I am boycotting jay leno show tonight because kanye west ( X@@##! of the Year), will be appearing. Kanye is the biggest X@@##! in the world. He is a racist and an overall X@@##!. I will never spend a dime on any of his so called music, which is basically a black guy talking about himself. What an X@@##!

Jay, show some courage and integrity. Drop that megalomaniac from your show. Take a stand and solemnly state why you've done it and move on. After his most recent tantrum Kanye West should simply be ignored.

Kanye West should be dropped from the show. His disgraceful and disrespectful actions at the MTV Video Awards proves that he is someone no one needs to see. His apology rings hollow as we all know this is not his first inappropriate outburst. There is no excuse for you to have him on the show, I know I won't watch if he is there.

I don't think it's Jay's fault, I'm sure this was in the plan LONG before the mishap on MTV. I think Jay should still have him on the show on one condition, that he admits his stupidity and publicly apologize to Taylor. If Kanye doesn't use this as a platform for that, then nobody should have anything ever to say to him again. But everybody deserves a chance for apology and forgiveness, but it will be up to Taylor if she forgives his stupid ways. We are getting sick of his ego already, please be known for your artistry and not for your ignorance. But it will be a LONG time before I even consider going to buy a Kanye album again or listen to anything he has to say

Jay. I am a music entertainer who is fed up with Kanye . he only showed the world his true colors last night . you should really think twice about haveing him on your show. I have always been a great fan of yours and would really be shocked if you would even think of haveing this person on your show after what he did to a young and talented lady who deserved her chance of fame last night. please consider what people will think of you and your show if kanye appears Thank you your fan Randy Rainey in michigan

Jay, I have been anxiously waiting to see your show tonight! God, I have been sick with the flue for the last four days and was looking so much into a great time watching! Kyane West is a PUKE BAG and to be honest I've seen enough of that. He and his actions (long time running) no way relate to comedy. I wish "Pink" had of gotten on stage and smashed him in the mouth. I trust your judgement Jay, Please don't make me sick, my stomach already hurts.

Is his first show taped? If it
isn't he should leave Kanye West standing outside the stage
door after being thrown out. Anyone who did what he did at
those awards should show a low
profile but I guess Jay Leno would enjoy the controversy Kanye would bring to yet another show like his./

Your good guy Mr. Leno, funny as heck and a car guy to boot?! I'm sure your show will take off, but Kanye West as a guest?? This is a horrible human being! This is what I thought of him before the MTV video awards show last night. Have him as a guest as you want, but don't let him off the hook! I hope you can manage to relate to him that he is a rotten soul, a bigot, and someone not worthy of any air time anywhere. Please don't have him "explain" why he did what he did. He did it because he has no class. He does not like white people (like you) and his parents raised him that way. Why? Maybe you could asked him that. Oh, but that might "offend" him, huh? PLEASE, ask him that!

I am hoping you do the right thing and drop West. If you don't, I won't be turning off the tv. I want to hear what your other guest, Jay Z, has to say about West offending his wife, Beyonce, when he jumped on the stage and publicly disgraced her and in essence, professed his love for another man's wife--and not just anyone's wife, but Jay Z's wife. West will be lucky to get his face on a gum wrapper after what he did to Mrs. Beyonce "Jay Z."

I think last night's drama was staged. If anything, Kanye has helped Taylor's career dramatically. Watch the sales sky rocket. And now Beyonce appears to be a saving grace for doing the "honorable" thing. Kanye is use to being called a a-hole. It doesn't damage his already shattered image, but helps Jay-Z's label and Taylor and Beyonce's caareers and image tremendously. Think about it. This is what sells - any publicity is good publicity in this business.

Jay Leno's viewings will be impossibly high because people will tune in just to see if Kanye apologizes, if Jay actually has him on the show, etc.... Entertainers and promoters are very smart people. I thought the media was smarter.

Name callin,talkin about his Mom, Sayin he's Racist Is Real absurd.America focuses on the wrong thing. Are our Kids gettin a Good education,Are you One pf those people who can't pay your morgage? We need to focus on stuff like that.What he did to Taylor Is nothing more worst than What we as American people Are doing to ourselves Name callin he didnt belittle her he Actly helped her Do You think she was going to be on the Veiw before this?

WE HAVE TO REMEBER THAT THIS GUY JUST LOST HIS MOTHER. SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE HE IS ACTING OUT BECAUSE HE MISSES HIS MOTHER. I am not making excuses for him but it has been ten years since my mother passed away and it still affects me like it was yesterday. If you have not had this experience you would not understand how it feels so quit judging and pray for his healing.

I think it is a cry for help and everyone is ignoring it and criticizing. He just lost his mom so maybe he has not figured out how to deal with it yet. Give the man a break. He is a human and if we ignore the calls for help whos fault is it? Put yourself in his shoes, he was very close to his mom and he lost her. Not saying he was right I just think it was a cry for help.
