Fallon is not often profound, and not regularly (for me) funny, but he is a likable, nice guy. 2. Leno may have had more viewers than Dave nationwide over the years, but Dave is, without doubt, the iconic touchstone of comedy over the last three decades. He did not preside over the single avenue to fame for comics that Carson did, but probably more so than Carson, his voice and attitude influenced several generations of comics. I doubt there are many comics over 30 would not cite Dave as a major influence, while relatively few would cite Leno. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
