Letterman vs. Leno

Life usually comes down to dichotomies... David Lee Roth vs. Sammy Haggar (DLR....duh!), U2 vs. Queen (Sorry Kent, but picking Queen is like picking a sea donkey at JD's over any girl at any other bar in town), Beatles vs. Stones, Feldman vs. Haim, Sonny vs. Cher, Tom Lukiwski vs. the Saskatchewan gay community, cowboys vs. Indians, Nazis vs. Jews, Michael Jackson vs. women (except Liz Taylor), Michael Jackson vs. males older than 11 years old, Axl vs. Slash etc...

Anyways, in the whole quasi-late-night debate, David Letterman kicks the living sh!t out of Jay Leno. Yes.. Leno gets better ratings, but George W. Bush also gpt enough votes to become president in the U.S. twice... and the first time was actually warranted by the legitimate tabulation of votes.

Leno does have a charm about him in his monologues, but his lips are firmly implanted to the brown stars of his guests. Letterman tends to have a half-assed leisurely quality to his monologues, but he thrives when interviewing guests. Normally when an actor/actress/comedian/singer/musician/political pundit/etc goes on a late night talk show,they expect the host to lob them standard "lob ball" questions" which Leno is great at. But Letterman has an innate sense of sarcasm that probably doesn't translate to the bible belt of America. He made Paris Hilton cry. He called Bill O'Reilly on his bullshit. Tom Waits and R.E.M. have only been on Letterman... not Leno...
