In response to "on top of what pixie said, it's more his attitude. he has a snideness I don't see in any of the other big talk show hosts, and he really sucks up " by mafic

The bottom line is that he's a hack.

(leno, that is.)

while it's commendable that he writes his own jokes, it's also a liability. you realize after a while that all of his monologues are exactly the same. he's been in a comedy rut for fifteen years.

letterman has slowed down a lot, understandably, but he was known for his innovation and just plain weirdness back in the day. there is absolutely no comparison. letterman consistently pushed the limits of what a talk show could be, and leno took the safe route for his entire career.
