Leno Shows Love to Detroit (not Boston) with Comedy Stimulus Plan

Jay Leno, Andover High and Emerson College grad, recently put on several successful free shows in economically troubled Detroit, calling it Jay's Comedy Stimulus Plan. We feel for the automakers (the actual automakers, not the execs who got them into this spot), but where's the love for your native state, Jay? Massachusetts is at about 8% unemployment, perhaps paltry compared to Michigan's 12%, but it's still not all roses in the Bay State. Is Jay mad at WHDH for their decision not to air his new show, or is it just not bad enough in Boston for him to care about us? It's time for other Emerson funnymen to step up to the plate. Denis Leary can fulfill his mission of alienating everyone by planning a recession show and then charging for it. Or maybe Detroit can save the auto industry by implementing some of Steven Wright's genius automotive ideas: "I replaced the headlights in my car with strobe lights, so it looks like I'm the only one moving," or "I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone."
