Since we're talking early Jay Leno - which we're really not, but since it was mentioned I get to do this - I thought I'd share an image of a check he wrote on 2/24/77 - less than a week before his first-ever appearance on The Tonight Show (3/2/77), which as you all know would eventually be a major part of his legacy by virtue of his taking over the host duties after Johnny Carson resigned.
