Good for John for not returning to the DV and punching down. It's about time he realized that. John's a skilled, professional entertainer. Why come here and deal with talentless losers?
The most important moments in John's life. The Cabbie "fight" made him feel so important and validated. His reunion solo showed his old work colleagues that he's still in the game. Owning a nice house for 15 minutes to impress Gary. These fleeting moments matter most to John.
Serious Question: Is there ANY chance that John took out the home loan to pay for rehab? Has anyone seen him in public? Kudos to him if he's finally taking action to get healthy.
An all-time favorite vid from the master himself: B&N. It captures so much of what fascinates me about John. He's pissed off about being called a Deadbeat Dad when, by definition, that's exactly what he was. Then, he's obviously butt hurt and lying, and pretending (like a child) that he's not :)
I'm not claiming this to be 100% accurate, but I bet I'm close. We know he earned decent the first three years of his Leno contract. And the divorce docs indicate he was making 180K in his last few years. Net out: his trajectory is exactly opposite that of Stern's :-)
WHUHAPPUNED? This genius earned thousands in high school, was an investment guru while at Stern, hustled gigs nonstop on weekends, flipped real estate, had constant access to celebrities and millionaires, and earned a hefty salary from the TS. So, why does he seem broke AF?
360 KARMA: On Stern, John was an engineered character with a stutter. Once stripped of Stern’s framing and Leno's writers, he's been unable to reinvent himself as a comic, writer, or broadcaster— and has now morphed into the exact target of ridicule he subjected celebs to back in the 1990s.
LMFAO: 16 years on Stern,10 years on Leno, stand up & hosting gigs, and podcasting ----and RONNIE THE LIMO DRIVER has a higher net worth, nicer home, and better current earning possibilities than John! How embarrassing for a world famous NYU grad with a Mensa IQ....
CAPE CORAL POOL COSTS ANNUALLY: DIY Maintenance (Chemicals + Electric + Repairs): $1,500 – $2,500. Pool Service Company: $2,800 – $4,500. I'm guessing John will go the DIY route....
THEORY: John wants to replicate the luxury pool experience he had on Roscoe Blvd. when he'd entertain celebrities and hobknob with the rich and famous.
