You Bet Your Life

I've never watched the show because I can't even watch the commercials cause Jay Leno scares the heck outta me!! He looks sooooo creepy!! When they show his face at the end of the commercial...he looks like a Frankenstein monster!!!

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.

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 really wanted to like this, but when I noticed that it only recently came out and was already on Tubi, I was suspicious. Who signed off on this yawnfest? Jay and Kevin both seem like they are just going through the motions, as if this is just a tech rehearsal. There's no energy from either of them. Some of the other reviews here are pretty harsh, and I've only watched the first episode at this point, but frankly I'm stunned that this is so boring. The contestants were likeable, thank goodness, but there seems to be no leadership from Jay, and Kevin doesn't seem to have any role at all. If I was in the studio audience, I'd just want to get up and leave.

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.
