Talking with Tim

While I am not annoyed that the writer’s strike has ended, I am annoyed that Jay Leno’s writing staff will be returning. Why? Well, for starters, they are not funny. And yet, for reasons that escape me, Leno always beats Letterman in the ratings (he even beat Letterman when Leno had no writers). I understand that Letterman’s humor rubs some folks the wrong way, but Leno’s comedy is just uninspired vanilla. It has never clicked with me and I just get annoyed that Letterman comes in second to Leno. I understand that Letterman’s never in any risk of being canceled by CBS, but my comedic sense of justice feels wronged that Letterman never wins the late night ratings contest.
