I saw it. Got that same "Tonight Show" feel, just earlier. I was a bit surprised that the "Headlines" was on at the end of the show though. And most of them were pretty lame. I did like the singing car wash bit.

That was funny. Even Kevin Eubanks and the band is back. Jay must own the rights or something for some of those ideas to be able to still use them.

I always liked the Jay Walking ones.

Dropped in for a bit of Seinfeld and the K. West apology. Once the hip hop music started, I had to change the channel. Football was on anyway. Maybe tonight I'll watch more; I'm a big fan of Jay.

I saw it and I am glad he is back on the air but, I didn't think the stuff he did was that good. But I know he can be funny and I know he has good material so maybe in the future shows it will be better. I hope jaywalking is back though.

Saw a bit of it with Seinfeld, the wife watched a bit more. My impression was 'yea, I can watch this sometimes...'

Contrast this with my impression of Conan: 'Hhhm, how long can I watch this?'......

Conan isn't as funny as he used to be. I think it is because he is on at an earlier time so the stuff he does just isn't as funny and as crazy as it was before.

Huge fan... read his auto article every month in PM -

but didn't like MOST of it.... maybe he'll improve the format...

Kenya was a joke ! fake crying, etc...
can't talk but can go "sing" his junk....


Wife and I talked about the 'legalities' of the bits and wondered if he owned the rights
or took his writers as welll....

Bet Conan brought his whole team and so Jay could take his.... Same network, so probably ok...

I watched it, mostly for the "curiousity factor" than anything else. I never was a fan of his while he was on the Tonight Show, really. I agree with the thinking that some of the things he does are pretty funny, and hope that there's more of it, like "Jay-walking" and "Headlines". Not real sure I'll be watching it five nights a week, though.

Don't really watch Leno....or any of them for that matter, but I got sent the clip of Kanye West giving his fake appology. It was as pathetic as I thought it would be.....the appology I mean, not the show.

I saw parts of the first show, didnt see tonights show (Sons of Anarchy is on) It was a little slow for me, but then it is a "new" show.
I think he owned several of his bits, but also at the end with the credits I noticed Big Dog Productions. Dont know if that was on the tonight show or not.

I always liked Headlines but I hardly ever caught the Tonight Show.

Does he do Headlines every night or something?
