Jay Leno on cancel culture: 'You either change with the times or you die'
Fox News
The 71-year-old former “Tonight Show” icon spoke up about the movement which has resulted in performers losing gigs, endorsement deals, and even fans for jokes that have been deemed too offensive by the public.
He suggested he doesn't stress about the idea of getting canceled. Instead of cracking one-liners carelessly and seeing where laughs land, the star of the upcoming "You Bet Your Life" revival said he's simply tweaked his approach. "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 in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times.
