My best friend in the 90s worked for Leno (still does as far as I know) and was laid off. He found out and saved her job from the chopping block. His taking a pay cut sounds like Jay - he may be a lib but he does value his employees. He was very well respected when I worked for NBC. Btw, the crew listens to Rush every morning.
That was nice of him to do. I bet he does feel bad people were layed off and that is why he took a paycut cut to try to minimize them. I think if he just quit having the Mooch on that would help.
