Not to mention kissing Ahhhnuld's, McCAIN's, and other-such's asses.

11. Indeed. I think a lot of people knew this show was going to flop.
Unfortunately for NBC, most of these people aren't network executives.

4. Huh? Leno never kisses Ahh-nuld's ass!
He's a Dem state senator from SF, for Pete's sake!

Oh, wait. You mean there's someone else named Leno besides Mark? "I did not know that". :P

7. Watched it the first nite...
...then about 5 min. on the second. I did see Michael Moore sing, tho'... liked that! It comes on at 9 o'clock in Chicago... kinda early for 'late nite tv'... maybe if I was 7... ;-)

10. Leno IS a washed up, no-talent comedian.
I never found him funny in the slightest.

Nice to know his pitiful show is dragging down NBC.

13. I watched it last night (Cusack) and Caliendo flat out went blank at one point
Caliendo might not be a great stand up but he is an incredible impersonator IMHO

Leno came on to the stage just after Caliendo finally got it together enough to be considered finished with his set

14. Yeah; I'd hardly call Caliendo a no-talent...
...but when Madden retires or passes, Caliendo may be as deeply affected as Madden was when Favre hit the bricks.

Caliendo's material isn't the greatest, but he is a phenomenal impressionist.

16. I understand that.
I really loved the trivialization; Caliendo expertly pointed out the emperor's lack of clothing--but there is a danger in not taking the Bush/Cheney crimes seriously enough.

17. Leno's guests are very balanced. Don't forget he's had Michael Moore, and some msnbc personalities.

18. Ahnuld's on next week.
:hide:

Jenna and Larva Bu$h, too.

Yes he has some nice lefties on but the show and it's format are dull. But it is nice to know Tina Fey and John Cusack are rooting for the Phillies.
