Joan Rivers Is NOT A Fan Of Jay Leno, Slams His New Talk Show!

Filed under: TV News > Jay Leno > Joan Rivers

jrjl.jpg

In a new interview, Joan Rivers got feisty when asked about Jay Leno's move to the 10pm time slot on NBC.

She says: "I think he will put America to sleep even earlier. And that's good because it will save power and light."

Meow!!!

Joan, who used to be the Guest Host on The Tonight Show in the '80s, is STILL bitter that she was passed over for Leno when Johnny Carson retired.

Get over it, sweetie!

The Jay Leno Show premieres on Monday.

We know how Joan feels, but will U be watching the former Tonight Show host tackle prime time?

We will!

    3. 3

      She is seething with jealousy! Ha-ha!



    4. 4

      I love Jay and I am watching his show for sure.. btw is anyone watching her stupid new show?? Probably not



    5. 5

      I'll watch the interviews with celebrities I enjoy. Jay has no personality, I have no idea why he's on television. Nepotism? Blackmail? Deal with devil?



    6. 6

      this news is about 2 months old



    7. 7

      old, she said that on stern last time she was on.



    8. 8

      Joan, Joan, Joan:
      Friend of the gays?
      She says so-
      True, inclusive before most.
      BUT
      Not a real friend.



    9. 9

      We WILL be watching…Jay is the best! funny, smart, creative and a nice guy…joan is a bitter, jealous bitch that drove even her husband to kill himself (yes, i went there!).



    10. 10

      like anyonelistens to that dried up old biddy PLLLLEAAAASE



    11. 11

      Sorry folks , but Joan is nothing more than a media whore and Jay is nothing but a shell of what Johnny Carson was. Jay is going to be using the same 'ol stupid jokes (which he laughs at). He is proof that TV in general just sucks !



    12. 12

      Joan Rivers is an irrelevant old hag.



    13. 13

      Won't be watching. Leno sucks.

      OMG, she has been going off on him forever…he did not pass you over Carson did, and he is dead…get over it!

      god that quote is so old, like two months ago



    16. 16

      Joan is not ready for prime time. She'll only work with cable networks that allow her to piggyback her daughter, Melissa, an otherwise unemployed woman. (Why did she dump her husband again? Was he not obsequious and doting enough?)

      These comments are old, and so is Joan's anger. If Arsenio Hall can let it go against Jay, why can't Joan?

      where is my comment



    18. 18

      Jay Leno is a talentless hack, but stupid americans like his nasal blather.

      I have never seen jay ask his guests a tough question he is cookie cutter bullshit.

      his new show will fail, Conan will unfortunately be fired and jay will go back to the tonight show like a conquering hero returning from battle.

      they should have given the tonight show to stuttering Jon.



    19. 19

      I am on team Joan!!!!!! Carson was a complete jerk to her when she left as temp host of the Tonight Show to have her own talk show on Fox, which was a great show. Love you Joan!



    20. 20

      Leno rules!
      .
      Rivers' new show is written and produced as if the viewer is 7 years old chewing Bazooka gum. But at 78 yrs old, ya do what ya have to do to stay relevant no matter the embarrassment.



    21. 21

      jay leno does not make me laugh - at all



    22. 22

      Absolutely will be watching, I've missed him….said from day one BIG mistake puttin Conan on … I tune into Letterman now and have never watched that show ever in it's history….now I do. WELCOME BACK JAY I'VE MISSED YOU !!!!!!!!!



    23. 23

      Gawd what a jealous old bat. Go get another face lift!



    24. 24

      In a world of huge ego driven celebrity rants it's always refreshing to turn on Jay and enjoy his down to earth everyday person personality. He's very humbled and Joan is over the top and reaching. Jay has yet to make a statement about her numerous hate rants about Jay's show. Joan Rivers won't ever understand Jay's comedic sense because she's mean and her comedy is quite different. There's something to be said that Jay hasn't had to spend any of his Tonight Show money and he's lived off his comedy earnings. He's doing quite well.



    25. 25

      her new show is amazing…and she actually is funny…he's never made me laugh…never…i never have understood his appeal…she knows what she's talking about…and kudos for her for speaking her mind…and when she does…it's fucking hilarious…she wins no matter what network she is on…she is a class act.



