Forever Odd

The following is my response to Kare 11′s question, “What did you think of Jay’s debut?”:

Being a young man, of 24 years, I didn’t get into watching Late Night with Jay Leno until his last couple of years.  Even then, being in school I never got to watch it as often as I would have liked.  I was very intrigued when I heard about Jay Leno’s new show and am hoping that it will be a success.  I love watching shows like the Tonight Show (now with Conan O’Brien) and Late Night (now with Jimmy Fallon), when I can stay up late enough (being an hour ahead) because of there lighter/comical take on the news in the monologue along with the typical comical interviews.
 
I’ll be the first to admit that I am not a fan of watching the news as it is typically to dry and I can always read about the news I am interested in, ie: Technology and Science, online.  Yes I can even find the videos too, if I so desire, when appropriate.  The only time I actually watched the news consistently, sad to say, is Sept. 11, 2001 and the days shortly there after.  I am also Canadian, so your particular news station doesn’t necessarily pertain to me as it is an American station.  That said though, because you will now be between the new Jay Leno show and the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien I could see you potentially attracting viewers that don’t typically watch the news.
 
I do hope that Jay will be able to get fascinating people to interview and finds intriguing/comical bits to do on his shows beyond the first week and well into the future.
 
That’s my two cents, off the top of my head
