Well, as they said, "the world will never be the same", and it hasn't been. That was the beginning of all this tyranny against the US citizens. After 911, the next major crisis was the plandemic. And there will be another one so they can further shape the world they want - complete control, track, stack and pack, get us eating insects, and transhumanism. Not to mention, slowly killing us off. Things will only get worse as we march toward 2030 which is their goal to have a lot of their draconian measures implemented.

We've allowed this generation of asshats, tell us what we should think, and accept and agree with,No Way,Keep Bailing.

I watch these to remember when life was quasi normal.

Sadly the democrats are the reason those days are gone.

You've never ordered at the back door of a restaurant because you were legally unable to go inside. Those were the good old days.

TV

These were better times. Yeahim 52 suck it.

I feel ya Brother, Stay Strong

I just woke up to this too😂😂😂

This is better

I also was watching A Closer Look and woke up to this! 😅 I prefer Seth Meyers to Jay Leno, but this is pretty funny.

Same here brother. Hope youre you're doing well

me too!

I'm just cracking up watching. My stomach is sore from laughing. I forgot how funny these were.

Try cutting all sugar

@@odinata Yeah, I have.

paddocmegchiru I wish I was just getting old......😫

Nah,just a bit wiser .

Aint that the truth

Never forget, we're still very young, we only die twice

I still get ID 🥺

That's crazy. Nobody watched, or even had a TV in their room, when I was in college from '88-'92. One guy on a baseball scholarship did have a small black and white that he used to watch baseball by himself and chewed sunflower seeds.

Mary Adams I miss Jay and Kev a lot! Fallon isn't even a pale shadow of what Jay was. The few times I've seen a few minutes of Jimmy, it's obvious the Tonight Show is far too much weight for him, just way too much for him period. He lols constantly nervous, won't let guests get in any words edgewise and nervously laughs. It's awkward. Jay and Kev showed how you do a late night show.

Indeed! I can’t believe how many of these I watched once I re-discovered them! I worked for a newspaper for a number of years, laying out the ads first, then later I became a reporter/ writer. So, this kind of thing is right up my alley! 😂

Not even remotely funny

@@dennislopez8661 it's funny you don't find it funny ahaha

lol me too. those were always my favorite segments with Jay, always made me lol, they were just the best. Most times Jay couldn't keep a straight face during them: Jay: "Uh-oh, it's the Boner-Holder wedding!" xD

@@TheBraunMachine2011 its the orange-butte wedding.

I don't know but would it be possible, what I mean to say is I think the zeitgeist of it was that it occurred when it did. I think if you try to do it now it unfortunately would render it forced and ineffectual. Almost like a spontaneous young love, it's beautiful because it happened in the moment and trying to recreate it again would only cheapen what it was he once gave us

Jesus Christ i didn’t expect emotionally traumatized by the comment section here

Everyone has to retire eventually. Wish our presidents would get that memo.

Well, of course it would be possible. But would it be popular? Would it get ratings? I believe it would, based on this very video. Ten million views in five years and 24,000 likes. Would Jay want to do it? I don't know. The only way we would find out would be to e-mail NBC and tell them we want it, and then see what happens. I think it could be a funny show, and not dated, because newspapers, magazines and restaurant menus still have unfortunate typos.

Ya all he had to do was sit and relax, laugh at Jay's jokes and play guitar

Me too!

I miss Johnny Carson

Are we sad posting my friend? Let it begin. I used to watch these on an old worn down couch in my grandparents living room. So cozy! My grandpa was still alive, my mom was so young and healthy, and my sisters were toddlers and not drug addicts. They were happy back then. I would give up being this tough, bearded, middle aged man and go back to being scrawny nerdy me to have those days back. Simpler times.

That’s soo cool😎👍🏻 Dallas Bagley

Everyone has their period in time. I can't be the only one that watched the "the 90's" series and wept like a child.

when did this aire?

