As a Union guy i know he said he voted against a paycut but still took it anyways to save his crew. Admitted they were good union people just trying to make a living and how he used to live paycheck to paycheck. He also acknowledged he already had 15 million so he would be ok with doing his side gigs. Nobody wants to take a paycut but he chose too. At any time he couldve chose a different avenue to continue his wealth building. New cable deal, couldve had the crew laid off, demanded less of a cut. But in the end he didnt so kudos to Leno from a Union worker. 👍👍

It took me awhile but Jay grew on me and I think he took the show to a whole new level. I'm glad I kept watching. He deserves everything he has and his story is simply amazing. It's the ultimate American dream story! I think that his success has a lot to do with the fact that he never forgotten where he came from and what he had to do to get there. Many successful folks forget and I think it's many there downfall.

All I can say is a guy who you can literally walk up to and ask about cars and he'll chat with you for 20 minutes, remember your name, but has that kind of wealth, he just seems like a nice guy. I'm not the only person, by far, who has experienced this with him. He will talk to just about anyone, and is extremely friendly. Drives around Burbank, Sherman Oaks, etc all the time, no bodyguard, no effort to conceal his identity, you can say hi to him any time and he smiles and says hi back. Most celebrities are not like this, I know from working in PR in the 90's in the area, with lots of personalities. Most of them were also decent people, but they were NOWHERE near as open and friendly as Jay is.

Jay is a super cool guy. Hilarious and a peoples person. I got a selfie with him few years ago. Real engaging person. He interacts with people.

Jay Leno is a class act. He volunteered to perform at a dinner while I was in law enforcement for a very small audience in a local L.A. venue. He was very generous and gracious with his talent and time. It was much appreciated and enjoyed. He continually shows he is a man of character.

Used to see him all the time driving any one of his cars or motorcycles while I lived in sunland-tujunga. If you waved,he'd waved back and acknowledged you...very kind and humble man. 👌👍

I’ve always enjoyed Jay Leno. I truly enjoyed a standup performance he gave in a big theater in the late 1980’s in Alabama. He was as personable, on the level, and completely non-arrogant in person as he always seems to be.

Nice show. The legends are back.😀😀😀

I met Jay at a Vintage Car race event 20 years ago...we spent 3 hours in the Garage talking cars ...he loved my car (1967 Shelby GT350 w/ 700 HP motor) ..he is a real "car guy" and so fun to hang with !

Jay is such a humble down to earth guy. Truly an example to be followed.

I was watching Jay guest hosting on the Carson show and one of his guests was Jacqeline Bisset. He told her it was nice to finally meet her. She told him that they had met already. He asked her when because he didn't remember. She said that her Jag had broken down and Jay pulled over and fixed it on the side of the road. He didn't remember it.

Great video and this is why I loved Jay Leno all those years and still do. He wasn’t an egotistical prick. Thanks for sharing.

An absolute LEGEND!!!! The world needs more Jay Leno's

Great guy, I really admire Jay. Hes so humble and down to earth. Just a terrific guy.

Jay is a true stand up guy. There is no "G" in his name...GREED! Just look at the man..what you see...is what you get. I admire Jay...You are the man !! Would love to meet Jay before I die.....

Honestly that is really nice of him to take such a big pay cut to save the crew. And he's right. He's already making so much money anyway.

He's married to Mavis Nicholson-Leno, and has been since 1980 it would seem. I guess he recently celebrated his 40-year anniversary, now married for 41 years. Smart man. Marriage is dangerous for men, but with the right woman, it can be among the greatest decisions of your life. I got married relatively recently, there's some difficult days and sometimes we have arguments but it's not the end of the world. Looking forward to being a dad someday and making her a mom, I'm certain she will be a fantastic mother. It'd be good if I wasn't an alcoholic, costs me upwards of $7000 a year I think not to mention taking time off my life and keeping me quite overweight, but lucky enough she is very understanding of my addiction.

Regular guy. Remember seeing him ride up to the Rock Store on Mulholland Dr. on a vintage motorcycle. Riding about 50 yards behind him was an old German guy also on a motorcycle. That was his mechanic for if/when his vintage bike broke down. True story.

Jay Leno is a solid man from head to toe, and as thoughtful for those he touches as he can be - he deserves everything he earned honestly by making us laugh

Met Jay at the Rock Store back in the day…genuine human for sure…great guy! I also happen to work as a PA at NBC in college 1997-8ish…passed by The Tonight Show set every day for 6 months and never saw Jay drive the same car twice!
