For those who don't like Dave Letterman, there's Jay Leno; and for those who like neither, there's Craig Ferguson; and if you're still feeling undertained, there's George Lopez and Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel and - let's see, did we leave out a Jimmy?
Jay-Z, he knows precisely who he's going for - 14-year-old white suburban girls.
I used to hang out a lot in jazz clubs, and the groups took to a kid like me who wasn't afraid to get up and sing with a jazz band. Then I started to hang out in rock clubs and learned to carry off different styles.

I've always been a Jeff Beck fan. Who isn't? He is in a league of his own.

I could be a jerk and get a lot more publicity, but that's not who I am.
