Episode 436: Now You're Just A Leno That I Used to Know the Finale of Winter Series 2024 Late Nite With Dave Bledsoe

Show Notes Episode 436: Now You’re Just A Leno That I Used to Know
Finale of Winter Series 2024 “Late Nite with Dave Bledsoe”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe gets into a bitter feud with his agent over whose round of drinks it is. (Dave doesn’t have an agent, he was arguing with an old drunk lady in Port Authority.  Again.) On the show this week we conclude our Winter Series for 2024 with the true tale of how Jay Leno ratfucked everyone he ever met. (Pointy chin motherfucker!)

Along the way we discover that Dave is nothing if not consistent. (Consistently do stupid shit while drunk and then breaking into tears afterwards.) Then dive right into the backstory of James Douglas Muir Leno from his humble origins to his time in Hollywood buddying up to people he would eventually stab in the during his long march to the Tonight Show. (This show is neither fair, nor balanced.) We meet Helen, the woman that created Jay’s career only to be discarded when she threatened his seat behind the desk.  We learn the details about Jay’s weaseling that were far worse than what you think you already know. (There was ALWAYS a plan to fuck over David Letterman.)

Our Sponsor this week is Nunzio’s Talent Management, you get the contract you want and nobody gets hurt. We open with Bill Hicks waxing rhapsodic about Jay Leno and close with the Pentatonix harmonizing about people they used to know.
