I dunno about Peter Lassaly being at ease. He seemed about as nervous as he could possibly be. But Dave pulled him though. Overall...Dave did a much better job at memorializing Johnny than Leno did. Although, I suppose, the argument could be made that he's had a week to work on it, whereas Leno did his the Monday following Johnnys death. Still, Dave put on a class act last night. And yeah...I can hear Johnny's voice delivering every one of those jokes from Dave's monologue last night. Hands in pockets, and lifting himself up on tiptoe at each and every punchline.
