Someone who could have made a difference chickened out - Jay Leno

Shame on you Mr. Leno. From Breitbart:

Jay Leno Says You Either Accept Cancel Culture ‘or You Die’
Veteran late-night TV host and comedian Jay Leno says he will be dropping jokes that may run afoul of the #MeToo movement, stating, “you either change with the times or you die.”

Leno is suggesting comedians will have to curtail their content if they want to survive in the entertainment industry in the era of wokeness and cancel culture.

“When I do a gig in Utah and they’ll go, ‘Look, we don’t want any drug jokes, we don’t want any sex jokes.’ I go, ‘OK, I’ll take those out,’ and I do something else,” Leno said during a recent Zoom call from his Los Angeles home, according to a report by Los Angeles Times.

“With the #MeToo movement, all of a sudden the sexist jokes everybody used to do, you can’t do anymore,” the former Tonight Show host added. “So you either change with the times or you die. You adapt to the circumstances.”

A real pity.  Someone of his stature could have stood up to the bullies and made a real difference.

Instead, he took the easy way out and caved to the six-year-olds. Shame.
