leno is doing what the POST and the … Read moreWhy no one should be surprised that Jay Leno asked President Obama “real” questions

President Obama appeared on the TONIGHT SHOW with Jay Leno ..Some of the questions asked were hard hitting and not anything we have heard from ‘real’ journalists with cred asking Obama..

A theory from a friend on why NBC doesn’t care about Jay Leno’s ratings: They just don’t like him
I received an email last night from a good friend and fellow blogger CINEMA PYSCHO *(check his site out*) about my Jay Leno post.. and he’s right on the money.. Hollywood hates Leno and NBC does too. It goes back to bad blood in the early 1990s.. And he was right when he said Leno would screw … Read moreA theory from a friend on why NBC doesn’t care about Jay Leno’s ratings: They just don’t like him
The late night host who leaves at the top of his game.. why?

Jerry Seinfeld even did that when he stopped his program before the end of the 20th century.The world of late night television will soon see an exit of Jay Leno, who will leave the NBC’S TONIGHT SHOW.