Your story makes me happy, thanks. I watched this show almost every night when I'm serving military 03~05. Jay makes me laugh every night.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiujoh

Same with me and Letterman, lol. I just really needed to be allowed to stay up for the Top 10. Dad would usually send me to bed after that, because it was just usually celeb interviews after that anyway and I didn't care about those as a 10-year-old LOL

Do you remember the first one you saw?

@@lumen8341 haha forgot about the top 10, that was a great segment too

Same, my parents let me watch though by this point but I remember sneaking on the TV in my bedroom in the mid-90s. I was 14-15 when these aired in 2000, but I always loved Headlines. Only part of his show I thought was funny. I was a much bigger fan of Letterman, especially as an adult.

Same with me, but it was Carson. I'm just an old chunk of coal now.

Yepp me too

@@Lewjis me three

Same thing happened to me today, weird.

I just woke up with this playing too. 2&1/2 hours into it too..

33 mins in just woke up lol

Life was normal! I think the year 2000 was my generation's end of "normal". The next year was 9/11 and all the ridiculousness that ensued since then. Maybe I'm just old now but the rate of change in our culture has seemed to speed up since 2000. Of course an earlier generation wished to return to a time "back before Elvis, before that Vietnam War came along. ". At a certain point in life it just seems to get ridiculous. Around 2000 was kind of a sweet spot though.

U must be old. Letterman was funny however Jay was not. Wake up friend 😊

They both were funny Jay had better bits.

@Dennis Lopez we get it: you don't like Jay. Do you need the list of another 40 threads to state the same opinion?

@@tomwakemsr.4942 it still wasn't too bad up until around 2008.....downhill ever since...

it hit too close to their "group"

All of them from Newspaper Reporters & Editors no doubt...

Headlines was the only bit of late-night tv I was regularly allowed to stay up and watch. I was younger than a teenager at the time.

Yes classic! Loved Jay’s Headlines!!

I wrote to Elvis and told him he should eat peanut butter and banana sandwichs

lol lol Liz

Then they wrote back and said "Shut it, teenager..."

Well, anarchy won.

Happen's to me all the time

Same!!

me too

Same

Same

Conan is funnier tho. And I watched both. This doesn’t hold up. Plus he was a perve

what does your grandmother think of todays late night “comedy”?

we'd just watch wwe and not 2 mind my own anyways hola at yah boi x

Conan > Leno

Helius Infinitus especially Jimmy god that guy sucks he’s like Joey from full house he’s not funny

But he could actually be really unkind and as a result not funny.

Yup i remember when he started after JOHNNY CARSON retired, now Jimmy Fallon is not funny at all sorry to say, should've stayed at SNL

yea gave up on the new guy i was hoping nbc would wake up and realise that all good comedians are retired my second choice is tim allen very funny guy

Lmao yeah no… he’s not funny at all…

​@@dennislopez8661 found the liberal

@@chubbsbully7198 Sounds like he's going thru gender transition.

@@hmdoc16 that makes zero zense

You nailed it! I think that's why so many of us converted from Letterman to Leno in 1995. We tuned in on Hugh Grant night and saw Jay and Kevin doing Beyondo and having the best time. None of the angsty irony from Dave's world and it was a surprisingly better way to end a night. It really all turned around for Leno when Kevin moved into Branford's position.

Mike Stevenson Exactly. I'd been watching Jay from night one, it was obvious while Branford was a good, talented guy he wasn't going to be bandleader for long regardless of if Kev had taken over for him or not. Branford was just going in a different direction and he's done well for himself. When Kev took over, at first he was basically doing Branford's job to the letter. Then suddenly, and I can't remember how long after taking over it was, Jay decided one night to improv try some banter with him during the monologue. Bam, you could tell right away they had very good chemistry. Over a pretty short period of time after that, Jay added more and more monologue banter until he was a full regular part of that. Then he tried having Kev do some of the comedy bits/sketches with him and their chemistry got even stronger. Kev said in an interview several years back all of it just happened organically and that he didn't see any of it coming AT ALL. Also said it was the best time of his life, he loved every minute of it. Promoting Kev to bandleader when Branford left was the right call. Jay got his Ed McMahon...he got REALLY lucky, that night he decided to try the monologue banter paid off big time. Both Jay and Kev made the show what it was. Miss them both, I haven't watched late night or the Tonight Show since Jay left!

