When Jay Leno first started hosting “The Tonight Show” opposite Letterman’s “The Late Show,” the two spent several years going back and forth in leading the ratings. Then, on July 10, 1995, Leno had the fortune of having booked Hugh Grant in advance of him getting busted with a prostitute. Leno famously asked Grant, “What the hell were you thinking?” — and he was the ratings king for the next 14 years.
Kind of annoying how a freak stroke of luck can make someone’s career, right? Welp, get ready for the massively successful “Jay Leno Show,” because it debuts tonight with musical guest KANYE F’N WEST (Jay-Z and Beyonce, at that).
Without a doubt producers are convening at Jay Leno headquarters, trying to figure out how to come up with a way to ask “What the hell were you thinking?” for a new generation. And NBC must be thanking God for giving them evidence of their argument that The Jay Leno Show will be a hit because it can comment on watercooler topics. [Tuned In]
This is great news. It’s about time that scrappy underdog Leno caught a break. What can I say, his message of cars and product placement ads really speaks to my sense of humor. Hey, you gonna finish them chicken nuggets? No? Got any mayonnaise?

Kanye dates the bald chick from the original Star Trek movie?
I am physically incapable of talking (thinking) about Jay Leno, without doing an impression of him. “Eeeeeeh, I’m Jay Leno, eeeeeeh.” Hate that.
Four interceptions? Ha ha, good one Jay.
*this Bears fan sticks head in oven*
That bald chick suffers from the same skin disease as Adrian Peterson.
Is it possible to not watch this show twice? Once for Leno and once for Kanye? I just want to make sure they both get an equal measure of hate.
Bacon is good for me.
@Vodka: I’m sure the Raiders will do a few things tonight that will make you feel a bit better.

I hate everything about this story so I’m going to talk about how hot January Jones looked last night on Mad Men.
So, when Leno asked Hugh Grant, “What the hell were you thinking?” did Grant just shrug and reply, “I wanted my dick sucked.”
how hot January Jones looked last night on Mad Men.
Dream sequence. In the dress. Her tits looked fantastic.
How long has Kayne been going out with Black Ellen Ripley?
