Ever since he managed to infuriate half of America by getting Conan bumped instead of just accepting his failure gracefully and retiring to only do stand-up shows 300 nights a year (seriously, he does that), Jay Leno’s largely been under the pop culture radar, despite being on network TV for an hour every night. That sort of irrelevance is impressive.
But apparently he’s decided he can start being a whiny, ungracious d-bag again, as his latest bit of anti-comedy demonstrates.
We’re kind of torn on what’s worse about this clip: the fact that it’s incredibly lazy to begin with, with Leno’s head just superimposed over Jonah Hill’s face? The fact that Leno is being a douche to the first man who he screwed out of the one job he wanted in his entire life? The fact that he decided to rub it in that he’s been willing in the ratings for some inexplicable, awful reason?
Either way, the clip’s pretty awful.
