About Helen Kushnick
- Helen Kushnick (August 18, 1945 – August 28, 1996), born Helen Gorman in New York, was the agent of comedians Jimmie Walker, Elayne Boosler and Jay Leno for much of her early career.
- Leno had been performing stand-up comedy in a variety of venues when she found him, and afterwards, Kushnick was with him all the way to his role hosting The Tonight Show. Her strong-arm tactics in her role as executive producer of the show created a great deal of conflict with NBC.
- For example, she reportedly banned stars from appearing on the program if they appeared on any other talk show.
- These practices led to her dismissal only four months into her tenure in that position.
