The Jay Leno Show - 2/5

I can confidently say that I thought I would be giving the show only a 1, but it was better than I expected. Even though I will never be watching it again, I felt strongly that I wanted to make a brief comment on a historical television event.

I was glad Jerry Seinfeld gave Jay a hard time about the new show, it seems pretty ridiculous for people to have talked about Leno leaving... when he hasn't left anything at all. It seems like a prime-time version of the Tonight Show.

I am still in shock that NBC would set up three of the exact same style of show in a row. Apparently there are financial reasons why this works out though, I guess? Seinfeld had a few good jokes, but the majority of the show's humor fell flat. The moment with Kanye West was weird, because he didn't seem to have any straight reply to Leno's questioning. I'm still not sure if any of what he said was coherent. He seemed to bumble through an apology and whatever else he was saying.

I was surprised that the thing I enjoyed most on the show was the performance at the end. I guess I never realized that Rhianna is actually talented. I even liked her voice. The other two weren't bad either.
