Jay Leno is taking a stand — and it’s not what most people expect in today’s divided entertainment world. The former Tonight Show host, who spent over two decades cracking jokes for millions of Americans, is now questioning the path that late-night comedy has taken.
Jay Leno believes late-night TV could be more nonpartisan, stating that the politicization of the landscape alienates audiences: 'I don’t think anybody wants to hear a lecture.'
In 1998, Jay Leno stepped out of The Tonight Show studio and into the WCW ring to face Hulk Hogan in a real tag-team wrestling match that blended late-night comedy with pro wrestling drama.
