I'm the furthest thing from a Leno fan, but I actually don't hate this decision. Leno's strength is (or, at least, used to be) his crowd work, which makes him a decent fit for the YBYL format. Would I rather see someone who's a more Groucho-esque type, like maybe John Mulaney, or even someone like Jon Stewart? Sure. But I don't hate this choice as much as I thought I would.
