Rotary of Fillmore Meets Dave Berg
By Anonymous — Wednesday, August 21st, 2019
Pictured are Rotary President Ari Larson, Dave Berg, Martha Richardson and Joe Aguirre. The Rotary Club of Fillmore enjoyed a program presented by Dave Berg. He plays in a blue grass band, has been a journalist and writer, and has spent 20 years as the co-producer of Jay Leno’s Tonight Show. He talked about Jay Leno’s work ethic and how he treated the show as a business. He expressed admiration about the way Jay always told jokes that everyone could relate to and they brought people together, rather than divide them as other comedians do. Jay is a creature of habit such as eating the same things every day, and wearing the same type of clothing every day. It makes life easier when you don’t have to make decisions about those things and instead just concentrate on jokes and monologues and making them the best they can be. Dave has written an interesting book called, “Behind The Curtain: An Insider’s View of Jay Leno’s Tonight Show.” The forward is by Jay Leno. Photo courtesy Martha Richardson. |
