I agree, and it applies across the board. I could be wrong, but it seems like Jon Stewart is the only guy who is allowed to book just the guests he gives a sh*t about. Leno was at his best on camera during the writer's strike, when he didn't have to talk to anybody about their movies. It is obvious Leno isn't a movie-watcher and has nothing to say about anybody's movies that isn't written on a card in his hand. Letterman's writer as least try to get anecdotes from moviestars... I'll tune out as son as they shift gears, commonly as the laughter dies down and Letterman asks something like, "Now, you play a serial killer in your new movie, right?" Practically gone are the days when celebrities appeared on talk shows with nothing to promote. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
