Leno: "What's George Bush Doing Today?" April 16

I thought Jay Leno had given up on his lame "What's George Bush Doing Today?" segment.

Apparently, I gave Leno too much credit.

The feature returned on Thursday's Tonight Show.

This time the President Bush look-alike was having fun with soda again.







Idiotic.

Leno: "What's George Bush Doing Today?" April 2

Jay Leno did a "What's George Bush Doing Today?" installment on Thursday's Tonight Show.

This one was a bit different in that it had a few lines of dialogue.

The George W. Bush look-alike was outside. He was shaking a 2-liter bottle of soda.

Bush said, "I filled this sucker with a bunch of Mentos. Saw it on the Internet."

He then held the bottle over his head and counted, "One, two, three...."

Bush threw the bottle down. It rocketed back at him and hit him in the groin. The Bush look-alike groaned and said, "My nuts!"



Isn't that hilarious?

I think NBC should have let Leno go.

Leno: "What's George Bush Doing Today?" March 31

Jay Leno did another "What's George Bush Doing Today?" installment on the Tonight Show.

Again, it was very brief.

This time the George W. Bush look-alike was playing Dance Dance Revolution for Wii.



Lame.

Leno shows no sign of letting up on these stale Bush bits.

If he wanted to do something fresh and topical, he should have a "What's Barack Obama Doing Today?" feature.

He could be cleaning his teleprompter, mistaking a window for a door, hitting his head on Marine One, smoking under his desk in the Oval Office, making offensive, insensitive jokes, practicing his salute in the mirror, etc.

Have you seen Obama salute? He really does need to work on that.

Leno: "What's Geroge Bush Doing Today?" March 26

Once again, Jay Leno did a "What's George Bush Doing Today?" installment on the Tonight Show.

This one was very brief. The George W. Bush look-alike was in front of a bulletin board loaded with clippings, singing and dancing to "Ma Ya Hi."



Is this the kind of material Leno has planned for his prime time show?

That's not a good sign.

UPDATE, March 26, 2009: Another "What's George Bush Doing Today?"

This one was very brief. The George W. Bush look-like was in front of a bulletin board, singing and dancing to "Ma Ya Hi."

Jay Leno did another installment of "What's George Bush Doing Today?" on Monday's Tonight Show.



Past segments:

A white truck was towing a George Bush look-alike riding in a shopping cart. The actor playing Bush was cracking a whip.

The Bush look-alike balanced on a revolving stool and used a leaf blower to make himself spin.

The latest:

The Bush look-alike was in a lightsaber battle with an actor that could have been playing Dick Cheney or Karl Rove. Bush defeated his opponent. As the Cheney or Rove was sprawled on the ground, Bush ran off looking frightened.




After the filmed bit ended, Leno said that it was either Cheney or Rove. He wasn't sure. Take your pick.

Although it looked more like Rove to me, I think it was supposed to be Cheney, based on the guy's age and the way he was clutching his chest as if he were having a heart attack. Either way, it was lame.

Leno really should try to come up with some material about Obama. The Bush stuff makes it seem like you're watching a stale rerun.

Jay Leno and "What's George Bush Doing Today?"

It seems that Jay Leno is copying David Letterman's lame George W. Bush bashing.

On Wednesday's Tonight Show during his monologue, Leno introduced a short filmed feature -- "What's George Bush Doing Today?"

It began with a full screen graphic and goofy music, a rendition of "Hail to the Chief."



Then the film of what George Bush was supposedly doing today followed.

A white truck was towing a George Bush look-alike riding in a shopping cart. The actor playing Bush was cracking a whip.





That is so, so lame.

And back to the graphic and music.

Absolutely idiotic.

Leno has really turned weird. Letterman has always hated Bush. He's made no secret of that. I expect Letterman to keep drawing from the same well and not offer anything fresh.

Although like Letterman Leno has been merciless when it comes to slamming Bush, I expected him to move on and be more topical, joking about the new administration.

Note to Leno: Bush isn't the president anymore. Get some new material.

Good grief.

What comic genius!
