This is what everyone keeps saying but it just isn't true. Jay said at the time that he was fine with retiring and looking forward to traveling and getting back to more standup. If that really wasn't what he felt, he should have pitched a bitch at the time.
I like Jimmy because he's goofy and cute. Anyone who expected Johnny Carson-level stuff out of him is going to be very disappointed.
