Jay Leno is one of the greatest comedians of all time. He actually used to have an edge. He has a brilliant understanding of the craft of comedy. When he got the Tonight Show it was the double whammy. He went soft because he didn't want to offend potential guests. In addition, started competing with Letterman, and Leno became even more softball. I know Leno still does stand up on the weekends. I wonder if it's sharper than his Tonight Show material. Some of the stuff he does now on the Tonight Show is downright embarrassing.
