LENO, born James Douglas Muir Leno in New Rochelle New Yorkin 1950, captured
Johnny Carson's seat as host of The Tonight Show, besting rival David Letterman.
Ironically, Leno had made a record number of visits to Late Night With David Letterman as
well as serving as Carson's permanent guest host. Although Leno's earlier shows consistently
lost to Letterman in the ratings race, The Tonight Show won an Emmy in 1995 and surged
ahead in 1996. After some juggling of formats and time slots, he returned to The Tonight
Show in 2010. Leno owns an extraordinary collection of nearly 100 automobiles and 90
motorcycles. JOHN RAITT began drawing portraits of famous people while attending
college in the 1930s. He sent his artwork to each subject with a request that it be autographed
and returned to him. Two horizontal folds. Otherwise, fine condition.
