“I’ve known Roseanne for 30 years,” Leno told ET Canada, which asked about her Roseanne firing over a racist tweet. “I don’t like to denigrate other comics. I mean, obviously there’s a problem there and it’s mental. I think she’s really troubled. You know, I don’t know if I feel sorry.” As for Cohen's Who Is America?, Leno says: "It just seems mean. I mean, some of those people just seem like nice people that got misled." He also clarified: "I mean, obviously he exposed some real creepy, awful people...(but) to trick them into saying (certain things), it makes some people feel empathy for them, which, to me, backfires.”
