On Tuesday night, NBC will air a two-hour special celebrating Jimmy Fallon's 10 years as host of 'The Tonight Show.' It's a clip show, which is to say, for you younger viewers, it's like YouTube, but on TV, but you don't get to choose the videos. Strictly speaking, notwithstanding the time slot and the name, it's a 15th anniversary for Fallon, who was doing substantially the same show for five years at 12:35 a.m.
It lacked the warmth of Carson's show, where Carson, sidekick Ed McMahon and bandleader Doc Severinsen made a nice little gang. Leno, who almost never missed a day's work, essentially stood alone. But his show remained popular. With Letterman at CBS competing directly with Leno at NBC, two strains of late night were defined: the former's forward-looking, oddball approach; the latter's more controlled, old-fashioned meat and potatoes comedy.
