Edd Hall/Tom Snyder/Jay Leno. 

Edd Hall, who acted as Jay Leno's announcer for many years, was one of my colleagues on the NBC NY Page staff. We all knew we were in the presence of greatness when Edd did his fire-eating act, plus a flawless impression of Tom Snyder on The Tomorrow Show in 1980.

In fact, our Page class was bursting with talent, as you can see from this performance by The Front Pages (Pamela Senatore, Mark Traub, Ramon Plaza, Mindy Green, Lesley Gallo, Mark Lyons, Alan Goldfarb, Candy Korman and Rose Riggins) on that same Tomorrow show. Several other Pages also performed individual acts. Later, Norm Gunzenhauser, Peter Johansen and Mark Lyons collected many Emmy awards and nominations, while Robert "Bob" Beuth acted in dozens of films, TV shows and commercial campaigns. Other Pages held top-level positions at NBC, CBS, HBO, ESPN, Showtime, etc. A few of us (Candy Korman, Linda Marr and myself) even wrote books.
