I had the misfortune of not switching the channel quick enough when Leno came on.
In his opening monologue, he said that Iran was coming out with its own version of a Barbie doll, mentioned something or other about how tall it would be.

Then went on to say this: "The Iranian Barbie will come with her own bikini, and a bag of rocks to stone her if she ever wears it."

The audience howled with laughter. What a puke.

2. Leno hasn't been funny for years
He was funny and edgy a long time ago, but ever since he got the tonight show he has been a total bore.

6. He (or his joke writers) are also intellectually lazy.
He keeps recycling the same old crap over and over again. He is a bore.

3. Oh well.. given Leno's ratings, you were probably the only one
who heard it.

4. I don't watch Leno
I am in bed listening to old time radio where there is no garbage like that. I am far away from reality.

5. I recall one night back when he had his prime time show.
I was over at some friends' house and he came on. He made some wise crack and all conversation stopped in the room. We all looked at each other and said--that was racist, did he just say that. And the audience laughed away at it.
