Of course, we all know David Letterman as the former host of The Tonight Show, which he took over from Johnny Carson in 1992, winning the so-called "Tonight Show War" against Jay Leno. Letterman is probably one of the best known national treasures currently alive in the United States, surely among the best-known talk show hosts in our history. What if Letterman didn't get the Tonight Show, and it went to Leno? Would he stay at Late Night, go to another big network, go into syndication?
