Jay Leno blasts late-night comedy hosts
Jay Leno is taking aim at modern late-night comedy shows, claiming the hosts are isolating half their viewers in an interview released just days after Stephen Colbert got the boot from CBS. The former Tonight Show host, 75, reflected on the shift in late-night culture during a sit-down interview with Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation president David Trulio. The candid conversation was taped two weeks ago but was recently shared and quickly circulated online. They spoke openly about comedy, politics, and what's changed in the late-night world. Trulio began by mentioning to Leno that his jokes had a reputation of being equally balanced in his time on air. 'I read that there was an analysis done of your work on "The Tonight Show" for the 22 years and that your jokes were roughly equally balanced between going after Republicans and taking aim at Democrats. Did you have a strategy?' Trulio asked. 'I got hate letters saying, "You and your Republican friends," and another saying, "I hope you and your Democratic buddies are happy" – over the same joke,' Leno said. 'That's how you get a whole audience. Now you have to be content with half the audience, because you have to give your opinion.' 'Rodney Dangerfield and I were friends,' continued Leno. 'I knew Rodney 40 years and I have no idea if he was a Democrat or Republican. We never discussed politics, we just discussed jokes.' 'I like to think that people come to a comedy show to get away from the pressures of life. I love political humor – don't get me wrong. But people wind up cozying too much to one side or the other.' 'Funny is funny,' Leno said. 'It's funny when someone who's not... when you make fun of their side and they laugh at it, you know, that's kind of what I do.' 'I just find getting out – I don't think anybody wants to hear a lecture,' he continued. 'When I was with Rodney, it was always in the economy of words – get to the joke as quickly as possible.' He criticized comedians who inject their political opinions into every monologue and said he preferred making the whole audience laugh rather than pushing an agenda. 'I don't think anybody wants to hear a lecture … Why shoot for just half an audience? Why not try to get the whole? I like to bring people into the big picture,' he said. 'I don't understand why you would alienate one particular group, you know, or just don't do it at all. I'm not saying you have to throw your support or whatever, but just do what's funny.' His comments come in the wake of Colbert's dramatic departure from The Late Show. A media frenzy engulfed The Late Show after Colbert publicly slammed the CBS show's parent corporation, Paramount Global, for settling a defamation lawsuit with Trump for $16 million, calling it a 'big, fat, bribe,' in his opening monologue. Just days after the searing call-out, Colbert told his studio audience that the network was ending The Late Show in May 2026. Speculation has loomed over why the show was canceled, with A-listers and fellow talk-show hosts coming to the comedian's defense. Colbert won an Emmy for his work on The Colbert Report, a satirical show that ran on Comedy Central from 2005 to 2014. After he replaced David Letterman on The Late Show, the program was nominated for the most Outstanding Talk Series at the Emmys from 2017 to 2022. Meanwhile, other late-night legends have rallied behind Colbert in the wake of his show's cancellation. Jimmy Fallon said: 'I don't like it. I don't like what's going on one bit. These are crazy times,' Fallon said, referencing how 'everybody [was] talking about' the decision. 'And many people are now threatening to boycott the network', he said, setting up another punchline. 'Yeah – CBS could lose millions of viewers, plus tens of hundreds watching on Paramount+.' David Letterman also backed his successor and suggested CBS canceled The Late Show because he was 'always shooting his mouth off' about Donald Trump. The 78-year-old late-night legend created The Late Show in 1993 after NBC denied him the chance to succeed Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. In his first comment on the show's cancellation, Letterman noted that his show was more about political satire than his version of The Late Show but was still complimentary, calling the decision by CBS 'pure cowardice.' 'I think one day, if not today, the people at CBS who have manipulated and handled this, they're going to be embarrassed, because this is gutless,' he told former Late Show producers Barbara Gaines and Mary Barclay.

TV fans celebrate as 'greatest show ever created' marks nine-year anniversary
Phoebe Waller-Bridge's British comedy-drama Fleabag marked its nine-year anniversary this week TV fans have celebrated as the "greatest show ever created" marked its nine-year anniversary this week. Groundbreaking BBC drama Fleabag was created and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and centred around a free-spirited woman living in London. The series started as a one-woman show at Edinburgh Fringe Festival before transferring to the small screen in 2016. A second season followed in 2019. The fourth-wall-breaking show stars Phoebe as the titular character, who had no filter as she navigated life and love in the capital while trying to cope with tragedy. "The angry, grief-riddled woman tries to heal while rejecting anyone who tries to help her, but Fleabag continues to keep up her bravado through it all," the synopsis adds. Throughout the series, viewers were introduced to a number of eccentric characters, including Fleabag's stepmother Matrigna (Olivia Colman) and her forbidden love, the Hot Priest (Andrew Scott). The cast also included Sian Clifford, Hugh Skinner, Jenny Rainsford, Bill Paterson and Brett Gelman. Shortly after its premiere, the show received critical acclaim, with many reviewers branding it "one the greatest television series of all time". TV fans also fell in love with the series, with one person writing on IMDb: "I don't remember when I last laughed so much at a series. I was hooked from the first episode. This series is perfect." Another added: "I cannot say enough about how incredible this show is. I absolutely love it. I don't think I've ever watched anything more perfect. Phoebe is an incredible actress, writer, and creator. I desperately wish there could have been more seasons." A third said: "It's the best I have ever seen. It's magic. The characters, the performances, the editing all a masterpiece. It's so intense yet so fresh," with another similarly sharing: "It was SO well done. Everyone involved should be so proud." A fifth fan echoed the sentiment, saying: "I truly believe this is the best British comedy since Peep show and thoroughly enjoyed it in its entirety. Couldn't recommend this show more." As well as positive reviews, Fleabag also received several prestigious awards. Phoebe won a BAFTA for Best Female Comedy Performance for the first series, with the second series earning her Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress and Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. As Fleabag celebrated its nine-year anniversary earlier this week, several fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to pay tribute to the beloved series. "One of the best, happy nine years Fleabag," one person wrote, with another adding: "The best show ever premiered 9 years ago today." If you haven't seen Fleabag yet, why not let this milestone be your sign to add it to your list. You definitely won't regret it.
