I believe he is still capable of doing good stand-up. As a talk show host, he is lame. And a back-stabber.
The demographic that enjoys Leno on The Tonight Show are getting old, and NBC should be looking at the younger audience.

Fallon is a great guy for this generation of talk show audiences. And Leno picking up a talk show somewhere else after leaving the Tonight Show would just show that he's a two-faced hack. He's acting quite chummy with Fallon right now, seemingly letting Fallon take over so amicably. If he went and got another show in a similar time slot, it would just be very backstabby, showing that he doesn't care for Jimmy in the least bit. Maybe it's all fair in TV land, but in terms of real life, it would not be cool, especially given his history with Conan.
On a different note, Colbert did an interview with ##### Riot the other day. They were pretty neat guests to have. Loved how defiant they were against Putin. I found their belligerent anti-establishmentarianism pretty hot!
