I always thought that they should have retired the Tonight Show when Carson left. Jay seems like a nice guy but it was never the same. Then again Johnny had the classic Hollywood stars to interview instead of the current Hollywood cesspool dwellers.

He was on a first class flight from DC to LA that daughter and I were on in coach. But he was very nice to people in the main Dulles/United waiting area before the flight boarded.

I wasn’t a big fan of Letterman, but my wife is. We went to see his show in NYC. I was surprised at how funny he was off camera. Then the show starts, and blah....

Go figure.

I've seen Letterman live, too.

He does his own crowd warm up, and is actually rather gracious.

Then the cameras start rolling and he becomes that bitter unfunny old man, STILL telling Bush and Palin jokes.

Stale, Dave, STALE.

Ironically, he'll probably beat Fallon, though.

I just don't see the Tonight Show making it a success with that guy.

I never thought Fallon was very funny on SNL.

Lopez was the guy who accepted a kidney from his wife and then divorced her.
