Jay Leno’s Best Sick Jokes
Jay Leno’s rep says it looks like dehydration sent the Tonight Show host to the hospital last week. But Leno prefers to process his trauma by mocking Conan O’Brien and Ben Silverman.
Fine by us! And we’re sure future Tonight Show successor O’Brien and the NBC Entertainment co-chairman Silverman are both relieved to have Leno back on his feet. Although it’s safe to say only one of them has been waking up in cold sweats, praying to a new-found God for Leno’s good health.

I wouldn't worry about Jay Leno, the man's a survivor. He's been living with the mumps for almost sixty years.

Leno was sick and NBC was worried it was swine flu. Jay is always riding his hogs bareback. (Cue "Dueling Banjos")
In the hospital for dehydration? Was the guy running a marathon in the Mohave desert or something?
That's almost as bad as when stars check in to the hospital for "exhaustion."
@ScottieB: I too am confounded by the appeal of audible rim-shots. You are not alone, my friend.
Leno's not funny. I don't know how else to say it.
It has confused me for years that the man has fans and has been on TV forever.
I guess it must be me.

Leno clips? Really?
@TableNine: rim shot. ha.

Dehydration? I had always assumed Leno stored water and other nutrients in his chin, like a camel's hump.
@edosan:
It means he had the runs!
Your shit comes out as liquid & runs through you faster than you can drink more in!

@ScottieB: He survives because Americans who live between the Coasts, for the most part, like their comedy safe and unchallenging, without the subtle ironies that Conan and Letterman use routinely. Das Volk will watch any crap they're thrown--e.g., Dancing with the "Stars". Now there's a brain cell killer for the already IQ-impaired!

I thought that was funny. What did I learn from this?
To be consistently funny (again), Leno needs a chronic disease!
