Anyway:
The War for Late Night: When Leno Went Early
This was written by Bill Carter, the guy who wrote The Late Shift about the war between Leno and Letterman over Carson's chair. It was really good. We all know how it ended, but it brought you inside all the rooms where the important decisions were made at NBC as well as its rivals going back to 2004 when Leno got bumped for Conan, all the way to Zucker getting the pink slip from Comcast in September. It was really interesting to see all the warring personalities at NBC, ABC and Letterman's own little island.
