In a testament to how bad Jay Leno is at his job, here we have an extended interview with Tracy Morgan, arguably the best late night interview subject in the world, and it is almost unwatchable. Put down those Post-Its and paperclips, Kevin Eubanks, and take JAY LENO with you on your last day of work.

I think this promise should have been broken Just This Once.
Can we just watch Tina Fey talk about the San Diego Padres and their (should be) Wives?
You’d think when the worst and the best collided it would form a black hole or something
Much like Nicholas Cage-Mathematics, Jay Leno-Physics yields unexpected and terrible results.
Oh, Hulu, when will you stop hating Canada?
Here are the links for the interview for all of you who don’t live in the US:

Much appreciated, thank you!
Hulu hates Droids too. So, thanks for this, but I’m still pretty sure the rest of my day is going to be better if I don’t watch it.
Dear I Like a Skinny Tie,
You always make my day better.
Love,
Whatnow
Not almost unwatchable. Just unwatchable. Like everything Leno.
“I’ve got street cred now” – Jay Leno
“No you don’t” – The Street
Can we get a Kevin Eubanks promise?! Those licks will be missed.
“you get screwed once you get famous” – Jay Leno
“I’m sorry Tracy, but it looks like you’re about to say something funny, can I change the subject really fast, please? Thanks. Tell me about your life in the Projects.”
Here’s a better version:
“I’m sorry Tracy, but it looks like you’re about to say something funny, can I change the subject really fast, please? Thanks. Tell me about your life in the Projects. Uh… here eat Doritos they’re good and crunchy… oh dear god what have I done with my life” – Jay Leno, as he puts an uzi in his mouth and eats fucking lead, his brains blasting out behind him in the shape of an NBC peacock because he’s a company man to the bitter end.

How do you do those Sat-like questions? I want to write the following:
Tracy Morgan is to Jay Leno as Bill Hicks is to Steve Winwood.
Aw, come on guy, I am keeping Bill Hicks’es memory alive and well in east Texas like the devil
Didn’t mean to offend you sir. by the way I NEVER down-vote you. But I am pretty sure Bill Hicks doesn’t need you regurgitating his material for him, that’s what Dennis Leary is for.
You’re falling down on the job, Gabe. Tracy was on Marriage Ref AND Oprah last week! He cried when he talked about Tina!
That was definitely no “I get girls pregnant with my haircut.”
You just have to let Tracy go and do his own thing.
FUCK YOU, Leno. You don’t even deserve Tracy’s brilliant nickname, J to the AM.
When is everyone going to realize that, like Questlove, Tracy Morgan is a waste? Then again, I did not attend the anniversary party, on account of being dead of leukemia, so Questlove could be great. But I doubt it. The pizza was probably good.
huh?
On the contrary, I thought it was highly watchable, if only to witness Jay Leno’s palpable discomfort every time he detected the threat of something spontaneous, interesting, or actually funny happening during the interview.
This is so pathetic. Tracy Morgan is sitting there on the couch and he is all like “genius comedy : my mouth :: free breadsticks : Fazoli’s” and Jay Leno is just sitting there being all like “Why are people laughing when he is not even telling jokes about Bill Clinton?”
true story: a buddy of mine had a chance to run Jay Leno’s vintage Birmingham Small Arms Company Motorcycle off the freeway last week. I still have not forgiving him for failing to rid the world of Jay Leno’s smug once and for all.
*forgiven. i fail at proofreading comments.
Jay (annoying and off-topic): “You’re like Ben Cartwright on Bonanza, remember them?”
Tracy (lying and being polite): “Yes! Yes.”
Obviously the only thing worth vomiting over in this video is Jay Leno. Tracy could do this gig solo. While watching it, I imagined what would make this interview 100% hilarious, and realized it would be if everytime Jay spoke, with replaced his dialogue with footage of Tracy Morgan punching him in the face repeatedly, turning the *ahem* “dialogue” between the two of them into a Tracy monologue with a Jay Leno punching bag prop.
I’ve tried it out with this excerpt, and I think it works quite well-
Tracy: “No, c’mon, MAN! I’m too young for that stuff. I tell ‘em to bag up. Matter’fact, I’m with ‘em, when they make love to their women. I’m the one who tear open the packages. I gotta park the car and put the condom on myself! I refuse to be a grandfather.” (Tracy stands up and punches Jay in the face 3 times. He sits down)
“They’re not even kids no more, they’re dudes.” (Tracy stands up and punches Jay in the face 2 times. He sits down again)
“Now they’re dudes. Absolutely. They had to get out my house.” (Tracy stands up and punches Jay in the face 3 times. He sits down)
“Yeah…” (Punches Jay 1 time from a sitting position)
“Yes! Yes.” (Punches Jay 2 more times for a sitting position)
“It’s embarrassing.” (Tracy stands up and punches Jay in the face 7 times. He sits back down)
“When they’re private parts get bigger than yours they gotta go!” (Tracy stands up, grabs Jay by the hair and slams his head on the desk 16 times. Tracy remains standing)
“They’re no longer my sons, they’re a threat!” (Tracy uppercuts Jay in the chin and sends him careening into his seat, toppling it over. The chair and Jay disappear behind the desk)
“Yea!” (Tracy pumps his fist once, then kisses his necklace. He sits back down)
“Well I have to talk to somebody Jay! I can’t hold all this in!” (applause sign)
The only thing I’d add to this is whenever Jay Leno gets punched, there’s a quick jumpcut to Conan somewhere doing his string dance.
