Why is he so resistant to having guest hosts? God knows a lot of viewers wouldn't mind the change once in a while.
Bonnie Hunt was one of the guest hosts when Letterman had shingles, and she ended up with her own show. Elvis Costello did pretty well too, now he has Spectacle.
Carson used to nurture talent, and was never diminished by the success of others. Leno holds onto his territory like a wild animal.
The man makes more than anyone in Hollywood, and doesn't even spend it. Someday he's going to have to evolve into something more than his patented "homely stand-up comic who got lucky" act. And time is running out.
@unclevanya: Yeah, but Carson was... Carson. Leno is...not.
NBC should do like the Cubs did years back when Harry Carry was sick (or dead?) for a season--they just had every random big-name Cubs fan around come in and do play-by-play for a game. Bill Murray, all those guys. A different Tonight Show host every night would be kind of awesome.
@MrInBetween: He always claims that he doesn't touch his Tonight Show money, and only lives off his stand-up money. He says he still makes dozens of appearances every year. Not sure where he makes these magical appearances, as it doesn't seem to make the press much.
@unclevanya: Wow, I didn't know that. He must have $300 mil in the bank... Well, I know he plays Vegas and AC all the time. You don't hear about the shows because they are painfully unfunny.
Leno has an In-N-Out triple-cheeseburger lodged in a hard-to-reach region. No worries -- he will be back on the air tomorrow night! By the way, he will remain on the air for another 75 years and will outlive every human born in the 20th century.
He couldn't find his funny bone. It's fine though - the doctors explained that he lost it in the mid 80s or so and he can live a long and productive life on network television without it. He'll be OK.

My Catholic high school had rumors of Ouija-board-using students crossing over into satan's service, or some such nonsense. I recall a few kids who actually believed that they could summon demons.
