Letterman vs. Leno

Leno has funny material. Letterman is a funny person. That is the basic difference. Watching Leno you leave with the feeling...those are funny jokes. Watching Letterman you think...that's a funny guy.

By the way if you saw Letterman and Oprah last night you know Letterman does not do 'serious' very well. He should stick with funny. Case in point - I saw a stat somewhere showing that Letterman gives huge amounts of money to political causes. The odd thing is he gives almost equally to liberal and conservative causes. He referenced his inferiority to Leno several times last night just to further make the case that he's not a guy that takes himself too seriously. Never mind that he also called last night's show 'the television event of the decade'.

Oh, and by the way. Oprah did a great Calyn imitation last night. If you didn't catch it I've got the video. I may post it sometime if anybody's interested.
