As much as I was rooting for him at the time-I think because I thought he was Johnny’s choice-it has turned out to be a very good thing that what Dave has become did not sully The Tonight Show.
Now, not that those who did follow Johnny were or are worthy of carrying his jock, but, the vindictive mean-spiritedness of this ogre didn’t belong there.
Carson and Hope-rest their souls-its not like we didn’t know what their politics were, but, they skewered everybody fairly equally and usually in good taste. Those days are gone.
The Tonight Show has different writers.
