In the 90's, Jay Leno had a very steady run. He was number 1 over David Letterman and was Conan's lead in. Conan was the perfect compliment to the Tonight Show. To me it came to an end about 6 years ago when Leno announced that he would retire and give the show to Conan. Jay did make a mistake but should've stuck by his word more and would've gone out as the class act.
During his run he was crowned the hardest working man in show biz and I had heard critics say it was the reason for being on top at the time. Letterman's show was and pretty much and is still a lazy show.
I don't know what happened and we won't until the next autobiography by Leno Leading with my Chin... Again!
As far as Rosie O'Donnel. She is throughout her WHOLE career, an opportunist. She is what I call the Epic Fail of Opinions. Everytime she has had an opinion on a subjet, she has been burned and too many times ostracized for a while. Who's felt her pushing her opinions on? Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Tom Selek, Madonna, Donald Trump and so forth.
What I don't get is how she gets back in. She's a fucking windbag and humiliates people when they don't agree with her. Could someone just finish off Rosie?
