Either way, congrats to the both of em.

It's hard to believe that through all the Leno-Conan nonsense, Letterman's job was never once called into question.

You could also look at it as, through all the Leno-Conan nonsense, no one ever considered that just watching Letterman was a viable alternative.

I think he and Leno are locked in an epic struggle to see who can be less funny each night. Whoever wins we lose.

I have the same birthday as Nimoy. Also shared with Richard Dawkins, and Joseph Campbell. Whatup.

I was born on the day that Muhammad lead an army of ten thousand men to conquer Mecca.  I share my birthday with two japanese and one roman emperor.

But y'know, I'm sure all those pop culture icons you guys get are important too.  wink
