"Don't blame conan" is his greatest story ever

I saw Leno's show live in June of 1994. Danny DeVito was a guest, All-4-One performed "I Swear" and Ray Romano did standup. Jay said hello to us fans at the end of the taping while they were taking some quick 10 second spots for promotion. The mood in that room was so positive and upbeat. He is one incredible machine and the real deal. Ray Romano was on my flight back to JFK the next day on an empty 767. I briefly said hello to show respect and he was a guy that was obviously working his tail off. And, it paid off! Those were the days. Jay is so impressive as a work machine and such quick wit. A genius and still the guy from next door that you love. Great interview!!!

When you go to an auto auction and Jay Leno starts bidding against you.

Jay's story about making Rodney laugh one more time was perfect.

Man, I couldn't wait for Jay to go into further detail the comedians he loves.

Everytime I see Jay I worry that his stories my die with him. I worry that he hasn't got them all told yet, that he hasn't done a Jay lenos garage of every car in the garage yet. Here's to enough years to finish passing on the rest of the stories.

I think that about him doing standup. He’s never done a special and has said why he doesn’t want too (he can mishmash 40 years of standup and you’ll never hear the same jokes twice even if you see him two days in a row) so I hope he starts podcasting to tell HIS stories and anecdotes eventually and then does a few Netflix specials or something so we get a solid 3 hours of Leno one liners with his observational comedy.

This is how all his shows need to be... this is the key to SUCCESS... no idiotic co-hosts making inane comments into a mic... just a laid back conversation between two people you want to hear talk. How do you think Joe Rogan got millions of dollars??? No dumb co-host cackling, no lame sound effects... just something you can put on in the background and chill out to.

Taking a pay cut so everyone you work with can keep their job, is the act of a true human being. I have a new respect for Jay Leno. I never thought any celebrity was capable of that.

I love jay leno. He’s so real. His honesty is so great.

I’ve had the pleasure to talk to Jay at car shows around So Cl and the rock store. I will say he is exactly like he is in this video. Refreshing to know he is so grounded.

This was an excellent hour, well spent. I was not a huge Leno fan during his Tonight years - preferred Letterman for the most part - but I have come to respect Jay more and more. His, and everyone's, public persona, is crafted, so he won't exhibit any of his flaws, but he appears to have it together. Plus, I love cars and have enjoyed many of his Garage videos. Even on those, he makes sure to bring it. Although these guys obviously don't do it any more for the coin, they support whatever staffs work with them, and I'm sure that is gratifying to them, even if they don't need to keep earning. Most true comics tend to work until they drop, and it's not always pretty.

Never thought I'd miss Jay so much on The Tonight Show

As a drummer/musician I alway would get on stage anywhere and play any kind of music...because my drum teacher told me when I was 6 years old...always get on stage...Nobody will see you in the crowd. And you never know who is in the crowd. He was so right.

Jay has always been fantastic. As a fellow car guy I’d love to spend a day, heck even a half day with him listening to his car stories and sharing some of mine. He’s spot on when he says it’s all about the story because my experience tells me the exact same thing. Meeting him is on my bucket list.

I love the story telling with amazing punch-ups of this or that! Like Adam’s realization of Pop music being played in restaurants as if the fans of that music are actually the people who pay the tab at said bar/ restaurant! Insights into the human condition, corporate America, and day to day life!

When Jay wrote his 1996 book, a collection of stories from his time on the road, he said he would eventually follow it up with a proper autobiography. I'd love to see that project materialize.
