An article in the Times today focuses on Nick Thune and Mikey Day, two of the young comedians Jay Leno hired to make his show funnier. To be honest, we’ve never lasted more than five minutes into The Jay Leno Show, but after learning that the extremely talented Mikey Day (who was a revelation on the sadly canceled, completely misunderstood Kath and Kim) is part of the mix, maybe we’ll watch it someday. And we admire the two comedians for hanging onto their cred despite working for such a, um, mainstream show.
