What ever perceived advantage Letterman's writing staff gave him over Leno, was rather impressively nullified by Jay these past couple of nights, in my opinion. What impresses me most though, and what should really be worrying the writers is that, they don't seem to be very necessary after all. Conan has done the same thing. I don't know if Letterman and Furguson could do nearly as well without writers, and the sad thing is, we will never know.
