			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='http://www.popcritics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/jayphillippe.jpg'><img src="http://www.popcritics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/jayphillippe.jpg" alt="" title="jayphillippe" width="215" height="176" align="left" /></a>I&#8217;m sorry, I&#8217;ve not liked Jay Leno for quite awhile now. I&#8217;ve never found him to be particularly funny, his jokes mostly boil down to sexual references that any cheap comedian can get. His interview skills lack a lot, he never seems to connect with his guests and on occasion he makes them uncomfortable.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take poor Ryan Phillippe for instance, who appeared on Leno&#8217;s show last week. Immediately upon sitting down, Leno starts in on the fact that Phillippe played the first ever gay teenager on <em><strong>One Life To Live</strong></em> many years ago.</p>
<p>Up to par with his usual repertoire, Leno makes a few wisecracks, even a <em>Brokeback Mountain</em> reference. And then, to top it all off, he tell Ryan to pretend the camera is his boyfriend and to give it his GAYEST look.</p>
<p>Are you kidding me? It&#8217;s hard to imagine in this day and age that someone like Leno would do something like that and think it&#8217;s funny. It&#8217;s rude, insulting and made Phillippe visibly uncomfortable. So much so, he almost threatened to leave from the embarrassing topics.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s lit a firestorm that probably wont go away for awhile and who knows what kind of trouble Leno will get into. His comments led to a letter from Jeff Whitty, which led to another post which led to the beginnings of <a href="http://www.mygayestlook.com"><strong>mygayestlook.com</strong></a> (NSFW).</p>
<p>All the photos on the site are basically people flipping off the camera, which is in essence supposed to be Jay Leno.</p>
<p>The sad thing is, the guy still leads in the ratings and it only proves to me that a lot of people like childish, immature humor compared to more intelligent and witty writing on other late night shows.</p>
<p>I still don&#8217;t know how a guy like Leno thinks this kind of thing is okay. He hasn&#8217;t commented on the issue at all yet, but we&#8217;ll see if he does.</p>
<p>What do you think? Is this crossing the line? Watch the video below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My wife first told me about this interview.  She saw a clip of it on TV and didn&#8217;t know if it was real or not.  I had to see for myself, of course.</p>
<p>I really haven&#8217;t ever seen <strong>Between Two Ferns</strong> or ever heard anything about <strong>Between Two Ferns</strong> or the host, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0302108/"><strong>Zach Galifanakis</strong></a> (<a href="http://www.zachgalifianakis.com/">official site</a>).  Turns out it&#8217;s pretty funny&#8230;and pretty uncomfortable&#8230;especially for <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0148418/"><strong>Michael Cera</strong></a>&#8230;and maybe the really ticklish people among us.<center><br />
