You Bet Your Life

Jay Leno comedian ,car guy and sidekick kevin. Eubanks ask 2 contestants questions for cash & prizes..it's a half hour. Time waster anyone with half.a brain cell can or should be able to answer the questions..Jay practically gives them the not witty ,clever nor funny. Just a time waster as I said...

I enjoy the show. I'm happy that Jay is doing monologues again. That gives the show more humor. However, they goofed. One question on the February 28 show was "On June 1 1865, Abraham Lincoln gave a famous speech know as?" The answer is the Gettysburg Address as a famous Lincoln speech. However, Lincoln had been dead for six weeks, as he was assassinated in April. Lincoln gave the address dedicating the battlefield in November, 1863.

I guess Jay is bored with his cars. This show worked for Groucho because Groucho was an interesting character. Jay Leno, not so much. I'll admit I went into this not a fan of the idea because the appearance of this show moved others we watch daily. I tried watching it, hoping that maybe it had some entertainment value my doubts were confirmed. Go back to your garage Jay. I realize it has a limited appeal to just us car guys and doesn't make you truckloads more cash like your time on the Tonight Show but this show has no entertainment value.

Last season, the home audiences could win points and prizes, which was fun. This season , the new sponsors only offer travel vouchers (who can stand travelling now, with all the cancellations and delays) or on-line gambling. The contestants are still rather funny, but there isn't much incentive to watch. Also, nobody will answer questions, such as " how do I redeem my points". That's beyond annoying and seems to me like weaseling out of their obligations according to the previous rules . I probably won't be in the ranks of viewers, let alone fans, if these bad practices continue. I'm very disappointed .

Having watched the original with Groucho Marx, this version totally has no comedic effect at all. What made the original great was Groucho himself with his classic quips and expressions. I like Jay Leno but this is not his kind of show. I think he is better off doing candid cameos in other shows. Sorry Jay but this version wastes your true talents.
