I like Jay Leno but he had no business having the authority to pick his successor years ago. Johnny Carson had little or no sayso in picking his successor…why was Leno? Most people didn’t like Conan O’Brien. The only one who liked Conan was Jay Leno. Leno had no crystal ball to tell him what O’Brien’s popularity would be like today. That’s why this whole mess belongs right in Leno’s lap!
