As Krusty said to Gabbo, "If this is anyone but Steve Allen, you're
stealing my bit!"

Watching Conan Tonight #2, the difference between Conan's remotes and
Leno's Jaywalking remotes struck me - Leno was (as pointed out above)
looking to make people look like fools for the sake of comedy.  Conan,
conversely, isn't above letting other people make HIM look foolish for
the sake of comedy.  And Conan comes away better for it.

M-D
Come to think of it, has Leno EVER done self-deprecating humor?
