Much like how Jay Leno subbed for Carson before taking over the Tonight Show desk so to is Wasp a popular substitute for the old host taking over the Friday Show desk. Unlike Leno though she promises to be funny. Do stay tuned though for another PTer to get angry over losing the Friday Desk and starting a rival PT on Fridays with another network thus starting the First Friday Wars and becoming the Letterman to my Leno. (I know too much about the history of Late Night ok?)
