I cringe whenever he does his two-minute set before the head-to-heads. (How did THAT get written into the show's contract?) Most of the people in the house are much funnier than this idjit. I wonder why he never made it in TV and movies? Hmmm!
Just goes to show that comedy is not objective. I look forward to his sets every week and find his stuff hysterical.To each his own.

Objective! If there is one thing I know in this world it’s that Jay Mohr stand-up blows, yes that word works, his stand-up blows! As you can see I used the word “stand-up”, I’m not judging him as a host or as a whole person, but just his (just came up with a better word than lousy)appalling comedy. I remember reading this interview from an audience member from Las Vegas show and the young lady spoke of Jay’s attempts to entertain the audience. This was during the big controversy and he came out to treat the audience to some contrived stand-up. If I remember it right she said in no uncertain term that he got booed off stage. Still, in my objective opinion he’s a great host for this show--he makes the other comics look good and isn't that his job in the first place.
I really like him... I went to a show where Jay was headlining, back when he was on SNL but before he was *famous*, and he was awesome. Everyone was laughing so hard they were crying. True, though, that comedy is one of those undefinable, subjective things!
<his two-minute set before the head-to-heads. (How did THAT get written into the show's contract?)>It is called Executive Producer! This is why it is in the show.
i find him hilarious. he was ace in the movie go.~ cq
the family circus: It's always there, in the lower right hand corner, just waiting to suck.
I think he's funnier than Ant.

>I think he's funnier than Ant.Well that I agree with!
I'm with mrc here.He completely sucks *ss. Luckily, we have Tivo and I can fast-forward the hell through his stand up.
F-you, Jay. You're not funny. I think, in your case, we need to call it "Sit down."
But, to be fair, he makes a very vanilla, good for not a whole lot, but not annoying (until he tries to make jokes) host.

Sorry, but I look forward to his schtick. I think he has great timing and delivery and is just plain funny. He's a little weird, which I think enhances his appeal. I'd rather watch him than most of the comics left. Off this show he is anything but vanilla, so I find it amusing to see him do bits that are acceptable for network TV. He is a tad too raunchy for my liking when he is uncensored, but I love him here. I use my Tivo to replay his set.
I'm with you here. If he sucked so bad, he wouldn't be the host. He is well known and succesful (by comedian standards)and there is just no way somebody can be funny to everyone.

LAST EDITED ON 09-13-09 AT 00:36 AM (EST)If you suck enough stick, you still suck, but increase the odds of sticking around when others with more talent get passed over. It's not what you know as much as who you know know (or who you blow).
I can't even pay attention to what he's saying in these little routines because I am too distracted by the ill-fitting suits he wears. The long blazers make his arms and legs look short, and the long pantlegs bunching up at the ankles make him look like Harry Potter wearing his cousin's clothes. One would think he could afford a tailor.
It's funny I had never put my finger on that but as soon as you said it I immediatley lol. It is so true! Thanks bunny, for making me laugh.

Idiots cant dress themselves. It's his only defense.
he's ok...he has written some "behind the scenes" book on his days on saturday night live...i haven't bought it yet...but i plan to...
when he was interviewed he seemed sort of bitter about his experience. and he only praised lorne because lorne gave him his chance...but most of the cast members he dissed.

I've gotta say, I've liked Jay every episode except last night's. He is usually hilarious. Last night just didn't sit with me right.
Are you Jay's Grandma. That dude has never been funny. he is a walking piece of turd with legs.
... about the show and it's stars.Please do not direct confrontational remarks towards fellow posters.
Thank you.
Saying he sucks is a disservice to people who suck. Jay Mohr is blessed to be the most talentless turd on the planet and be recognized by anyone but his grandma. Jay Mohr could disappear and make room for deserving talent. What a piece of spit.
