Jay Leno seems to make a lot of comments about overweight/fat people.

He makes it seem that all of us that have weight problems are gluttons and/or lazy :hunf:

I quit watching him years ago. His "humor" isn't my style.

What a jerk! How 'bout we make fun of his big chin or how he keeps his hands always in his pockets..not good platform posture. Only kidding about reciprocating such bad name calling. There's nothing funny about being overweight.

Comics thinks anything is fair game for a laugh. I despise the humor of Kathy Griffin, Chelsea Lately and the other women comic who make fun of stay at home moms and anyone that have Christian beliefs. I like Jerry Sienfield, Ray Romero, Tim Allen, type of stand up comedy.

We do watch him and from what I have seen he isn't exactly skinny himself...the old saying goes, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Maybe he doesn't have any mirrors in his house? crafty_linda_b

Big difference between Jay Leno & the old Johnny Carson Show - Johnny always made fun of himself and Leno pokes fun at other's expense. I don't watch him for that reason. Its a cruel form of comedy IMHO.
