Channel 7 decides Leno is better part of valor

To air Leno at 10 p.m. after all rather than 79th straight hour of local news.

Station owner Ed Ansin said, presumably with a completely straight face: "Jay is from Andover, where I went to school. I enjoy his humor."

The Globe story is by Johnny Diaz, so naturally it doesn't explain what might have really led to Ansin's change of heart.

If you really enjoyed his humor

You wouldn't have attempted to bump his show in the first place. Here's a towel, Eddie...use it to wipe the egg from your face.

nuts

That blows, I was finally having hope for America (or at least Boston) - then they had to buckle and put Lame-o back in the lineup. We all know Kim Khazi and Frances Rivera provide more laughs than Leno could ever dream of, unintentionally though they may be.

Boo! I demand less Leno

Boo! I demand less Leno everywhere.

We need less Ch. 7 news, less Leno....

...so how about some old Johnny Carson Show reruns!?

My DVR would be set every night....

(I know I'm sounding like an old fart.)
