Leno's Political Comedy Ban Boosts Ticket Sales
Update: 2025-11-21
Description
Jay Leno, the former Tonight Show host, shares his strategy for boosting ticket sales: avoiding politics in his stand-up comedy. He believes audiences dont want to be lectured and risks alienating a third of the crowd by discussing political topics. Leno remains optimistic about comedys resilience in todays political climate and compares political change to a donkey. Meanwhile, other late-night hosts face challenges, such as Stephen Colberts The Late Show ending due to a lawsuit settlement with former President Trump. Lenos approach emphasizes broad appeal and unity, aiming to entertain everyone rather than alienate any particular group.
