There are lots of things in the world that Max Silvestri does not understand. Or maybe he just doesn’t pay attention. Each week in this column, Max uses the Internet to figure them out.

Jay Leno is back at 11:30, everybody. Very exciting! The man’s an institution. More like he belongs in an institution, am I right? Or even MORE like America should institute a policy where he is automatically deported to a place that doesn’t have cameras and also killing Jay Lenos is a cultural thing. What an odd policy for the government to enact! Politics are crazy…

Strangely enough, the Internet is not that excited for Jay Leno to be back at the helm of the Tonight Show (after he stole it). Does the Internet hate theft? That’s certainly not the case. In fact, the Internet loves theft. No one with a cable modem has bought an album in six years. (Except me.) No, what the problem is here is that the Internet is filled with young people, and Jay Leno is not for them. Not even a little bit! Jay Leno is for people who still use the Sleep Timer function on their televisions.

Basically, all week there have just been HEAPS of positive feedback for Jay Leno’s return. Mark Lisanti of Movieline had this to say on Twitter during Jay Leno’s Monday show, via Goldenfiddle:

A lot of good points. it’s a shame, because before Monday night I really respected Jamie Foxx. (Just joshin’.) NBC is being really chill about the whole thing. They took Conan’s final episode off of Hulu? Geniune class. Luckily you can get plenty of Jay on Hulu. Here are categories you might find him in (via Videogum):

I appreciate that 8 people tagged Leno “Matlockish.” Is that even an insult? Not sure.

A lot of really cool people were on Jay’s show this week besides Jamie Foxx, though he was the coolest. Brett Favre? What a legend! The Onion said it best: Brett Favre Avenges Storied 16-Year Career With Packers. Two traitorous pieces of garbage in a pod! Also Sarah Palin came on and did stand-up. Finally? I think a lot of people have been saying “finally.” The main reason is was tough watching her almost become a heartbeat away from the Presidency is because we all realized her real gift was stand-up. Check it out!

Yikes yikes yikes. Apparently Leno added more laughs to Palin in the editing booth. Smoothe. Leno is just having a super first week back and definitely impressing everyone. The sky’s the limit guy, everybody. What I mean is, let’s strap him to a rocket and shoot him into the sun.
