Agreed. And it doesn't have to be real AND sad. When Jon Stewart had on a crossword puzzle editor, you could tell how much he loved crosswords. When Letterman first told the story of a bear breaking into his home, you could see the childlike glee with which he shared this odd experience. Watching Jay Leno's YouTube channel and seeing him talk passionately about cars is infinitely better than he ever was as a Tonight Show host. Watching Johnny Carson genuinely elated when a new comic had a killer debut set on his Tonight Show, you could see the sparkle in his eyes and know that comic was gonna be a star.
There is too much pretense in the business today. I'm not even sure Jimmy Fallon knows who he really is, let alone be able to be as open about his life as Kimmel was yesterday.
