NBC’s “The Jay Leno Show” premiered on Monday and attracted 17.7 million viewers, including myself. It’s a late-night type talk show airing in prime-time. Jerry Seinfeld was the first guest and rude dude Kanye West was there as well. For me, the show felt somewhat awkward. Comparing Jay and Conan has me thinking that “The Tonight Show” got a bit of an upgrade. Conan is funnier, smoother and a better interviewer. Don’t get me wrong, I like some of Jay’s stuff and maybe the show will get some tweaking and improve enough to continue on in its time slot. Alternatively, there’s much worse television out there in Minow’s vast wasteland.
