Can someone identify or make out this autograph?

Can anyone read this autograph? I was cleaning up and found an autograph book my kids would take on trips to NYC I identified all the other Autographs in the book. Most are in order and I can match them up to photos, but this one is out of order and is the last one in the book. I can’t tell if it’s a T at the beginning or a J? If anyone can identify or decipher it would be awesome! It’s driving me crazy! Thanks

Update:

Thanks for the reply. The years of the book are from 2008-2011. This  would definitely not have had any sports autographs in it. It would have been autographs from the Today show, I have identified all the journalists or it could have been after a Broadway show or the David Letterman show. A Mike Myers autograph is in the same book. 

Update 2:

MsBittner, as I was typing the first update and re reading your reply I realized who’s autograph it is 

John Larroquette. He was in a show in 2011 with Daniel Radcliffe, my son wanted Daniel’s autograph but could not get it. It was a mob scene and he had to leave, but we did manage to get John Larroquette.

Thanks! Your clues helped tremendously

    I make the first name as John. The downward stroke for the upright part of the J, then the sideways line leading into an O that doesn't quite close, then up for the stem of the H, down and a little hump for the rest of the H, then a second hump for the N.

    Decoding the surname might be easier if we knew what kinds of famous people your kids got the autographs of. Sports? Broadway? Movies? TV? Politicians? And the approximate span of years would also help.

    Just playing with the second name... could that first letter be an L? The next one would have to be a vowel, though, and I just don't see that.
