The lady was Zsa Zsa Gabor, not Raquel Welch..

What is interesting about that is some think it was Raquel and some think it was Zsa Zsa. There are others who claim it didn't happen at all. From what I can tell there is no definitive proof as apparantly the tapes from those shows were erased. It is an urban legend? Dunno.

I've wondered that myself, but thought I was a crackpot for doing so. I've never seen anyone relate it as Welch, but have seen the anecdote countless times. However, I've never met anyone who saw it, and I've never seen it in any of the many reruns of old Carson shows I've seen. I've wondered before if it's just a fun story.

I really want to answer Garry Shandling here.

Anyway, it's Letterman for me, he does make me laugh occasionally. I find Leno painful to watch. Jonathan Ross is pretty decent if you're in the UK.

Old school: Letterman (NBC days)

Current: Conan

They are all pretty dumb [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

Letterman is better than Leno but I don't know, his schtick with Paul Schaeffer can be painfully boring. maybe I just tune in on off nights. Sometimes it's like they have nothing to say at all and they are just trying to kill time.

I skip Jay and go right to Conan. He is really goofy with his guests.

Conan, not close.

Letterman in 2nd

Headlines rules all, though.

Both Conan and Leno do something similar. Leno does the headlines, Conan does print ads he passes off as real. Sometimes they probably are, but they probably make up almost all of them. Conan's bit is as good as Leno's, but he doesn't do it near as often and he doesn't have a whole nation sending him ideas for free, like Leno does, so the bit isn't as open-ended as Leno's.

leno seems like a nice guy who is sort of corny. Conan is a goofball. Remember when he did that thing with Andy, where they looked into the future?

IN THE YEAR 2000!!!!!

Yeah, I miss Andy.

Those year 2000's are especially good with Mr. T. Conan rescued Mr. T from the dead the way Tarantino rescued Vinnie Barbarino.
