Pluggers by Rick McKee for January 29, 2013

Was it Jay Silverheels? I thought it was one of the Ames brothers. ?

People still watch Leno?

Every time a musical guest is announced and there’s a bunch of loud, shrill screaming, it never fails, it’s always one of those tweeny boy bands.

The Mike Douglas Show had good guests

If you watch Leno, you get what you deserve.

“I don’t always watch late night TV, but when I do it’s Leno”. Dave is an idiot with the lamesy skits I’ve ever seen.

Pluggers are too busy with the important things in life to pay attention to the self-absorbed, narcissistic celebrities of today.

It’s not just Leno! It’s Letterman, Ferguson, and Fallon. Then if you don’t get your fill of “who-heck-are-theys” at night you can tune in the next morning to GMA and/or its identical twin “Today” and see some more of them!

AND BY THE WAY. As long as I’m venting, Robin Roberts is dead! He died in May of 2010. I was in the hospital at the time enjoying a heart bypass operation (a plugger top 10 I’m sure).

These Pluggers have one of them fancy flat screen televisions. Must be the 1%ers of Pluggerville.

Not just Leno. It’s the award shows, like the Grammys, etc. Never heard of any of ’em!

Let’s not forget “Karnak the great” on Johnny Carson!

Love Carson, Leno’s okay, but Dave is a dipstick.

A regular Plugger night owl would know :- )

DevilsNight: Yes, and Steve Allen did it the other way around – he made his guests famous.

Anybody else remember Jerry Lester & Dagmar?& his fractured fairytales?Really before any of the others.

When Carson left the air, I quit on Late nite TV. These guys on air now are bad jokes. Letterman is the north end of a south bound mule. Leno looks like he never recovered from a pinch in the face, Those late late guys? Who cares?

Ferguson is the funniest guy in late night; too bad he’s on so late (thank God for DVR). Leno’s monologue is always funnier than Letterman’s; Letterman’s just been phoning it in for the last 15 years, undeserved Emmy awards not withstanding. But he does occasionally have an amusing Top Ten list still.

marmar in MI: I know of them and have seen clips taken from kinescope footage, but TV hadn’t made it out to the boonies like Dallas back then.

Our whole family loves Leno! Never miss it!
