Piggybacked or not, The Jay Leno Show premiere delivered
Well, the critics can carry on all they wish, but some of us were tuned in to "The Jay Leno Show" last night. It had nothing to do with Kanye West for some of us. I would have watched if Jay had read the phone book. In recent years TV executives have mistaken youth for full substance audience and mission. Youth is wonderful, but full substance audience is fleeting. Mission is ageless. Jay Leno has that inexplicable quality that endears him to millions and the critics may as well get used to it. The only thing that was odd for me was seeing Mr. Leno seat himself out from behind a desk. That will take some getting used to, but it's a minor point in the great scheme of what makes some of us tune in at night.
