When Johnny Carson retired from The Tonight Show in 1992, both wanted the throne. There's a book called The Late Shift chronicling it, and it became an interesting yet cheesy HBO film.
It goes back to when Leno "stole" the Tonight Show on Carson's retirement, which "everyone" had assumed would go to Letterman. Letterman had been Carson's preference.
There's a whole book about it.
