Leno and David Letterman used to write Walker's jokes for "Good Times." And now Walker is ripping into Leno in his memoir.

How many Leno horror stories do people need to hear before they wise up and stop tuning into a show he literally stole - TWICE? I can't understand how anybody tolerates Leno. This goes from the highest of the powers that be right down to the guy sweeping the floor. Probably the most two-faced guy ever in show business. Whether or not you find him "funny" or a good host is irrelevant. My upbringing has taught me to ignore and stay away from people who stab everyone in the back for their own gain.

Leno's always been a scumbag. I was always a David Letterman guy but he became a "mean sore old man" when got his own show on CBS after not getting The Tonight Show. I don't care for either guy now but Leno's just a lowlife for all the thing's Jimmy Walker talked about and other thing's.

Jimmie was here in NY for a book signing and I couldn't go. I gotta get that book.
