In 2009 during the recession, leno came to Detroit and did two free comedy shows for out of work auto employees at an arena and got a bunch of corporate backing to cover free concessions for every guest. If I remember that translates to a night out for about 32-36 thousand people.

I did standup for 30 years. Jay was told my dad had an aneurysm and was recovering. It was touch an go. Jay made a call to my dad and my dad was incredibly touched. He made a full recovery. I was a nobody and Jay didn't have to do that. I'll always be grateful to Jay for doing that. As a standup he was the best. I remember going on at the Comedy & Magic Club and then sitting and watching Jay. He made 45 minutes seem like 10 minutes. Great joke after great joke. Good man!

On the other hand, Jay has the respect of the Car community because he has a deeper love for cars than most "car guys." Most car guys have a deep level of knowledge of a specific car give or take a couple of years. Jay's knowledge is expansive over multiple years, and brands.

In 2009 I took a tour of NBC studios. It was $7.00. During the tour we walked passed Jay's personal parking spot. One of his cars was parked there, a little purple car. Jay saw our tour group, walked over to us, and spent 10 minutes talking about his car. Jay is the real deal. He's also very tall in real life.

As we were leaving the venue, my friend said there he is. He was outside the back of the venue signing autographs. I ran out in traffic and asked him to sign it. He asked how old is this? ( It was from the 80's with the pastel suits and funky ties) I said I saw you 30 years ago. I wish I had thought of something clever but he was gracious enough to sign.

I grew up in Burbank and I've run into Jay Leno a few times. 1st time, one of his classic cars broke down in my alley. I was a little kid at the time, but I would stay up with my older brothers and watch his show. I recognized him, he was real nice, still have the autograph. 2nd time, saw him at Foster's Freeze and he bought Ice Cream for all the kids there. I've seen him around since and one of his car warehouses is near my work so I see him driving by occasionally. You can tell it's him because the classic car and he always wears denim pants and denim jacket. He performs regularly at Flappers, a comedy club in Burbank.

Our family had rented an old creepy house for a summer while waiting to move into our new home. Below the family room was a garage with two Ford Model As from the 1920s. The only rule my young brothers and I were given by the owner was not to touch them because they were not his. About a month into our stay we get a knock on the door and it’s Jay Leno. He goes downstairs to his cars and about a minute later he yells up the steps “who touched my car”? We’re freaking out. We were blaming each other but swore none of us touched them. It was very hard not to though. He tells us to come downstairs. He shows us a couple of fingerprints on one of the cars. The longest silence that felt like minutes until Jay says nonchalantly “you’re too young to drive. I’ll do the driving for us” and he takes all three of us for a 15 minute car ride. Even let us honk the horn that made an “ahhooga” sound. I’ll never forget that day.

At worst he's in 2nd place. 1st place goes to the execs of NBC, at least for me. Jay wasn't ready to retire but they sorta forced him to, to make way to Conan because they promised Conan the slot . They then gave Leno, as part of the deal probably to step down, the slot before the Tonight Show which of course he accepted because he wasn't ready to hang it up just yet. That in turn hurt the ratings for Conan's Tonight Show which then NBC used as a reason to make Conan move his show the next day and give Jay his old show back. I think Jay's only fault in this whole scenario is accepting to host the show before Conan's. That felt probably felt disingenuous on Conan's part.

I will never judge a stand up comic for "selling out". They spend years sometimes decades touring and staying in filthy motels and apartments, having to neglect friends and family, staying up late with dysfunctional people (which, if you're prone to substance abuse like a lot of comedians are, isn't good for your sanity or mental health). It's a freaking brutal life. That's why when I hear people giving comedians like Adam Sandler or Eddie Murphy crap for starring in cheesy movies, or Jay Leno for doing hacky monologues every night, I just roll my eyes. They made it. Let them make some money and enjoy some luxuries.

I worked on a show at NBC in Burbank for 4 months in 2003. Jay's parking spot was right by the entrance. I never saw the same car twice. I saw the jet motorcycle too. I still see him driving around Burbank in these insane cars, all the time.

In one of the earlier episodes of his series, he got someone to start up a hot rod and he was able to tell what kind of alternator they had used based on the sound it made when the engine was turning over lol. Completely changed my perception about him because I really didn't care for his late night role. His knowledge of vehicles is almost priceless compared to his comedy imo

Agree. He is an actual expert on cars and its obviously what he really loves. The tonight show made it possible. I likes his corny, bland style. He changed the Carson format only slightly. Carson teased Ed about drinking, Jay teased Kevin about weed. That's about it. He was the perfect successor to Johnny. But the Carson Era ended when Leno left, not when Johnny did. Fallon is a new thing.

Back in the late 90's early 2000s I was a charter coordinator for Clay Lacy Aviation at Van Nuys airport. Few people know that at least once a week I would provide jet transportation for Jay. He would show up at the airport after filming his, usually Thursday "Tonight Show" around 4ish in the afternoon. We would fly him to mostly major city's around the US so he could test new material in different parts of the country. I got to know him quite well and he was always humble and respectful. One time he brought me a cajon chicken dinner from a famous cajon restaurant in New Orleans. FYI, it was Obama that didn't like a joke Jay did about him one night, that forced the network to terminate Jay's contract.

I'm guessing it had something to do with was that he just wasn't Johnny Carson, and it made some people never able to accept him as the host of the tonight show. But the guys comic timing is amazing. And I love when he's on car related shows, or talking about cars. I grew up with a mechanic dad, so that kind of thing is right up my alley. Love me some classic cars.
