I think Jay has some pathological need to stay on the air till after
Dave quits. I read an interview with Jay last year when he was feeling
buyer’s remorse over his decision to leave the Tonight Show, and had
just announced the plan to do the 10pm show. He said that when he made
the decision back in 2004 to quit the Tonight Show in 2009 he fully
expected Dave to be retired by then. It was a really strange thing to
say, I thought, and I read it as him saying that if Dave was gone then
he could finish up himself.
