f**king Leno, if there's one person I hate just as much as him on television, it's gotta be George Lopez

If you really believe that "There was no more captivating story to unfold on TV this year than the shakeup at 'The Tonight Show.' " you must lead sad, pathetic lives.

Basically I use the entire Leno/O'Brian debacle to illustrate the difference between ignorance and apathy: "I don't know" and "I don't care"

For most of his viewers, that would be "Wow...seeing Conan! I forgot what he looked like!" since it has been so long since they have bothered watching.
