>From reading “The Late Shift” it was clear that Kushnick was the person most responsible for getting Jay the Tonight Show job. The cynical view would be that once Jay got what he wanted, he threw her overboard. Johnny Carson, for one, didn’t buy the line that Jay didn’t know what Kushnick was up to in the background. I thought Jay should’ve acknowledged Helen’s role in his career while he was giving out the thanks on his last show. Personally, I believe Jay is a political animal who weighs up every single thing he says to protect his brand. Gary --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
