It Last week last night The host elaborated that “Comedy cannot be for everyone” after Leno emphasized that the hosts of the night should be aimed at attracting the wider audience possible.
“It is inherently subjective,” said Oliver, 48. “So yes, when you stand, there are those who try to play a wider audience, which is completely legitimate. Others decide no, which is equally legitimate. I suppose I do not think that this is what you need to do because I don’t think comedy is prescriptive in this way. That’s what people want.”
He added: “I think our show clearly comes from a point of view, but most of these long stories we do are not party policies. These are systemic issues. Our last shows were on band databases, ai’s inclination, youth justice, aerial score spas. Solution. “
Talking in a interview With Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute in late July, Leno looked at his mandate as host of The Tonight Show – He directed from 1992 to 2009 and nine in 2010 and 2014 – and said he sought to maintain political neutrality in his program.

“I don’t think anyone wants to hear a conference,” Leno continued. “I love political humor, I am not mistaken, but the thing is, people end up feeling too side or on the other.”
“Why shoot for a half public? Why not try to get the whole? I like to take people into the big picture. I don’t understand why you would alienar a particular group,” he said. “Or just don’t do it at all. I don’t say you have to launch your support or anything but do what is curious.”
