Yeah. One of the things that's been remarked on a bit, but not maybe to the degree it deserves, is how divisive he was. Part of the reason the Leno schism thing happened is that Letterman, for all his midwestern sensibilities, couldn't keep the milquetoast midwesterners on his side the way Johnny could. I had a…

Oliver is basically doing "Funny 60 Minutes". Which is alright with me.

At first, he wouldn't let them sit on the couch. Then he wouldn't let them in the studio - they had to be interviewed from the deli. Then he wouldn't really conduct the interview himself, he'd make Biff or Monty do it.

I'm mostly just going to miss Dave, himself. At this point, he's like a family member or something and now I'm not going to be able to check in on him and see how he's doing/see if they've unplugged the machine he's connected to, yet. I could break it down into smaller parts than that, but what would be the point?

Yeah, the guy in the car appeared at the time of broadcast in 1996. It didn't happen last night. Someone's confused.

Leno has definitely left a legacy of some kind - it's just not a comedy one. It's more of a TV business legacy. Play nice with the stars, guard your throne and you'll last.

You should try social media, then.

Yeah, I stayed up until 2:30 watching old Letterman clips on YouTube. Couldn't get to sleep after that.

I also liked the belated "Congratulations" card he read to Conan on one of his last Tonight Show episodes. "You're now the host of The Tonight Show, something they can never take away from you…"

I'd say Ferguson's cold open is the greatest segment of a talk show finale ever. The Leno segments were ok, but they were a letdown after hearing "Bang Your Drum".

I thought it was appropriate that the last shot of his last show was of young Harry skiing down a hill. Because if you unpack that image in that context, it basically says this: Why would a loving father spend his time talking to Paris Hilton on TV when he could spend it playing with his son?

Oh, man, the record collection bits. I loved one where he staged an audio fight between some raging singer on one record and Fred Rogers on another.

My take is that Fallon has just found a way to reach out to our generation's version of the Leno audience: Easily pleased, looking for comfort food, not edgy, believes in celebrity, etc.

You really that interested in what these celebrities have to say?

Which is his own way of subverting the format. Instead of belittling boring guests he just uses them as props in his improv comedy.

Not with herpes, he can't.

And I'll add that, even if the worst of the allegations of sex and favoritism are true, it is in no way comparable to what Cosby is alleged to have done.

And Wonka, for all its many virtues as a film, was made specifically to launch a brand of chocolate bars. So much for the purity of 70s cinema.

Kinda like this, but Bane?

I always thought "geek" was a better term for people who are dedicated to a hobby like that. You're into Star Wars, then you're a Star Wars geek. A "nerd" was always someone with more of an academic interest, to me. Someone who read Stephen Hawking in junior high or knew the gestational cycle of sea turtles or…
