I'm pretty sure that his last appearance on the Late Show was a guest hosting appearance in 2000, not long after his final HBO special. I seem to recall that he bombed pretty badly that night. And he never appeared on Leno's Tonight Show. I suspect that was because David and Joan Rivers were touring partners when Jay took over, and Jay famously never had Joan on (because of Joan's feud with Debbie Vickers - not because of Jay's loyalty to Johnny, as has often been charged). My friend Michael Dale wrote this on his Facebook status last night: "To honor the passing of the great David Brenner, I'm going to ride the subway tomorrow sitting on a newspaper opened to his obituary. Then, after a minute, I'll get up, turn the page, and sit back down on it." -Tim -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
