The Late Show War

Julian Sanchez mediates:

I think of Jay Leno as an irritating boil on the ass of comedy, on the rare occasions I think of him at all. I’m also not the audience for late-night talk shows. In some abstract sense, I guess I prefer to live in a world where viewers prefer high-middlebrow gag sketches and marginally smarter interviews with celebrities, but it doesn’t really matter, because I’m not going to watch the Tonight Show with Conan any more than I’m going to watch it with Leno.  Neither are like half the people sporting a #teamconan.

My feelings entirely. And yes, "hate" is too strong a term. Leno just bores and irritates.
