This thread leads me to an alternate universe question: what happens if Jay Leno never crosses paths with The Tonight Show? I don't mean Dave gets it instead of Jay in 1992: I mean Jay never guest hosts; is never connected to the program. How does that 80s/early 90s Leno, who (I'd assume) stay out on tour for forever and a day, play out? Does Jay become as much of a household name? Does he become a comic's comic, never getting the public praise?
