Billy Joel Calls in to Promote His New Film
One of Long Island’s Favorite Sons
More Fun Off the Mic
More Fun Off the Mic
Jay told Howard that the first incarnation of his radio show was more fun off the air, as the empty station was rife with opportunity: “So I start–you know, while the news was on–banging the girl who did the [commercials]…I would get her on that desk and bang her on that desk while the news was on.”
Even though it was a small market, Jay looked back on the gig fondly: “I would get a little head and then go back into the studio.”
Howard was envious: “In a way, The Jay Thomas Show was funnier off the air.”
His Children Are Way More Interesting
Before he left, Jay told the crew about his sons, starting with the eldest, a successful songwriter: “He just wrote what we think is going to be the second single on the new Kenny Chesney record.”
The middle one is some kind of warrior: “He’s becoming a successful gunsmith. He’s a mountain lion tracker…he told me that mountain lion tastes like pork chops.” The youngest–and arguably, smartest–is a scientist: “[He] doesn’t really talk to me and doesn’t really find me all that interesting.”
