Interesting! Some people crave power more than others but I didn’t think that of Leno. And I actually miss Jonny Carson. He was a funny guy I just enjoyed watching.
Oh, Leno is famous for his conniving. Remember he also connived to remain on the Tonight Show after his contract was up. He does have a nice guy persona on tv, of course - unlike Letterman. Years ago, I saw Leno’s act and he was fantastic. He works clean.
