David Sprouse's Reviews > The Late Shift: Letterman, Leno & the Network Battle for the Night

The too wild to be anything but true story of Jay Leno's ascension to the Tonight Show throne. Late Shift dishes the inside dirt on Leno, Letterman, and Carson. Mostly Leno and his hell for leather manager, Helen Kushniak. When Carson announced his retirement in 1992 NBC already had a plan to replace him with Jay Leno, not bothering to tell David Letterman. This would start a chain of events that would change late night TV forever. The fight would escalate pitting star VS. star and network against network.
