I pretty much disagree with that whole statement. Except the part about Letterman not being funny. He isn't, and sarcasm can't make up for him being just flat out obnoxious. On top of that, I hate his studio audience: it's so huge, and they too often stop and give him a round of applause that lasts way too long over some innane thing he said, all because they have nothing else to do since they aren't laughing.
Leno at least has some comedic abilities (i.e. good timing and stage presence). His writers are pretty predicatble though, nothing on Leno has ever really surprised me. Then there's Conan, who is the MacDaddy of all that is Late Night.
