Jay Leno Is A Fuck'n Thief!

Jay Leno takes heat for stealing ideas from Howard Stern





Howard Stern has been talking about Jay Leno stealing his comedic bits for a long time, and the mainstream media is finally starting to pay attention.



Mainstream news outlets including ABC News are now reporting on Howard Stern's allegations of intellectual property theft by The Jay Leno Show writing team. A recent online report by ABC News specifically highlilghted The Jay Leno Show's use of a sketch in which a chicken makes a series of football picks against a football expert. The Howard Stern Show pitted co-host Artie Lange against a live chicken to make football pool picks in 2003 (the chicken won). The Jay Leno Show used the exact same gag on October 9th when pitting retired NFL star Terry Bradshaw against a chicken to predict this year's NFL champion. Mega-blogger Perez Hilton and AOL News celebrity entertainment website PopEater.com are now both reporting on Howard Stern's allegations against The Jay Leno Show writing team.



Howard Stern has also accused The Jay Leno Show writers of stealing the 'earn your plugs' segment in which Jay Leno makes his guests perform 'humiliating' tasks before they promote their latest projects. The mainstream media may be just picking up on the Jay Leno sleaze factor, but Howard Stern has been talking about it for years. Howard Stern has ranted at length over the years on Jay Leno's basing his regular 'Jaywalking' bit on The Tonight Show on The Howard Stern Show's 'Homeless Game.' No second-hander move by Jay Leno has been more obvious, though, than his luring of Howard Stern Show field correspondent "Stuttering John Melendez" away from Howard Stern to take a gig as the announcer on The Tonight Show. Melendez was demoted to the writer's room when Jay Leno moved to his new 10:00PM timeslot.


The mainstream media's attention to Howard Stern Show's accusations is likely due, in part, to crackerjack Howard 100 News reporter Steve Langford's detailed series of reports on the Jay Leno intellectual property thefts.



I stole this item from Liz Brown of da Examiner.com. At lest I'll admit that!



The truth be told is Jay Leno has also stole from David Letterman. After Dave went to CBS to create the "Late Show". Leno stole a number of bits Dave wrote for his "Late Night With David Letterman". Leno and NBC claimed them on "Intellectual Property" rights. As NBC said ..."they owned all property and ideas on LNWDL". Problems was David Letterman owned "Late Night" as well as NBC. It was a "World Wide Pants" production for NBC. Much like what happen when Howard Stern left CBS/Viacom. Stern sued and won his property back. Unlike Stern, Letterman settled for an undisclosed amount of money, gave up the name "Late Night" and all intellectual property except 50% of his old bits.

So "Small Town News" & "Dumb Ads" on da "Late Night Show", became "Headlines" & "Weddings" On Da "Tonight Show". Leno is an unscrupulous, immoral thief. I don't know why it has took almost 20 years before anyone has said anything? I hope it haunts him into an early retirement.


The last word goes to the great comedian Bill Hicks with his take on Leno. Let me say, it's not flattering!
