I
don't remember who originally said "When something works, don't change
it". It makes a lot of sense to me, and I have observed that rule as
much as I could, especially when this something is in any way remotely
to do with technology. Jay Leno, the veteran host of 'The 'Tonight Show'
did change in 2009, or forced to, quitting it after 17 years, leaving
room for the younger Conen O'Brien.
He returned 3 months later, on different time slot; but everything else was the same. The same format, same jokes, same band. The only difference was, it's worst. It's boring. On his insistence, the table for the interview in the past had been removed (was that the innovation?), giving the impression of improvisation and discomfort for both himself and his 1st guest Jerry Seinfeld.
Kanye West saved the show. Leno asked him what his mother would have been thinking about his bad manners - his mother died in 2007 on the operation table when she was undergoing a cosmetic surgery - West stayed silent for longer than the TV screen could bear, then broke down and cried. That saved Leno's 1st come-back show.
