When Jay Leno decided to change his show, I’m not sure what he thought he was going to change.

He threw the desk out the window.  He moved the stage closer to the people so he could get “up close and personal.”

But, what was that all about?  It’s certainly nothing new.  Oprah has been doing it that way for years.  Ellen has a great show running too and she’s about as up close and personal with her audience as it gets.

You say those aren’t late night shows?  Ok.  George Lopez threw the desk out the window too and he’s up and close with his audience.  So really, where is Jay Leno leading the way?

Well, not in ratings.  That’s one thing for sure.  In fact, his ratings are having an effect on Conan O’Brien’s ratings, which is something he obviously doesn’t like.  NBC is thinking about putting everything back the way it was.  But, that decision actually hinges on how Conan O’Brien feels about it. 

Ok, so leave everything the way it is and bring in more of those gimmicks that made the show Jay’s in the first place.  I love when people can’t answer simple questions.  I think that’s Jay’s best shtick ever.  That itself has prompted the launch of quite a few shows itself including the ever so popular “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader.”

But, Jay has other funny skits that he does.  I just don’t think he’s been doing enough of them.  Now, Conan O’Brien is not happy.  Do you really think putting everything back will benefit everyone?  What I hear is that Conan has options and some of them are leaving the network all together.  If anything, you don’t want that to happen.

See, for the audience, it doesn’t matter.  All we have to do is change the channel to see Conan.  But, for the network it would be a huge mistake.

Ah, that line from the Star Spangled Banner,

“Bombs bursting in air.”

That may be because the Secret Service seems to be just letting anyone in the White House these days.  Can you imagine?

In this day and age, with everything going on in the world, and we let people just walk on in to what should be the most heavily guarded house in America.  Tareq and Michaele Salahi seemed to have made it in, but were never seated.  I guess that’s because they weren’t on the guest list.  And here’s the kicker:

The agency who allowed this infraction, the Secret Service, is investigating how it might have happened.  They are doing the investigation.  They can’t keep a simple couple out of the White House, but we’re going to let them take care of the investigation.

And look at them!  They’re not in ninja outfits.  They don’t have ski masks.  They’re not invisible either.  I mean, that lady is a looker.  You would think she might have caught someone’s attention as she penetrated the seventeen levels of security that are supposed to be awake as you gander onto the property and make your way through the house and on over to the South Lawn.

Officials say that one checkpoint didn’t follow proper procedures.  Ok!  That’s fine!  Baaad checkpoint!  But, what about the others?

I’ve heard the couple are aspiring reality television show stars.  Well, with Kate and 8, The Hills and the plethora of other utter nothingness that fills the airwaves, I see a contract.  I mean, for real, I’d like to meet them and ask them where they got their balls!

This is an awesome time to be living for me.  When I was a kid, Where the Wild Things Are was my favorite book.  I even had posters on my walls.

But I thought I was losing it one day, years later after I had completely grown.  I could remember the “Wild Things.”  I could remember them vividly in my mind, but I couldn’t find any proof that they ever existed.

My mom had gotten rid of the books a long time ago.  My posters were gone too.  I couldn’t remember what the Wild Things were called ironically.  So, I thought it was just a part of my imagination.  Something I had lost along the way from childhood to manhood.

Then one day, just a few short weeks ago, I see something that throws me back.  It’s the movie.  Where the Wild Things Are the movie will be playing in the theaters.  It seems to me like an entire generation missed out on the great stories that I once loved as a child.

But then, it is resurrected.  Just in time for my daughter to be able to enjoy them as much as I did.  But, she’ll get to see it in the movie theater and then I’ll bring it home when it comes out on DVD.  When I was growing up, we had to use our imagination.  But, I tell you what!  I think I’m going to enjoy it much better this time around.

It was absolutely hilarious. But, that’s David Letterman. It appears John McCain dodged his slot on David Letterman’s show to do an interview with Katie Couric.

Other talk show hosts might have simply let it go. But, not David Letterman. He spent nine minutes on the show in got-to-see television that had me rolling. Even sidekick Paul Shaffer was on it in absolute comedic style.

The best part was when David caught up to where John McCain actually was. See, John McCain called David himself to tell him that he had to hop a plane to fly to D.C. and fix the economy before it explodes. Good excuse…if it were true. Watch the clip!

That’s right! Chu’ch…not Church, but Chu’ch. Oh come on, you’ve heard the joke before. Steve Harvey in “The Original Kings of Comedy” reminded us about Chu’ch. And tonight Natasha Bedingfield belted out Angel and took us all to chu’ch on America’s Got Talent. I know that if I had been a contestant on the show, I would have watched that performance and prayed to God that one day I could put my music out there like Natasha Bedingfield.

It’s worth a look…
