Jay Leno is happy standing in the middle of the aisle as far as political humor goes. During a recent conversation with David Trulio for The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, the former late-night host spoke about some of the risks that can come with mixing politics and comedy.

The former 'Tonight Show' host took aim at partisan late-night shows in a recent interview: "Why shoot for just half an audience?"

Jay Leno has slammed other late-night hosts for alienating half of their viewers, following CBS's cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
