![]() Backstage at the Tonight Show: From Johnny Carson to Jay Leno $16.95 Don nails the behind the scenes drama of his 20 years working on the most successful talk show in history. Remember that in the 70's and 80's there were only three major TV stations, so the power of Johnny Carson in those days was enormous compared to the diluted ratings of today's unlimited channels. Being a musician and communications major myself, I found Don's insight to be hilarious and informative. Things I never knew about Johnny Carson, Buddy Rich, and Frank Sinatra. If you want an honest portrait of the backstage aspect of the most successful tv show in history from a true insider's point of view, this book is it. Highly recommended! ![]() My Classic Car: Jay Leno - Certified Car Nut $14.99 My husband and I both like to go to car shows. We really enjoy the old cars; they're so interesting, unique and fascinating. Jay has a vast knowledge of all of his automobiles and presents them well. He goes into details about each one. It's really a great DVD and lots of fun to watch. He even takes some of the cars out of his garage and drives them around for a while. It's quite a sight to see them on the highway. I think people will really be surprised when they watch it. ![]() Headlines IV: The Next Generation $6.99 A funny book, typical of Jay Leno. Some of these headlines are typos (Ada Kring, 67-year old Orick resident, dies at age 94), some are simply indications of how strange the world we live in is (Arsonist elected fire department chief), and still others would only be minorly odd were it not for Leno's chirping from the peanut gallery (Condoms only work if used, study finds) (to which Leno's comment was, "Oh, sure, but who wants a used condom?"). Then again, some fit two or more of the above categories (Store clerk better after being shot) which is an odd enough phraseology on its own, but becomes even more bizarre when Leno chips in "I think if we knifed him, he might feel even better still."If you like your humor sophisticated and mature, this book is not for you. But if you enjoy a bit of unreserved silliness with your humor, and appreciate plays on words, this book is good for more than a few chuckles. ![]() Leading with My Chin $23.95 This book was very enjoyable and funny. It's a great read for anyone looking to relax and forget about their problems. |
