* AlternativeCharacterInterpetation: One bit in the book is Carter citing how outraged Carson was at a ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' skit called "Carsenio" where Creator/DanaCarvey portrayed Carson trying to emulate Creator/ArsenioHall and looking like a senile coot. According to Carter, Carson and his staff were irate on the sketch. However, in the oral history book ''Live From New York'', Carvey (while agreeing the sketch was in poor taste) claimed Carson actually enjoyed it as poking fun at Hall as much as him.

* MoralEventHorizon: Leno is forced to choose between keeping ''The Tonight Show'' or parting with Helen Kushnick, a long-time ally from his early stand-up days. When he tries to get her to back down for both their sakes, she explodes in a rage and accidentally reveals she was responsible for an ad campaign to push Carson to retire. Because Leno swore to Carson - his beloved Father figure - that he had nothing to do with that, he realized [[ThisIsUnforgivable Kushnick made him lie to Carson,]] which immediately ends any friendship he had with her.
-->'''Leno''' (seeing Kushnick is trying to smash a framed picture of the two of them): What? You want this broken?! (grabs it from her and smashes it with full fury) IT'S BROKEN! (walks away)
