So i guess you never heard the story of Jay Leno feeding strike information to comedy club owners back when a bunch of comedians went on strike vs a particular club.

Not until now, no. I didn't know much about the Leno / Letterman deal either, but since I don't like Letterman, I never looked into it, it was before my time. Hell, I couldn't tell you who it was that preceded Jay Leno for the Tonight Show.

Is this something most people my age (22yo) know? I have no idea, but I know more than enough now. This Conan thing got my interest, and so I read...

They made a really good movie about the Leno/Letterman thing.

Apparently Letterman was actually talented when he was on NBC and early CBS before he turned into a parody of himself.
