About the author

James Douglas Muir "Jay" Leno is an Emmy Award-winning American stand-up comedian and television host who succeeded Johnny Carson as host of "The Tonight Show" on May 25, 1992. He hosted the show until May 29, 2009 when, despite his high ratings, he was replaced by Conan O'Brien. The poor ratings which Conan O'Brien received as host of "The Tonight Show" resulted in NBC bringing Leno back as host on March 1, 2010. He continued to host the show to critical and popular acclaim. In 2013, despite still having the highest late night television ratings, NBC decided to replace Leno with Jimmy Fallon as host. Leno's final show aired on February 6, 2014.

This is exactly what you think it is. It was my favorite portion of "The Tonight Show" back in the day.

[Nathan Forester · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lot of the headlines are so stupid that you won't believe they are real.

[Mike (the Paladin) · Rating 2 out of 5]

I always enjoyed this segment of the Tonight Show 9though I haven't really been able to get into Leno's new "prime time program". I watched it a time or two..haven't watched it since. And, to be completely honest, I didn't get through the entire program.

Anyway, The humor of "Headlines" somehow didn't transfer over well to the printed format. There are a few chuckles, but not a great many. I don't plan to keep the book.

Sorry Jay.
