In contrast, Jay Leno is praised for his ability to connect with a wide range of viewers, making humor accessible and enjoyable. The piece argues that Oliver's approach is more about lecturing than genuinely engaging with audiences, leading to a perception that he is out of touch with broader comedic sensibilities.
