Not every joke needs a message. At least, that's how Jay Leno sees it. In a July interview with David Trulio, president and CEO of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, the former "Tonight Show" host said he believes comedy should offer relief—not commentary.
"To me, I like to think that people come to a comedy show to kind of get away from things—you know, the pressures of life, whatever it might be," Leno said. "Now you have to be content with half the audience because you have to give your opinion."
