This "gripping"
New York Times bestseller from the host of CNN podcast
Behind the Desk tells the true story-and backstage drama-of late-night comedy (
Los Angeles Times).
When beloved host Johnny Carson announced his retirement after thirty years on
The Tonight Show, millions of Americans mourned. But inside the television industry, the news ignited a battle between two amazing talents-Jay Leno and David Letterman-who both yearned to occupy the departing legend's chair. For NBC, it would be a decision with millions of dollars at stake. Soon these two comedians with strikingly different styles, who had once shared a friendship as they worked the clubs together, would be engaged in a fierce competition for the prize.
Based on in-depth reporting and interviews with those involved, and updated with a new introduction by the author-a producer of CNN series
The Story of Late Night-
The Late Shift is a "vivid, behind-the-scenes, blow-by-blow account" of the fight that ensued, as stars, agents, and executives maneuvered for control of the most profitable program in TV history (
Chicago Tribune).
"Remarkably gripping ... Takes us deep into the bizarre high-stakes world of broadcasting ... A powerful story, and ultimately a sad one, filled with casualties as well as winners." -
The New York Times Book Review
"Solid reporting, based on extensive interviews with the principals, lifts
The Late Shift into a class of its own. ... The insights into the people involved are what make [the book] a page-turner." -
