Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" (1962)'s previous host, Johnny Carson, never once appeared on successor Jay Leno's show. Carson did, however, appear twice on rival late night talk show "Late Show with David Letterman" (1993) (in a walk-on appearance soon after Letterman's show debuted, and later in a filmed sketch). In the years following Carson's "Tonight Show" retirement, he reportedly contributed jokes to Letterman's monologues from time to time. more

Simply the Best, 1 August 2001
Author: Richard J. Maher (maherri) from Napa, California

"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" is the funniest program on television. You simply can't beat him, he is the primary reason NBC is "Americas Late Night Leader" :-) I don't like the "new" set as much as the older one, but I think I can get used to it. If you haven't watched it, I suggest you do, it is an hour full of laughs.
