This story makes me wonder whether
Jay Leno is riddled with guilt over making fun of people on The Tonight Show. When he compared Dick Cheney's
hunting accident to a shooting outside a Los Angeles courthouse, he received a letter of complaint from a friend of the
L.A. victim. In response, Leno personally phoned the woman and offered her an apology, saying that he never meant to
hurt anybody. Leno also apologized to a distant relative of the doctor who set John Wilkes Booth's leg after he shot
President Abraham Lincoln. He said he made a mistake in the joke. The guy said he never complained to Leno, because he
knows it's just a joke and didn't take any offense. But, he appreciated the call anyway.Weird, eh? Maybe that explains why he kisses his guests' asses-- 'cuz he feels guilty for making fun of them.

Funny about the John Wilkes Booth thing, though. Carson himself had a long running bit where he would periodically toss in a Lincoln joke. The audience would sit silently, or boo, and then he'd look at them and say, "Still too soon, huh?"
Apparently he was right.

Leno should be apologizing for not being funny. His stuff is so safe I can't watch it anymore.
