I thought it was common knowledge that Jay Leno was born without a penis, making an erection an impossibility.

If so I can’t imagine why.

Nobody in the US watches him, either. Until the OP posted, I was unaware of anyone who watched him.

I don’t watch the show, can you give an example? I would assume that the president is always going to be the butt of late-night humor, it’s pretty much part of the job description.

Is it during a monologue, during the show (does me interview guests?), or on other shows where he is the one being a guest?

Because a late-night talk show host relentlessly mocking the incumbent is hardly a new concept.

Leno is notoriously anti-Democratic. Has been for a long time. E.g., the joke he made in 1988 about “Dukakis” being Greek for “Mondale”.

He’s also a bit racist. (Dancing Itos and all that.)

Put them together and guess what you get?

Has he stopped making OJ jokes yet? Leno has been lame since. . .well, ever.

If he’s really anti-Democrat, there have to be better examples than this. So far it just sounds like a couple Democrats can’t take jokes about their party.

Yeah. I’m curious, too, about how he appears to be anti-democrat. Although, I admit, I don’t watch the cornball…can’t stand him. I still have never heard of him that he is ‘notoriously anti democrat’. And yeah, Marley, it sounds like democrats can’t take a (lame) joke.
