Parents need to know that this prime time talk show/comedy series features all the traditional segments of similar late-night shows, from celebrity interviews to silly skits. Much of the humor is derived from current events, and, as a result, includes a fair bit of sexual content (including references to S&M and homosexuality) and occasional mild references to violence and alcohol consumption. Teens may not be wild about Leno’s sketches but may find the celebrity interviews and musical performances entertaining.
Positive messages:Although the series pokes fun at current events and popular celebs, politicians, and others in the media spotlight, the jokes aren't intended to be mean-spirited.
Positive role models:Leno is a friendly and classy host with an accesible sense of a humor. Not that he won't take a jab at someone when the occasion (or his script) demands, of course.
Violence:Some humorous, generally mild references to violence, mostly as they relate to the day's current events.
Sex:Some strong sexual innuendo, including references to S&M and use of terms like “ramrod." Occasionally, sex scandals and other current events are discussed.
Language:Words like “damn” and “hell” are audible.
Consumerism:The series is a promotional vehicle for comedians, musicians, actors, and other performers.
I myself enjoy this show, but sometimes, there are just too many sexual references for me to deem this show acceptable for a child under the age of 14!
The Jay Leno show is hilarious. My favorive segments are:
1. Headlines
2. Ghosting
3. Green Car Challenge

5. Beer Pong Shot of the Day
6. Great White Moments In Black History
7. Mugshot of the Day
8. Jaywalking
9. Battle of the Jaywalk all-stars
10. Back To school products
11. Monolouge
This Show is so funny I laugh for hours on end
Didn't laugh at all, stale. Same old schtick. Not sure what is so "new" about this show. Interviews are pretty good, but they don't make up for some very bad pre-filmed bits. Really bad comedy, just plain sad really.
The Jay Leno Show
(Rated TV-14, Comedy, Starring Jay Leno, Kevin Eubanks, Where to watch: NBC, Online) how these language cannot be for children who is under 8 or 9.
