   I read about this today. Leno and The Tonight Show go well together but I   
   don't think that necessarily means he will do as well elsewhere...think   
   Katie Curic.   
      
   I loved Letterman when he used to come on after Tonight Show. I was in   
   high school then and found his show highly entertaining whereas I found   
   Johnny Carson boring.   
      
   I think Conan is the old Letterman. But I wonder how Conan will do one   
   the Tonight Show? Will he tone down his antics?
