My father had me when he was He went through the Depression and all this stuff, and all of his friends were old men. When I was young, I was steeped in this. I really liked old men and how they spoke, and I thought it was really funny how they told stories and the words they used, and I absorbed all that. Ever since I started doing comedy, I would use more old words and literate words and I found that mixing the two would create a very good comedy quiver. I think the young people are probably hipper and funnier than old people anyway.
Young comedy fans just like straight-up comedy. You ask your guests a lot of questions about death. Is mortality something that gnaws at you? When I started comedy, I really admired guys like Seinfeld, who will take little things and get very upset about them, like a Corn Flakes box or something. I started wondering if I could talk about very big issues in a very off-handed, trivial way.
Another big one is child molesters. I just invented it, yeah. Why do you think the late-night talk show remains such a popular format? But what I want to do is always make my stand-up and everything I do as timeless as possible, or at least not time-stamped.
Secondly, as odd as it sounds, I want my show to be comic relief from the talk shows that already exist, because now, everyone is commanded to be a political pundit as a talk-show host. So, what happened to talk shows to make them so political?

So, I surrounded myself with writers that were just funny. When I did The Tonight Show, I had never been second guest before on a talk show, and they said Donald Trump was going to be first guest.
There was one funny thing that happened, though. I know Donald Trump, so I know that he does these funny things. I was laughing because I thought it was so funny, and other people were appalled.
To me, that was a very funny thing that he did. To them, it was a very rude thing. But it was both, I guess. Looks like our allotted time is up — thanks, Norm. Any chance you remember that? Oh sure, I remember. He continued, saying, "The model used to be: admit wrongdoing, show complete contrition and then we give you a second chance. Now it's admit wrongdoing and you're finished. And so the only way to survive is to deny, deny, deny. That's not healthy - that there is no forgiveness.
I do think that at some point it will end with a completely innocent person of prominence sticking a gun in his head and ending it. Macdonald said he knew of two people whose lives and professional careers have been upended after their actions sparked outpourings of criticism: C. During that call, the pair gave each other advice and had "a good conversation," he said.

The public perceives there to be a serious rift between Dave and Jay Leno starting at about the time Jay got the Tonight Show and Dave did not. Dave disputes this however; and insists Jay and he are really friends; and have been during the whole late night wars; and if there are any differences or static between them it has to do with Jay's general and unwarranted insecurity as a person, not related to the Jay getting the Tonight Show specifically.
