I think that is reasonable - and I would not be critical of Leno if that was his rationale. Dave has in some ways taken the place of Walter Cronkite for CBS - on matters of broad national importance he makes a space on his broadcast and speaks for himself and from the heart, but also in a way is the voice of the network. If that is even a little bit true in Dave's case (and I guess it is a bit of a stretch), it is not even a little bit true for Leno and NBC, who has Brian Williams, and still, I guess in some capacity, Tom Brokow. Leno is seen at being good at some things, but this is not really one of them, and given that NBC had both the SNL tribute and the thing on The Voice, the feeling may well have been that the network had sufficiently addressed it. -- TV or Not TV ....
