Leno Prevails

On his first day back to work on the Tonight Show, Jay Leno stomped rival David Letterman with an audience 45% bigger than Late Night.

I'm not at all surprised. The lovely bunny and I were discussing it last night and its really a simple equation--we like Jay Leno, we don't like David Letterman.

Ironically, I gather that insight from Oprah, who we DVR'd because Jerry Seinfeld was a guest. He introduced the Tom Pappas, the host of "The Marriage Ref", as a guy who was impossible to dislike. I'd have to agree--there is just something genial about the Seinfelds, Pappas and Lenos of the world--guy you don't mind dropping in for a visit.

Who knew that being unobjectionable could be the ticket to success? Oh, and being funny too.
