1. Author Bill Carter wrote a book called “The War for Late Night".
2. The book is about the conflict between Conan O'Brian and Jay Leno for "The Tonight Show".
3. The book shows remarkable empathy to all sides concerned, whereas a previous novel the author wrote about Jay Leno and David Letterman in 1994.

1. I thought all these guys had their own shows. Why are they all competing for the same job?
2. Is there a limit to the amount time that a late-night television host can keep his/her job for?

1. I think it's important for these types of social models to keep their business matters more private. They're all the same type of people, and I don't think they should be competing this much for a job, and the networks shouldn't have such paying discrepancies.

  1. I think celebrity affairs are too documented and followed. Too many people care of the lives of celebrities.
