Why? It would only prove that Leno is funnier. And he is. Is it Leno's obligaiton to prop Fallon AFTER he leaves NBC? I don't think so.
I was at Leno's performance in Vegas a few years ago. One hour. I could not speak for two hours after that because my jaws were hurting from laughing. He is that funny, naturally. He knows how to make people laugh out loud; not smirk or cackle from a sarcastic remark, but laugh. I saw all episodes of "Comedians in Cars Having Coffee" with Seinfeld. I found Leno's episode the most hilarious of all and there were some seriously funny people in there.
I like Fallon. Everybody likes Fallon, because he is adorable and young. But he does not have Leno's sense of humour nor Letterman's quick wit/meanness. His shows are for the most part too sweet. Can he sustain bankable interest in the show based only on the Tweeter generation's viewership? Will see.
