    I actually worked a whole day twice @ work, with a power outage! I was working weekends alone in a huge office. I had only two dim lights on either sides of the basement to work by, that ran off the generator. The computer was down & I had to do everything on paper all day. It was spooky. One thing is I had a lot off free time and read all the booklets & printouts I could find. I learned a lot about how the place ran & eventually became a full time float for the office. Those were the best days!

    I agree! The problem is I fear that CBS allows him to be so creative with the show because they figure "no one watches anyway," so in a way I hope he doesn't get the 11:30 slot b/c if he does, CBS will try to change the creative format to make it more "11:30-friendly."

      But Leno is an experienced comic. His monologues and segments were good. I'd rather contrast this to Kimmel, Meyers, Fallon, and Colbert. Those guys can't deliver, write, or talk. Of course, Craig is multi talented and conversational. He's up there with Dick Cavette and Carson. Conan is okay sometimes too, but too shallow and predictable for my taste.
