And Dave wonders why he did not get the Johnny Carson job? A great gag but if this was truly a gift from NBC Chief and he lampooned it this savagely, he cannot be shocked they chose Leno? And although I preferred Dave to Jay, NBC’s decision turned out the correct one. For only for a few months did Letterman ever beat Jay in the ratings over a decade period they competed against each other.
