White House Correspondents Dinner, anyone catch Jay Leno roasting anyone and everyone?

[Journeyman]

Right in front of the president, Jay took shots at everything imagineable...it seemed the crowd was taken back at some of his material...Leno didn`t hold back at all, I felt he went over the line in regard to Iraq and War jokes...

Anyone see this?

Journey,

Unfortunately, i did not. Is ther any kind of link?

Mud

 

[Journeyman]

Not that I know of...it was covered Live on MSNBC...I guess most probably missed it..

Even when they went back to the MSN News Anchors, they were kinda taken back by some of Leno`s material...HE WAS HAMMERING PEOPLE!

Alot of very delicate issues, he showed no mercy...

 

[Mr NJ Sports]

I find Leno to be very predictable and unfunny no matter who he is joking about.

 

[barman]

SEE THERE, NJS? Something we AGREE ON...heh

I also find Leno fairly unfunny...mainly because when I watch him, he exudes being the guy who has 95% or more of his material written for him.

Great comedians and political satirists write their own stuff. That's why Dennnis Miller, Bill Maher, George Carlin rule.

Also why shows like Maher's PI and now Colin Quinn's Tough Crowd are funny as shit because no one is handing the participants notecards.

 

[Mr NJ Sports]

Jimmy Kimmel is the funniest.
Tough Crowd is great. Greg Giraldo ,Patrice O'neal and Nick DiPaulo.

I actually do not care for Bill Maher.

I think Leno just told his 9,956th Dick Cheney heart ailment joke.

 

[Journeyman]

He did take another shot at Dick Cheney`s health issues at the dinner banquet

 

[Mr NJ Sports]

Why are heart ailment jokes not off limits? If the guy had cancer would that be funny? There are plenty of people I do not like but you should not joke about that stuff.

and coming from LENO, ONE OF THE FUNNIER LOOKING MEN ON THE PLANET
