But most of those people came across as petty as shit. here is what I got from the article:

Leno works much harder than anyone in the business, rarely taking vacations
Most people felt these positions are handed to someone and you cannot fight for that position
Leno got better ratings than any of them, but they are all better than him

Seriously, this came across like some college football poll where everyone is trying to tear down number one.

I can't say this doesn't surprise me, when you see all the nepotism in Hollywood. Of course they adopt the philosophy that the hardest working, best person for the job should not get it. Their friend/family member should. Sounds a bit like one of the political parties.
