Mister Phil McGraw was on David Letterman last night and asked Dave to give his true honest opinion about the Leno-O’Brien war of a few months back, and Dave didn’t hold back:
“I loved it. It was great fun,” Letterman said, delving into a squeaky Leno imitation. “I loved Jay summing things up, ‘Yeah, yeah, well [O’Brien and I] both got screwed.’ Wait a minute, Jay. You both got screwed and yet you’re the only one who ended up with a show. How did you get screwed exactly?”
McGraw said he thinks Leno got a “bum rap” for the criticism he has endured since reclaiming The Tonight Show.
“Believe me, he got everything he deserved,” Letterman said… “You can’t not love him. But then there’s also this other side of him where — and I think he would own up to it — he’s just a complete boob. He can’t help himself.”
If only Dave would give his opinion on Mister Phil next!

You know, when I was in my early teens I thought Letterman was an immature idiot and Leno was witty and a stand-up guy.
Now, though I think Letterman is probably narcissistic and a definite womanizer, I at the very least find him funny. Leno seems like a snake, not to mention his jokes are about as “on the nose” as the Countess’ awful single a few posts below.
Wow, Jay, was that really *another* gay joke? You gonna make *another* joke about Kevin smoking pot? How about a Bill Clinton joke while he’s at the height of his career?
