He really isn't most of the time. He had Jon on his show last October talking about the new album:

But he has certainly been known to rake Bon Jovi over the coals - especially after the 2007 Prudential shows:
As for Bon Jovi, majorly dissapointed to say the least. I have
followed this bands history since the beginning, from opening act to
38 Special, to one of the biggest bands on the planet. I always had a
huge respect for the group, and as a Jersey guy myself, always liked
how proud they were to be a NJ band. Obviously they were never a
metal band, but they were a high energy semi hard rock group at one
time, and Jon was one of the best frontmen out there. Lets not forget
Jon is the guy that gave us Cinderella and Skid Row and spawned the
entire pop metal 80's scene! Something he wants no part of now
clearly. And that's fine because Bon Jovi is the only band from the
era and scene that has a MAJOR career now, so I get it. But what I do
not get is how Jon Bon Jovi has gone from being one of the great
frontmen in rock, to a guy that looks like he's going through the
motions on stage? This guy RULED the stage at one time, now he just
struts, smiles and poses here and there. Steven Tyler has 15 years on
him and works circles around him on stage. Bon Jovi these days barely
resembles a rock act, and Jon is clearly trying to be the next
Springsteen, but still doesn't work on stage as hard as Bruce does
now. He's even building his own E Street band with extra backing
musicians on stage. It's now an 8 member band live, with a female
fiddle player who played on almost the entire set. She even put
fiddle in some of the old school rocking stuff! Even that stuff was
diluted and had no real energy or edge. This is sad beyond belief and
even more shocking is that Jon never gets called on it! Look at the
explosive rock act this was in the 80's compared to what they have
become.
