[jenk]

0.6 according to drudge

1. its time he woke up

that his main audience was probably liberals - can't see a bunch of holy rollers watching him.

2. Not to puff up Dennis Miller

but thats actually pretty good for cable news type show and especially the obscure CNBC. He beat Chris Matthews.

4. For one thing...

His verbose language is going to be lost on all of the moronic neocons. I never liked him before, but he sickens me more than ever now. I guess he really is just a pseudo-intellectual. He actually supports the Bushmonkey and says it w/a straight face! Speaking of supporting Bush, how on earth could McCain (sp?) actually campaign for him. I lost a lot of respect for him on that move. I know he's a repub, but he seems more like a 3rd party type.

3. It was horrid

I checked out a few bits and pieces and his jokes elicited ZERO laughs. He looked nervous and seemed to stammer when his bits went over like a lead balloon. What a bitter, hateful, dimwited, unfunny man. I hope the show doesn't last much longer. He deserves obscurity.

5. He doesn't have a live audience

Its just him and the crew. Hence the "no laughs" you're talking about.

6. Hopefully this will add to his list of failures.

Hopefully supporting the chimp will be added to his list too.

7. I sure hope he does good enough he doesn't have to

return to Monday Night Football!

8. I changed the channel the second I saw his ugly face

it was like an instinctive reaction.

9. that's called an "autoclick" . . . it happens whenever you run across . .

someone on the screen you absolutely cannot watch . . . there's no thought involved, and no hesitation . . . my own list of autoclicks include Howard Stern, George Bush, most cable "news" commentators and, of course, Dennis Miller . . .

10. i used to like Miller - now i can't stand him

i change what ever he's on.

i have also successfully boycotted Leno.

[papau]

12. After 50 years, the Tonight show is avoided - GOP'er Leno is too GOP

Rather hateful actually.

11. Not as bad as Howard Stern...

...but bad enough that I have vowed to myself never to watch anything he ever does, for the rest of my life. I guess that does put him in the same category as Howard Stern who I have not listened to since he dedicated his existance to worshipping George Bush's illegal war.
