WI: The Tonight Show with David Letterman

What if it had been Letterman rather than Leno that succeeded Johnny Carson as the host of the Tonight Show? Letterman was Carson's preferred successor, and the relationship between Letterman and Leno following the latter's succession to host has forever since been volatile.
 
Well Leno maybe gets to take over Dave's old Late Night show so you'll see Dave go on at 11:30 and Leno right after him. Another interesting thing would be Letterman doing his show from Hollywood and Leno from New York. How would Hollywood influence Dave's comedy?

The Tonight Show was originally broadcast from New York and moved to Burbank in 1972. There's no reason I can think of to not move it back to New York for Letterman.

Then you'd have The Late Show with Jay Leno. :D
