Jimmy Brogan served as a writer for the opening monologue on "The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno". Jimmy would sit to one side of the
audience while Jay told his jokes. On occasion, Jimmy and Jay would
make a bet to see if a certain joke worked or not. If Jimmy won, Jay
would walk down the stage, and pay Jimmy. If Jay won, Jimmy would come
to the stage and pay off the bet. All this was done while the camera
was running.
