@TG:
Sorry, but most of us Californians watch Jay Leno. He’s much better (IMO) anyways…
Hmmm! I don’t wonder that y’all lean that way. He’s got better access to the vaccum packed silicon(Dave only has Tony Randall and Regis[though not so much Reeg since his Who Wants to be a Millionaire stint]), a nicer car collection, purty girls down front, celebrity-look-alikes(I liked the Ozzy O.and the Martha S., but the Clinton was better than the Bush[he overdoes the mannerisms]), a black guy paid to laugh at Jay’s lousy jokes(what was the name of the one who had the dignity to walk away?), better tech and props.
However, I like Dave a lil betta cuz he’s from Indiana(close enough to Cincy, OH). He picked up some of his early corny stuff(the hams)from Paul Dixon, a first generation cornball(used a rubber chicken)talk show host for WLWT - TV5. TV5 is considered a ground breaker in talk shows, but I digress. I enjoy Dave cause he thumbs his nose a the expected. Notice the white socks with the $? suits. He is relaxed and human.
Jay is still stiff after ten(count 'em, 10) years. I read a interview with Jay recently. The article mentioned that Jay(#1 in the ratings) was paid $14 million a year, while Dave (#2 in the ratings) got $17 million a year. Old news, but Jay’s words sounded bitter and the interviewer commented on the same thing.
I think the $ will hurt CBS in the long run, but most of the stuff on tv or cable is crap.
HA! Yet I sometimes watch both Dave and Jay’s stand up comedy, channel surfing between bad jokes, commercials, Jay’s extended stand up and/or Dave’s Top 10Forget the fluff-interviews). - Xi
