Walker, Jay (Jay William)
The Leno wit: his life and humor - New York William Morrow & Co. 1997 - 257 p
Leno's life story is here, from his days as a class down to his rough early years performing at strip clubs to his mainstream success in the eighties. Walker portrays a man who is driven by his love of comedy, who stays up late every night before his next show, fine-tuning jokes and reworking the wording until is perfect. But there is also a familyman side to Leno, which comes out in touching anecdotes about the courtship of his wife, Mavis, his devotion to his late parents, and his love to classic cars and motorcycles.
