"We hope you enjoy this clip from the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. In it, Johnny Carson inteviews his now prediscesor, David Letterman." There is no interview, just part of a standup spot. Your entire second sentence makes no sense at all. Johnny was Jay Leno's "predecessor."

Leno is a lightweight pantywaist and Letterman RULES!!! Dave has more talent in his hangnail than pussy Leno has in his whole chin.

Boooo Leno.

Yes, but it is said that Carson considered Letterman his *true* successor.

Thank you, Lava. You are right; but that still makes Johnny the "predecessor," and Dave the "spiritual successor," and there is still no interview in this clip.

Leno gets better ratings. AMERICA LOVES LENO BETTER. Letterman is a mediocre comedian.

Leno is just like McDonald's. Just because they're number one doesn't hide the fact that they completly suck.

they're both funny, why are people so divided on them?

What drives me nuts ... ( 6 months ago by 21141712)

What drives me nuts about Letterman is how he always "waits" for a laugh before moving on to the next joke. Leno is more natural, he doesn't do that. Its like Letterman is "forcing" the crowd to laugh...not a sign of a good comedian!

Comedy is about ... ( 5 months ago by foxx1525)

Comedy is about timing. Letterman knows his routine and what makes it work. The space in-between gives the audience a break to think about his next joke. That is why he has been hosting his own nighttime show for 26 years, not including the daytime show he had for a year. Leno is pure middle America. He may have high ratings, but that does not make him great. Letterman will go down in history next to Carson as the top two TV latenight show hosts of all time. Leno is not in the picture.

Carson wanted Letterman to host after he left. Leno got the job instead. Letterman moved to CBS to compete with Leno.

Letterman is a clown! He ridicules. He's not funny.
Leno on the other hand is funny but doesn't make fun of his guests like letterman.
