This is what I will remember him for: " ...Letterman’s annual Christmas episodes, and told the same story every year about a bizarre encounter he had with actor Clayton Moore, star of TV’s “The Lone Ranger,” ... "
I am sure it is on YouTube somewhere. If you haven't heard it, it's worth the search.
In the late 1960s/early 1970s, Jay was the night time DJ on WAPE radio in Jacksonville, FL. I used to listen to his "Top Eight at Eight" every evening. Around the house somewhere I still have a vinyl album from 1970 that featured the DJs of WAPE "presenting" some of the big hits of the day. Jay is one of the DJs pictured on the back cover.

Used to look forward to it every year.

There you go,
I'd seen that at some point, but had completely forgotten it. Watched it just now...comedy gold...
Thanks, Don.
A classic, for sure.

A collector's item!
