The Late Shift - Jay Leno or David Letterman

 THE LATE SHIFT 1996

The story begins in 1991. Johnny Carson who has hosted The Tonight Show on NBS since 1962 is on his way out. Jay Leno is his permanent guest-host and looks ready to take over. David Letterman, hosting Late Night on NBS for the last ten years, is Carson's own choice to take over. This is not exactly a Jay versus David situation, rather some corporate dirty games played out between top executives of various networks. CBS eyes David and offers him a great deal after NBS chooses Leno to take over. ABC and Fox throw their hats in the ring too. Kathy Bates, who plays Helen Kushnick, Jay's mercurial manager, steals the show with her wild performance. But both the actors who play David and Jay respectively have done great jobs. This is a very absorbing TV Movie. They should make more like these!