    26. 26

      LMFAO @ Joan! I love that woman!!



    27. 27

      I hated his show at the later time. I can only imagine it will be the same at the earlier time. No, I won't watch it.



    28. 28

      JOAN IS DEAD ON!!! LENO IS TOTALLY FREAKIN BORING WITH THAT 1960'S JIM NABORS ROUTINE AND DEADPAN UNAPPEALING JOKES. WITH JOAN YOU'RE WAITING TO HEAR WHAT SHE'LL SAY NEXT AND SHE CAN BE DAMN FUNNY! WITH JAY YOU'RE WONDERING WHEN THE NEXT GOOD GUEST WILL BE ON. NEXT!! AND HOW IS THIS LENO GIMMICK DIFFERENT THAN THE TONITE SHOW? WILL BE THE SAME LAME ASS FORMAT. SMDFH.



    29. 29

      Why is she even still around?



    30. 30

      Just an old, bitter jew.



    31. 31

      Joan Rivers AKA Cat Woman is a spiteful little prick. She's never been funny or entertaining. Her humor always seems to be at someone elses' expense. Funny thing is her face has become a real joke.



    32. 32

      Joan wasn't passed over. She chose to do her own show in competition with Johnny.
      Johnny got pissed and rightly so. I still do not know why she did it. Like shooting yourself in the foot. Anyone could have told her that would not go over well. Johnny gave her her big break. if she would have stayed she would have probbly gotten the job.
      Jay Leno can't be held responsible, he didn't do anything.



    33. 33

      Gotta admit Joan is fast with the comebacks though.
      Saw her on the apprentice and she just cuts like a knife.
      Like Dave Letterman way better then Leno



    34. 34

      I'll probably watch a few, but Jay Leno is not funny AT ALL.



    35. 35

      i'll be watching jay. i can't stand this washed up old hag.



    36. 36

      DAMN

    37. MP says – reply to this


      37

      I love Jay. He's so much funnier than Joan. Joan is a caricature of I don't know what, a normal faced human being?? I mean really, who can take her seriously, she looks like a cat practically after all that surgery.



    38. 38

      i agree with joan, he puts me to sleep!



    39. 39

      Get the facts right, Perezzi! Joan preceded Leno as the most frequent guest host — but burned her bridge with Johnny when she learned she'd never succeed Johnny to the Tonight Show throne and took the job with Fox. Johnny burned her back by refusing to ever have her back on the Tonight Show — and Leno and Letterman joined suit.

      Besides, for all that Sandra Bernhardt may claim he had a big cock, Leno is a snoozer and loser!



    40. 40

      That's exactly what's wrong with Joan Rivers. She likes no one and has no friends or loyalties. Precisely why her Comedy Central Roast is the worst, by far. It should have been a panel of her friends. Instead it was just a pitty party. There were references made to most of her peers being dead. But come on look at the hacks that were chosen. It's not like she outlived everyone literally. She sucks now and is jealous of Jay Leno.



    41. 41

      abso leno lutely!!! I can't wait for his new show to start



    42. 42

      I hate Jay Leno! I love Joan Rivers!!



    43. 43

      I sure will.



    44. 44

      I love Jay! He is a very sweet man. I loved his last Tonight Show episode when he brought all the kids on stage. He's a class act. I will be watching!!



    45. 45

      She is right about putting people…THINKING PEOPLE…to sleep.

      He is boring, not funny, not smart….nothing but stupid attempts at humor.
      OLD SCHOOL.

      TEAM LETTERMAN/FERGUSON!!



    46. 46

      Joan is so right. He is boring, boring, boring!!! How is this person on t.v. and worth a fortune? Also, I have waited on him several times and he doesn't tip!!!!!!! Cheap ass!!

      I hope he brings back ROSS THE INTERN… the funniest part of The Tonight Show.



    48. 48

      NOPE… LETTERMAN all the way!



    49. 49

      I may record it just to check it out. I think it was a bone head move by NBC to move him to 10. I really don't want to watch him every night. I guess even NBC thinks it has nothing to show on TV so they put him in there. He's really not that funny. I stopped watching The Tonight Show because of him.



    50. 50

      I'll be snoring!



    51. 51

      I can't wait!