Claudette S I went to one of Jay's shows during his really final week, I had the great pleasure of meeting him during a commercial break! He's on the other side of the audience, then all of a sudden I hear him calling to me! Threw me up a pair of Tonight Show socks to take home! Years before my Mom wrote to him telling him I was a fan of his and watched every night, he sent me an autograph pic of him for Christmas that I have in a frame! When he threw the socks up to me he somehow recognized me and said "You're a long way from home, LA isn't exactly right up the street!" and did his trademark laugh! I thanked him for granting my ticket request and he said no thank you for the support all these years, happy to do it for you! Class act, every bit the great guy in person as he was on TV.

You made me curious. This video has been 'watched' for 8,782,446 hours. If my math is right that's about 1002 years. From Feb. 10 - April 1 it was viewed for 975,624 hours. So 111 years-ish. That stretch is by far the biggest bump it's had. It's unreal something I taped 20 years ago with no idea that more than a couple of people might ever have even seen it, has eaten up a millennia. Now imagine what a really popular channel's analytics look like. I imagine Netflix has comsumed billions of years of people's time.

@@RoundingThird Holy HELL!!! THAT is a LOT of Leno!

Don't bet on that! It is worse than ever with the help of autocorrecting for text. The sad thing is that spelling and grammar skills are becoming something deemed as an unnecessary skill so people don't even recognize that the correction is even worse than their guess.

forcingfate I just commented the same thing. I’d love Monday nights and I’d always remind my grandma that it was time for headlines and we’d sit on the couch and I’d end up laying with my head in her lap and fall asleep. Man I miss her, wish I had a time machine.

That’s really weird I used to watch jay with my grandma as well

I use to watch Leno every night with my grandfather.

Iam so,so sorry about the passing of your grandma!!! 😭😭😭😭,Iam glad you have those memories forcingfate!!!! My grandma passed away 3 years ago from cancer,I miss her so,so,so,so much!!!!

Woah. I remember QVC.

No, they don’t. Conan all the way

@@dennislopez8661 you must have a crush on Conan.

You most have a crush on Leno 😆

@@dennislopez8661 , logical fallacy: false dichotomy. A false dichotomy claims that only one of two things can be true when that isn't, in fact, the case. A single person can find Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno's headlines funny. I am such a person. Therefore, I disprove your claim. If you would rather say that you personally find Conan O'Brien funny but do not find Jay Leno or headlines to be funny, that would be true and logically sound.

You can tell from Dennis's comments that not only has he never watched Leno, but he didn't watch Conan when he hosted the Tonight show for the short time he was on. It wasn't the right fit for him, and he ended up having a very successful career despite losing the Tonight show gig. Dennis is just hating on Leno because the internet told him to and isn't capable of thinking for himself.

Mondays, right?

Me too! I used to tune in on this tiny black and white TV/weather radio thing I had in my room while I was supposed to be doing my homework. 😁 This video brings me back a fragment of a feeling of those relatively carefree years just before September 2001...

Thomas Ford Was worth every bit of that warning too! It was a good, clean fun time where you knew you were guaranteed to laugh!

Wow u must be ancient. Jay was not funny at all and what he did to Conan was unforgivable.

@@dennislopez8661 Jay Leno was a legend in his own time. I know some didn't find it funny but I loved him. And at 42 maybe I am ancient but we all get old.

The country was feeling delicate and sensitive and the Bush administration took full advantage of that. 25 years later; they dug ourselves into a hole on the world stage, Russia and China followed our example as a leader of the world by unilaterally invading any sovereign nation they wanted.
