I voted for Leno. Leno is the least funny person on the face of the Earth. He has no timing, no schtick, no nothing. He just sucks. I don't think the Tonight Show with Jay Leno is particularly funny, but it takes some serious writing talent just to keep that joker on the air. As for the other four, those guys could survive quite a while without writers - not 5 days a week for a whole season, but even when the writing's not there, they can cover. Leno does not have this ability (nor any other abilities that I am aware of).
