Punchline Poll: Jay Leno Will Take Your Job
The holidays are over and that means it’s time for another Punchline Poll! The rules are fiendishly simple:
1. Read the joke
2. Pick your favorite punchline
3. Winning punchline advances to next week’s joke!
This week’s joke is called “Jay Leno Will Take Your Job”:
Jay Leno was driving down the street in one of his old-timey cars when he passed an ice cream parlor. “I love ice cream,” he said to himself. “I bet it would be fun to work in an ice cream parlor!” He went into the ice cream parlor and strolled behind the counter and picked up a scoop. “What are you doing, mister?” asked the kid behind the counter. Jay Leno shoved the kid out of his way. “THIS IS MY JOB NOW,” Jay Leno said. “Also, all these ice cream flavors are too weird. We should only serve vanilla. Everybody loves vanilla.” He threw the other flavors away and started scooping great heaping piles of vanilla ice cream into his mouth.
Just then a mailman walked into the ice cream parlor. “Cool– MAIL!” said Jay Leno. “I bet it would be fun to deliver the mail!” He grabbed the mailman’s satchel. “What are you doing, sir?” asked the mailman. “THIS IS MY JOB NOW,” said Jay Leno. He started leafing through the mail. “These magazines are too weird. We should only deliver Ladies’ Home Journal. Everybody loves Ladies’ Home Journal.” He threw the other magazines away.
Just then Rudy Giuliani walked into the ice cream parlor. “Cool– AMERICA’S MAYOR!” said Jay Leno. “I bet it would be fun to be America’s Mayor.” Rudy Giuliani replied, “Can I be honest? ___________________”

Yes, Conan has been offering such cutting-edge humor–fat jokes, gay jokes, endless mugging and goofy voices. Daring. Bold. Conan.
Leno is one of the worst interviewers of all time. Tyra is worse, of course, but if that’s your level, you’ve got problems.
I don’t think he’s ever read a book in his life. It’s embarrassing when he has an author on the show. He just holds the book and stares at the back cover, like you do if you’re in a book club or class and didn’t read the book.
He can’t even be bothered to watch half the movies of his guests. Maybe more.
I don’t have a problem with him doing stand-up, but to be funny on his show, he has a team of two dozen writers. Does he strike you as being THAT funny, even with so many writers?
So, you’re defending Conan by trashing Leno? Interesting!
