He sounded like he still wasn't happy with the decision, and that he basically made the change to avoid embarrassing her. (She died about a year after he took over.) I've always thought that Jay's run (and Conan's run too, for that matter) would have been more successful had they kept "Starring." "With" makes you think the show you're about to see is nothing special. "Starring" makes you think what you're about to see is The Tonight Show. -Tim
