    [synopsis] => 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, The Late Shift is a vivid account of the fight that ensued, as stars, agents, and executives maneuvered for control of the most profitable program in TV history.
