It puzzles me because David Letterman had his own late night show for many years following Johnny. He seemed like he was paying his dues and only made sense that he would be heir apparent on "The Tonight Show" especially since Johnny favored him over Leno. I know Jay was his Johnny's designated guest-host when he was absent, but with David having his own show in NY he couldn't do both. What gave Leno the edge?
