As it happens, I was at Leno's comedy haunt in Hermosa Beach (The Comedy & Magic Club) on Sunday night for a musical showcase in the lounge and was leaving the venue about an hour before Jay went on. He was on his way in and we exchanged friendly nods. Although never a fan of his work on The Tonight Show, I always appreciated his stand-up work away from TV and thoroughly enjoyed the three one-on-ones we've had in the past - one was an interview and two were purely social, He always struck me as a good guy, while Mavis, present on all three occasions, was a pleasure to be around -- kind, clever and a little snarky. It never surprised me that she had a social conscience and did something to make the world a better place. Glad he's lending his support as well.
