I would really like to know the answer to that, and if it is affirmative, I would like to try to find a recent appearance on the Youtube to compare how Leno deals with him and Dave. My hypothesis is that interviewing Brian Williams is a good indicator of the different ways Dave and Leno approach their shows (and why I much prefer Dave). Not that you have to be a Late Show Host Genius to look good interviewing Williams - in terms of easy, affable and witty articulateness he is in the league of Bob Costas and the young Dave Letterman himself. Stewart of course always has a great time with him, and one of the few times I have really enjoyed Fallon has been when he had Williams on. I am not even saying Leno would do a terrible job interviewing him, just that I doubt it would be as free flowing, as spontaneous, as, well, smart, as it was with Dave earlier this week. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
