This is a micro-criticism. As Doug points out, everyone that does any of this work will misstate a name or draw a blank when reaching for a thought. Happens to me a couple times a day and I have the benefit of a computer in front of me. Plus, the guests on the show generally don't know if I'm going to go in a different direction on occasion and have to react to whatever I send their way. Jay is fairly new to the on-air visits and has always been well prepared. Most importantly, he had winning opinions to proffer.
