I have met Mr. Leno and he said call him Jay. We were showing my 69 Buick Riviera at a car show. He came and admired it. He was dressed in jeans and his trade mark chambray shirt, with a grease stain on it! A great down to earth guy, who admired my car!!!!!. Made my day

I met fellow that worked in Jay Leno's garage, before starting his own vintage race car shop, years ago He told me that guy you see in these videos and his garage show, is exactly how he is.

Jay Leno stayed off drugs, and was never in a scandal or the Tabloids. Jay wisely put every Tonight Show check into savings for a rainy day. Jay lived off his stand-up comedy routine all those years while the Tonight Show salary was invested wisely and grew substantially until Jay finally retired and started to spend his fortune on the things he liked. When you buy a Mansion on the East Coast it's less taxes and half the price of California. I do think that when Jay and Mavis pass the Mansion will be donated for Historical Preservation of the "gilded age" in America history.

I said “silver streaks” and he made contact with me from 10 feet away and it just showed what a genuine person he is. If he reads this I know he would still Remember even though it was more than five years ago.

I rarely see celebrity homes that I like, but this is beautiful and a perfect setting. How nice to be able to afford and say to the owner, can I buy it with everything included - who knew comedy could be that lucrative, but good for him.
