NBC couldn't stomach the fact that Leno's jokes about Obama were always
right on target about the first black president and left-leaning Democrat.
Executives at NBC were being harassed by Obama himself.
GOLDEN OLDIES FROM JAY:
"I was going to start off tonight with an Obama joke, but I don't want to
get audited by the IRS."
On NSA surveillance: "We wanted a president who listens to all Americans --
now we have one."
On a new IRS commissioner: "He's called 'acting commissioner' because he
has to act like the scandal doesn't involve the White House."
On closing the Guantanamo prison for terrorists: "If he really wants to
close it, turn it into a government-funded solar power company. The doors
will be shut in a month."
Concerning the Benghazi, Associated Press, and IRS scandals: "Remember in
the old days when President Obama's biggest embarrassment was Joe Biden?"
On saying he didn't know about the IRS scandal: "He was too busy not
knowing anything about Benghazi to not know anything about the IRS."
"The White House has a new slogan about Benghazi: Hope and change the
subject."
"It's casual Friday, which means that at the White House, they're casually
going through everybody's phone calls and records."
"It is not looking good for President Obama. Today his teleprompter took
the fifth."
"Fox News has changed its slogan from 'Fair and Balanced' to 'See, I told
you so!'"
On commencement address: "He told the young graduates their future is
bright unless, of course, they want jobs."
On a Chicago man who set a record for riding a Ferris wheel: "The only
other way to go around and around in a circle that many times is to read
the official report on Benghazi."
On White House claims of ignorance on the scandals: "They took 'Don't Ask,
Don't Tell' out of the Pentagon and moved it into the White House."
Now the last and I think best..... "These White House scandals are not
going away anytime soon. It's gotten so bad that people in Kenya are now
saying he's 100 percent American."
Every one of these was delivered by Leno on the air.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Did Comcast Corporation, which last year bought out General Electric’s 49% stake in NBC and donated over $300,000 dollars to Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign, have anything to do with Leno’s exit?

That has been posted multiple times and debunked as "fake news"
Leno was an equal opportunity comdeian. He made fun of everyone including Republicans. I liked him a lot, but still preferred Johnny Carson. You can still see re-runs of the Carson show every night, and at times I watch those instead of the junk on now.
But he announced his retirement in 2004, four years before Obama became president and 5 years before he actually left the show, he wasn't ditched. After he retired in 2009 the shows ratings went in the tank with Conan O'Brien. They brought Leno back for a while to try to save the show, but it was too late. The last year of production the show lost about $40 million dollars. That is why he left the show the 2nd time.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Jay had writers but had the balls to deliver when he could have said no.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.

Jay Leno was far better than any of those who followed him, certainly head and shoulders above the current crop of so called comedians on the air today.

Are you saying that higher ups that contributed many thousands to the DNC and Obama did not get their feelings hurt?

Leno raised the bar in most respects.

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Leno hit the mark on those remarks just as he did on remarks about Bush and, let's face it, he would have had a field day with Trump. He was a humorist while his successors are just bitter critics and their humor falls short. GD
