I agree with this part of your assessment. When I watched Leno doing stand-up and, in general, when I watch him off the Tonight Show, I have a feeling he's tired of being a talk show host and just wants to make people laugh.
Then again, I think Fallon's show is also getting bland very quickly. No controversy. No sharpness.
