"The Late Shift: Letterman, Leno,
and the Network Battle for the Night," is Carter's take on what transpired to get
Leno on "Tonight" and Letterman on the "Late Show." Your chance
to look at the business of late night entertainment. |
 |
Written in 1996, "Leading with My
Chin" is Leno's recount on "many of the ridiculous steps (and missteps) that
have led him on what may be the unlikeliest of paths -- from college campuses to Carnegie
Hall to Las Vegas and finally, to The Tonight Show." |
 |
Same as the book above, but read by the author
himself. Great for the drive home. |
 |
"The World of Jay Leno: His Humor
and His Life," is Bill Adler's 215 page, 1992 recount of Leno's childhood and career
to date. |
| Jay Leno's
"Headlines: Book I, II, III" |
A collection of Leno's first three
"Headlines" books. "Headlines," as featured every Monday on The
Tonight Show, showcases real but ridiculous headlines from daily newspapers. |
| "More
Headlines" |
"More Headlines," is Book II of
Leno's series of 4 "Headlines" books. This book is included in
"Headlines: Book I, II, III." |
"Headlines
III" |
"Headlines III: Not the Movie, Still
the Book," is Book III of Leno's series of 4 "Headlines"
books. This book is included in "Headlines: Book I, II, III." |
 |
"Headlines IV: The Next
Generation," is the fourth and last of Leno's series of 4 "Headlines"
books. Obviously, this is the only book not included in "Headlines: Book
I, II, III." |
 |
Enough "Headlines"? The police
receive their fair share of odd, ridiculous requests and news. Read all about these
in Leno's "Police Blotter." |
 |
"The Late Night with David Letterman Book
of Top Ten Lists" is Letterman's first book of Top Ten Lists. Enjoy 175 of his
most outrageous and funniest. This 1990 book spent 13 weeks on the New York

successful, why not put out a second one a year later and call it "An Altogether New
Book of Top Ten Lists"? 169 new Top Ten Lists. |

the "Late Show." "David Letterman's Book of Top Ten Lists and Zesty

was so successful, why not put out a second one a year later and call it "David

Bride"? 160 new Top Ten Lists from the "Late Show." |
