Tracy Stevens
Talent Booker for the Highest Rated Late Night Show on Television, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
I worked at The Tonight Show with Jay Leno for several years as a Talent Booker. I was in charge of booking and producing the civilian talent - the athletes, kids, animals and stunt people (like the Human Cannonball Family) on The Tonight Show. I have countless entertaining stories and videos of my job on the inside of the biggest late night show in America.
I worked with U2, Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Cuba Gooding Jr., Ben Stiller and many more celebrities while at The Tonight Show. One of the most popular guests I personally booked for the show was Marie Rudisill, The Fruitcake Lady. You can watch some of her clips here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmfeJqEgPzo
I went to the University of Oregon and majored in Journalism and Communications. I graduated in three years, and moved to Los Angeles not knowing anyone. After eating eggs for six months straight and running out of money, I booked my first job by writing a letter to Leeza Gibbons and faxing it to her. The Executive Producer of Leeza saw my letter and decided to hire me with no experience. I moved from a PA up the ranks through five positions within 9 months to become an Associate Producer for the Leeza Show. A producer at Leeza then recommended me to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, where I landed one of the most coveted positions in Television Production at the age of 21. Working as a Talent Booker for Jay Leno was a production dream! Every day, I was booking people who could do outrageous stunts, light their hair on fire, diving dogs, Olympic athletes, genius kids, or San Diego zoo animals. There was never a dull moment, and I have the footage and the stories to share with your audiences.
