In the 80's when Jay was filling in for Carson on The Tonight Show, I helped write his monologue, he had other writers too...I was told the magic # of jokes he needed was 26 jokes and I actually got 3 jokes ON in the monologue. One had to do with Reagan's age...one had to do with Leona Helmsley and one other I can't recall. It was so long ago that we faxed in our jokes. It was exciting to watch the show hoping to hear one of my jokes! Great times! - Joe Johnson

Jay Leno is a rock in a turbulent world.

Jay is a class act and an amazing car and motorcycle collector. In one instance a lady called him and asked if he wanted to buy her late husbands Ferrari 275. Her husband paid $5800 for it and had told her that it was worth $350,000. Jay responded that he could give her the $350,000 for it but that it was worth closer to $4 million. Jay put her in touch with a friend of his with an auction company and told her that if she got over $3.5 million for it she would have to bake him some chocolate chip cookies. The car sold for $3.75 million.

He was an easy punching bag for his middle of the road humor, but that's what was needed. He actually started out very edgy and made a commercial decision to moderate himself, where Pryor started out like Bill Cosby style without the roofies, not edgy at all and made a commercial decision to be controversial.

He did the opening monologue on the Tonight show as if he was doing a comedy gig at a club he was totally at ease even though he's performing for millions of people. I liked Letterman and Conan in the late night time slot and when they went to other networks,but they both seem a bit self conscious that if they don't get the laugh they expect from their jokes it really bothers them.Jay never had that. Jay seemed like he could be spontaneous and come up with jokes off the top of his head where as Letterman and Conan seemed more regimented with their jokes and they dare not stray from telling the jokes exactly how they were planned. It's hard to put into words ,but Jay is a special guy and comedian.

I met Mr. Jay Leno when I worked at the Handy Market in Burbank, California, in 2006. While my co-worker worked on his request I mentioned meeting his welder that would sometimes do the bit where they zoomed in on him while Jay says 'then we will send this guy to you!' Jay says oh yeah, says his name, then proceeded to tell me a joke about a boy on the side of the road with a welding helmet...he then stopped suddenly and said, 'you'll have to excuse me there's children around and it's inappropriate.'

Jay’s obviously a very charismatic, loquacious guy. In a vacuum he’s very likable doing this informal bullshitting, it’s where he thrives. Arguably as skilled at it as anyone alive, certainly the most experienced next to Letterman. That said, Bill is a terrible listener. He’s already dragged Kimmel through the history of “The Tonight Show” on this podcast, and Jimmy (begrudgingly) explained to Bill that there was no doubt w/ anyone in the know, Jay is a ruthless, bad guy. It’s settled. Yet here Bill is doubling and tripling down the same arguments that Jimmy picked apart. Jay is the common denominator where late night hosts get fkd over. Bill is getting old. Literally and figuratively. I’m still here for his content but he’s aggravating me more and more and he’s misspeaking, mispronouncing, repeating things, just doing more and more old guy shit.

This had echos of the Grumpier old men movies. The bickering, the back and forth, such a great episode between two guys that clearly share a lot of mutual respect and would consider each other old friends.

My narrative is this is like an "anachronistic" vignette of Bill and Jay's relationship in the late 70s when Bill was coming up trying to get spots or favors from Leno but there is the respect there. In fact I can almost see the subtext in it imagine the time elapsed in this long form interview actually as young bills trying to keep him on the hook he doesn't want to let him go, you know .Jay of course is completely aware

Of course that's exactly what's happening if you replace favors or spots with information about the Conan debacle .I do however like the inside baseball talk about showbiz it's kind of pimp when Leno chuckles to himself "I know, I know"

Jay is sooo great. Uber class act

I am not kidding... I JUST saw Jay... he is as funny as Mark Normand, Bill Burr, or anybody. He deserves a ticket.

I have always heard from comedians how much they respected/ admired Jay’s comedy. Saying he is one of the best and how he had to change a bit when he was doing the tonight show. For the tv audience. More vanilla. So I would love to see his act. Especially since he doesn’t put out any comedy specials. I really have only seen him catering to the TV audience. I would like to see him let it rip. Always had the feeling he was a very decent guy, but he seems to have a negative reputation from comedians who took sides in the late night wars.

@@StuPedassol You seemed surprised (“I’m not kidding”) that Leno is funny, but he’s long been one of the standup greats. It may be a bit like, “I watched Tom Brady play, but, no kidding, he’s actually very good.” But I misread, maybe. No insult intended.

Thanks Bill didn't know Jay was such a great human being .

This was a very enjoyable episode. I love Jay. When I was about 11 years old I caught Jay guesting hosting the Tonight Show. He was the reason I started watching late-night TV.

The Dangerfield story was incredible!

Bill, this is your best one yet. Leno is amazing.

Jay is such a pro, one of the best crowd work comedians I’ve ever seen. Love this interview Bill, I met Jay when he filmed his first special American Dream, we were next to each other in the bathroom and Jay was just riffing off comments I was making. Great podcast! 👍❤️

I never liked his comedy because I thought it was too clean and crowd pleasing. But in retrospect, I have a lot of respect for him to still be somewhat funny over the decades and for being married to the same woman. Jay is an example that not all comedians have to be damaged neurotics.

Jay Leno is a really good guy

one of the best interviews ever of Jay Leno. Jay usually doesn't reveal much about his personal life or experiences but he felt relaxed and it showed. Well done Bill ! Jay is a class act in a very seedy industry. Makes the Letterman's and Howard Sterns look so petty for the years they just railed against Jay in the media.

This was such a great show! I love Jay Leno and Bill Maher. They are so different yet so great together! I'm lucky to be hearing them together.

Brilliant episode. Really enjoyed it, and a great follow up to Kimmel. Amazing story about Rodney. Thanks to Jay for sharing that.

I agree and even Letterman who's a well known Democrat never made his show about hating Bush JR or making the same jokes after he left office. Sure he did Clinton jokes mostly about the sex scandal and he would make his Bush JR jokes but nothing like today.

Bill is killin' it with the podcast.

Just Jay. That's what I thought of watching his terrific standup show from the fourth row recently at, as Bill put it, one of those upstate New York casinos, lol. No band, no Johnny Carson theatre, no trappings of any kind - just a stool with a bottle of water, a microphone... and, just Jay. That's when you see what a true comic star is all about! A night chock full of jokes, and every one a home run! Amazing writing, Jay's delightfully unique delivery and voice, and incredible comedic timing. My sides were splitting lol. But more than that, you could just tell what a humble and genuine and caring human being he is. He made just a couple brief non-comedic references to his life and projected such kindness and authenticity. I had to relisten to this podcast, and was so very gratified that Bill praised Jay repeatedly for the wonderful man that he obviously is and has always been. Great episode! Enjoyed them both!

This is my new favorite podcast, such smooth, wonderful conversation.
