    25% of the entire American population is huge number of people! I'm sure the
    Tonight Show ratings are good, but not that good.

    Getting back to the subject, I just think it's a bit silly to suggest that
    late night comedians like Jay Leno have some kind of liberal political
    agenda. (I was a little hard on Mike in my last post for this reason. Sorry
    Mike). I think any late night comedy fan like me can see that guys like
    Leno, O'Brian and Letterman have anything BUT a political agenda. They
    respect no political party. Their only agenda is to make people laugh. That
    is what they do best. It's why they get paid the big bucks.

    I think Jay Leno would crack a joke about his own mother if he thought it
    would get a laugh from the audience. In fact he probably has.
