THE READERS' POST for Thursday, December 28: Jay says he'll "take ambition over genius any day of the week"--but you don't have to talk about that

Over the years, the press has generally favored Letterman, critically anointing him as the heir to Johnny Carson. Leno, meanwhile, has taken a more populist approach, telling TV Guide that he takes "a certain perverse pleasure" in knowing he works more weeks a year than Letterman, makes less money and turns out a more profitable show. "I'll take ambition over genius any day of the week," he said.

In fairness, this maybe makes Leno sound worse than it should. He's actually responding to persistent reports that the ratings gap between him and his onetime friend gnaws at Letterman:

"You'd think after all this time it would be, 'Oh, well, he's successful, I'm successful, everybody is rich beyond their wildest dreams.' I don't know why there has to be such animosity. It just seems odd to me," Leno told TV Guide.

Anyway, this space is for you to talk--to us or among yourselves--about whatever is on your mind. READERS' POST Roundup on Saturday. (New POST on Sunday?)
