You Make Us Proud Jimmy Fallon - White Men Can Dance

      I'm going to be honest with you. Prior to Jimmy Fallon being designated as Jay Leno's replacement on The Tonight Show, I had very little knowledge of him. His hour of entertainment was just a little bit too late for me to watch and still be up at 5:30 a.m. when my five rescue dogs wake me up to go to dog park.  Now, with the earlier scheduling, I've become a fan. Jimmy Fallon is incredibly multi-talented! When I was getting into stand up comedy, my mother once told me - "You should learn to dance, sing, tell jokes and develop as many talents as you possibly can." That's how it was in my parents' olden days - it was called vaudeville. Nowadays, I don't see comics doing that. Watching The Tonight Show, I am stunned and amazed by a talent that does it all - often out-singing and out-dancing the stars themselves.Jimmy you make us proud!

      And by the way, thanks for listening to my mom.

Comedy and a Study in Evisceration: The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Watching the last Tonight Show and I saw a man in pain.  It reminds me of how cruel the comedy business can be no matter what level of success your talent has reached.  To put it quite plainly, Jay Leno had his guts ripped out.  The Tonight Show was his baby and his life and I watched NBC grab it right out of his arms with no apparent remorse.  His mission was to smile and accept it. Considering the magnitude of the moment, he did the very best he could.

Being a comedian myself, I've seen this occur repeatedly to many comedy careers but not quite at the same level.  Many comedians experience the disappointment of not getting a gig, a show or a week's booking.  It all hurts.  Some comics make it to a prominent level in show business at a young age and never regain that status.  Careers can take a roller coaster path of perpetually heading down.  Comedians reaching retirement age wince as they realize how "old" they have grown in comedy clubs.  A cut in pay usually triggers this realization.  Again, it all hurts.

When I listened to Jay reflecting on how many awesome and famous people he had met and engaged with, I realized how short my list of accomplishments was in comparison.  I was aghast that he was retiring and I am not even making a dent in such a huge arsenal of success.

And then I remembered.  Life is a matter of choices.  What Jay Leno doesn't have is my three beautiful children who are my own reason for living.  When it came time to make a choice as a young woman between career ambitions and family, I chose the latter.  I've never had any regrets.  I am the richest person I know and not even NBC can take that away from me.

Leno's Name is Wiped from the Building
