According to Leno,

Guy in handcuffs, escaped from cops, ran into Home Depot, and asked
for bolt cutters.

Amazing, Leno said, actually found someone to help him.

Except none of the help at HD would know where the bold cutters are.

The Leno writers missed out on that awesome punchline.

The Leno writers miss out on a lot, like writing anything that's halfway
funny for starters.

I agree. *We were diehard Tonight Show fans for decades, including Leno
but we stopped enjoying him a couple of years ago. *I don't get Letterman,
so it's now Jimmy Kemmel for us, off the DVR the next day. *Maybe once
every 3 weeks he might even have a group performing that we have actually
heard of. Yea, we're in our 50s.

You know you're old when you'd rather go to sleep than watch late night.
All of them have become political mouth puppets for the liberals, and are
b-o-r-i-n-g.

I go back to Jack Parr days. He did a lot of his own writing (not
righting) and was very unpredictable. He also had a group of regulars
that made the show familiar but not too rigid.

Jack Parr was my favorite, but maybe that's because I was 10 or 14 and
hadn't seen anything like that before. I may have gotten
disinterested or even disgusted with Leno the same time Joe stopped
enjoying him, about a couple years ago, because his monologues got
vulgar, more sexual, things I wouldn't let my little kids watch if I
had little kids and they were up that late for some reason, or even my
teenagers if I had teenagers. Despite the hour, I thought it was
supposed to be a family show, and even if not, he managed to go
decades without telling jokes like he does now and he should have kept
at it.
