November 16, 2022 / Posted by:

Earlier this week, we learned that Jay Leno sustained serious burns when one of the cars he was working on in his garage burst into flames. Jay put out a statement saying that he was OK and just needed “a week or two” to get back on his feet. Now we have another update on his health; People reports that Jay’s doctor, Dr. Peter Grossman of the Grossman Burn Center, held a press conference today and revealed that 72-year-old Jay had to get surgery for second and third-degree burns to his face, chest, and hand. Dr. Grossman says that, yes, Jay’s burns are serious, but he is in good condition and expected to make a full recovery. That’s good news, Doc, but what about Jay’s iconic chin? WE NEED AN UPDATE ON THE CHIN!!!! Continue reading

Jay Leno Denies Sabotaging Conan O’Brien’s “Tonight Show”

August 3, 2022 / Posted by:

Jay Leno is That Girl. The type who paints themselves as nice, but is actually the common denominator in all the (late night talk show) drama. First there was the feud with David Letterman, who was pissed Jay got The Tonight Show after Johnny Carson retired in 1992. Then it was Jay vs. Conan O’Brien. Jay left The Tonight Show in 2009, Conan replaced him, and Jay began hosting The Jay Leno Show at 10:00 PM. After several months of this arrangement, NBC decided they weren’t happy with the ratings. They gave Jay his 11:35 time slot back, and offered Conan two choices; his Tonight Show could either move to 12:05, or he could leave NBC. Obviously, Conan exited, and Jay made his official return to The Tonight Show. Then, four years later, he left for good. And that, my friends, is why we are stuck with Jimmy Fallon.

People reports that, on a recent episode of Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, Jay addressed the decade-old drama, denying rumors that he “sabotaged” 59-year-old Conan’s Tonight Show by deliberately tanking his new 10:00 PM show. But 72-year-old Jay says “it doesn’t work that way.” Nope, Jay’s new show sucked without him even trying, thank you very much! Continue reading

Jay Leno Is Sorry About The Jokes He’s Made About Asians For Decades

March 25, 2021 / Posted by:

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a single episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno yet I know how much he likes making jokes about Asian people eating dogs, that’s how much he loves them. Even as recently as last year Jay was reportedly making the same hack joke, and calling him out on that shit is part of the reason Gabrielle Union got the boot from America’s Got Talent. Jay’s been obstinately holding on to the same shtick like that Flintstones boulder’s been holding onto the bottom of his face. However, according to Variety, after 15 years of riding his ass, activist group Media Action Network for Asian Americans (MANAA) has managed to pull out an apology, thanks to the fact that Jay Leno will never, ever, ever retire and just let us be.

Gabrielle Union Says Simon Cowell’s Smoking Gave Her Bronchitis On The Set Of “America’s Got Talent”

May 28, 2020 / Posted by:

Last fall Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough were fired as judges on NBC’s America’s Got Talent. It soon came out that Gabrielle’s forced exit may have been related to her “difficult” (sigh) habit of calling out on-set racism and sexism. By December, AGT was being investigated by SAG-AFTRA, and NBC was in full damage control mode, claiming they were working with Gabrielle’s people to “hear more about her concerns”.

Gabrielle has tweeted a little about these reports, including responding to AGT host Terry Crews’ sycophant “huh? NBC isn’t racist” comments.  But she hasn’t given a full account of her experience. Not until an interview with Variety, where she got into it. Gabrielle says she realized something was rotten in the state of AGT from Day One, when fellow judge/executive producer Simon Cowell casually smoked indoors. Not just a violation of public health laws, but dangerous, because Gabrielle is highly allergic! Continue reading
