1. What do people see in him?
I'd put him in the same catagory as .....Ed Macmahon - sans the Publisher's Clearinghouse sweepstakes.

Lame beyond words.

2. I never understood it, myself.
Never thought Leno was funny. I always thought he made Henny Youngman seem 'cutting edge.' I'd rather see Don Rickles -- at least Rickles writes a new joke once in a while.

3. Yeah -
I prefer Buddy Hacket also. Or even Don Knotts.

4. I think he's funny.
And I've never really enjoyed David Letterman.

6. Don't watch Letterman either
Never did. Now for real laughs I used to watch the Rev Bob Tillman back when he had a televised evangelist show coming out of Dallas. Loved to watch him talk in tongues.
....but regarding latenight hosts - Maybe the old Steve Allen show when he hosted Tonight.

Most of that stuff just is not appealing to me. Neither funny or interesting.
Too sterile, purile, or just stupid.

I am the sort of person who looks at the images with the sound turned off...while I practice guitar or mandolin.

7. So, there we go... an obviously otherwise intelligent strong woman

who disagrees with us, perhaps in reality, perhaps as a provocatuer, but there it is.

Is there room for Coke AND Pepsi? Letterman AND Leno?


I suppose there is.

Good for you SOteric... Merry Christmas.
