No, it's those people who can't do the creative job who tear down those who can with infinite snarkiness. The AV is ground-zero for Hipsterism.

His jokes are direct and land every night, the way jokes are supposed to. Letterman chews his lips and meanders and maybe says five good jokes in a twenty minute monologue; he deserves to be a permanent #2. Everyone else, from the whining Cocos to the masters of comedy on the internet, are just jealous losers.

'fingers Grant's chin-butt." Too vivid.

I like how if you visit the Plaza Hotel's (now condos) famous Oak Bar, you can see the same winter carriage painting that appears when Grant is there at the beginning of NBNW.

The interviews aren't that bad. He asks politicians good questions, throws in some depth between the sideshows. Just a good host all around.

Never got the whole 'Leno sucks' hipster campaign. Started during the Coco martyrdom fest, but the Tonight Show's ratings were plunging under Conan so they brought back a guy who actually delivered a, gulp, professional solid set to restore the show to the top. Be amusing when they beg him back a second time when…

Oh, the old Yoko excuse.

It's nice they're symbols of resistance in Russia, but really, their music is absolute, atonal shit. It's kind of like when 2 Live Crew was the symbol of first amendment rights back in '90. "Do we really have to go to the wall for these guys?"

Klaus use to say this hovering over Herzog's bed at night.

Maybe she can come back in a year for Jimmy's finale when NBC begs Leno back a third time to save the Tonight's Shows plunging ratings.

It was funny a week later when on SNL Jan Hooks played Sinead singing a happy Irish tune, trying to appease the people, and she still gets booed (Hartman walks on as Kristofferson, leads her off).

Sinhead vilified, Hoffman ODed…can't we at least get Andy Samberg to shoot some of that new fatal heroin rather than another crappy episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine?

Getting booed at the Bob Dylan 30th anniversary tribute concert for her SNL stunt with the Pope's picture, the ultimate hypocrisy from the 60's generation (back when music still wrestled with issues of principle and the like).

Could have seen Death of A Salesman with Hoffman on my vacation, but the tix were $500 for two, show three and half hours long, and saleslady a typically snide NY bitch, so don't regret it that much. My cousin's children went to school with his in the Village; probably swept up in the proceedings.

True. The most AV commenters can expect on their (imagined) obituaries is how many likes they totaled before they croaked. Hoffman lived a God-like life by comparison.

Don't see too many hefty heroin addicts either.

Hey, most of you dead-end office proles with your clever avatars find black people icky. Not my fault.

There have a number of African-American gymnasts, such as Dominique Dawes and Simone Biles. If the AV could take time from censoring the mention of the existence of African-American tv hosts, maybe they could do a little research for their articles instead. Awesome!

Yeah, Kimmel is so much intellectual, as is Ferguson
(get the hoods).

Fuck you.
