In the week after 9/11, Jay's wife finally got to fly into the Burbank Airport. Jay pulled up to the curb but was told by. the Glendale officers he needed to move along (security was very tight). Before he left he asked if these officers had eaten, These officers had no place to buy food as the restaurants in the airport were closed. Jay came back with pizzas for all these officers.....Jay is the most understated thoughtful person. I know all this because I know one of the Glendale officers who was there.
i just love Jay Leno here. He seems like a genuinely nice guy & your story shows he is. that’s nice.
Great story sounds like a great guy.
that doesnt stop him from being a political moron
Look at what he dropped off hospital sat.. cheap! A working class man would do better than that.
❤
I’ve met Jay a couple of times long ago when I was a student, he graciously gave us a tour of his garage. He wanted to rearrange some furniture so my classmate and I helped him move it around, afterwards he disappeared for a few minutes and came back with a tray of cokes and snacks for us, apologizing that he didn’t have anything else. we were students, no one special. He is the most polite, down to earth person. Funny thing, I’m a teacher now and my class exhibited their projects at the Makerfaire, Conaan O’Brien stopped by and spent half an hour speaking with them and genuinely inquiring about their projects, great guy, Another celebrity that hasn’t lost touch.
Meeting a celebrity doesn't make him a good guy....or his opinions 'right.' Jay Leno, another California brainwashed elitist. He is dead wrong on the economy....and of course everything seems 'fine' to him.....he is worth hundreds of millions and lives a lavish lifestyle with no concern about the cost of ANYTHING! He is far removed from his working class roots....sad to see him support a guy as corrupt as Joe Biden and his family of criminals. Leno is another shill for Leftists.
Leno went WOKE and Letterman is off somewhere.
Wow .. a troll that prefers being asleep . passed out or in a Comma vs being Awoke.
Such a good liar
You are human beings and special. Jay recognized this. That is what makes him special. Not his money. Not his fame. His real legacy was making a better day for you. He did this as well as an entertainer but so does everyone else who contributes in their own way to help us build a better society.
One of my best friends from high schools dad was an antiques/ car collector/trader and when he died of cancer, Leno came to the funeral, all the way up here in Canada, to a little unknown town to most of the country, let alone the US. All the years I knew him, he never bragged or said anything about who he sold cars to, only after his death I come to find out. Jay is an incredibly grateful and humble man, just a regular car guy that happened on good fortune that allowed him to live out his car crazy fantasy like the rest of us gear heads would have given the opportunity like he's had.
I never watched either piers Morgan or Jay Leno but this was a fun show to watch and I have a new respect for Jay Leno.
My brother did an electrical contracting job for Jay at his garage a decade or so back. Said he's the most genuinely nice sort you could ever meet.
Nice and shallow...
And that’s the result of the life & upbringing he had by watching & listening to his immigrant parents! What a hardworking man - who deserves all his success!!
That’s exactly what I would think of him… he is what you see.
@@MiCajaDelIdiota oh and not a cynical genius like you?
When all the late night wars were going on, thats the thing i think people just kept missing. I love Letterman, love Conan, but Jay was the guy you wanted to see on your tv after a long day and week of all the other bs going on in the world. He wasnt overly cynical or mean spirited, he was just a good guy and that came across on tv.
Met Jay once at a Chinese restaurant with his wife. One of the nicest celebrities I've ever met, made a few jokes and wished us well. Super chill and took the time to say hi to everyone.
His wife is now suffering from dementia. Really unfortunate for him and Mavis 😔
Let impeach Trump on collusion with Russia and for two years they study it on your money, but they drop it and impeach him on a phone call from 8 days earlier as if they knew it wasn't about accomplishing something that matters. Then Nancy Pelosi screams out "We'll impeach him twice! He'll be the first President to be impeached twice!" No talk about the crime. This ought to make Democrats think more about Democrats being wicked than Trump. Then charged wtih 97 crimes and innocent until proven guilty, but he does get guilty of evaluating his properties higher than what they are worth. By that logic all people owning anything are guilty for don't you list your house at more cause you can always lower the price to sell it? If it is a logically large purchase, as anything Trump owns in NYC would be a large price, you would have your own personal evaluation done. How about that? Democrats are stupid. Children don't need chemical castration. Ukraine has a border you care about so why don't you care about America's borders. Finally, children are beheaded and minors are fucked. So do you support Israel or what I just brought up from Palestine? Read Isaiah 14:28-31 and know Palestine whole and the whole world judged by fire, so think hard about your cause in Palestine even more than all the rest.
Wasn't it awkward to meet him while you were with his wife?
@@valkopuhelin2581 She just stayed at the table kind of realizing he's famous while he made some jokes, at the time (early 2020s) she seemed fine and healthy
Jay reached out personally when my uncle was dying of cancer. Sent tickets to his show for his benefit. My uncle had built a transmission for him and they got to know each other over the phone. Jay is the real deal!
Jay Leno broke my heart when he left the Tonight's Show. Thank you for this Piers, absolutely loved every bit of it. ❤❤
A few years ago I was at Johnny Rocket in Encino, with my son, who was 15 or 16 at the time. On A Sunday lunch time, Mr. Leno and some of his motorbike buddies came and they sat at an outside table. When we finished our meal, my son said I want to take a photo of him! I said go up to him and ask him first, before taking the photo. He walked out and I was watching him from inside waiting for finish paying our check, all of a sudden I saw Mr. Leno get up took my son's phone, gave it to one of his friends, stood by my son with his hand on his shoulder, and his friend took the photo. It was one of the nicest thing I had witnessed.
"Mr. Leno"? REALLY? Sheesh......
What else is more to say...Mr.Jay leno..😊
BS!
@@richardelarmo8379nothing but BS!
❤@@patasmus67
I'm an immigrant, came to US in '89. My brother took me to the Jay Leno show and I got to know him. He was a filler for Jonny at the time. I lived in North Hollywood and lot of times seen him drive by Vineland Ave in his classic cars. We would wave at him and he never forgot to wave back. Our whole family was in love with the guy and the show.
You WERE an immigrant. You’re an American now, brother❤
O God forgive them!
nice i see a few times a year myself i live in SUNLAND /shadowhill so i always see him shooting his show on wentworth blvd
Jay 😎 Awesome Leno 🙏🏼
It’s nice when we see legitimate nice people float to the top of life . He seems nice anyway
taking his final breath, severely wounded and certainly mangled on the side of the road, Humphry, my 8-year-old German Shepherd lay. The blue Subaru Impreza that hit him is sitting in the middle of the lane, holding up traffic, dented hood, red liquid running down the logo. Three cars back, in a $20,000,000 McLaren F1 was a man that my whimpering wife and I noticed (how could you not recognize that chin!). Jay Leno put his 4 ways on, opened his door, got out of his car, and came to comfort me and my wife as Humphry ascends to the heavens. Jay ran back to his car to get his keys, seemingly to leave, but instead brought a moose plush toy for Humphry, before Humphry pushed out one good bark before visiting Jesus. I'll never forget the compassion Jay Leno showed to me and my wife in this trying moment!
Want to say: I MISS you Jay Leno. You and Johnny Carson are/were the BEST late night talk show host, EVER!!. Stephen Colbert comes next after you guys. I watch Colbert more than any other night talk shows. I love You, Carson, and Colbert.. I'm 70-yrs-old and when I was younger it was Johnny Carson, Then you came along, and now it's Colbert. I love you guys!!. You weren't treated right when they fired you. I will never forget that. You were one of the greats and could have been more popular had they not fired you.
Jay came to Bahrain, during Desert Shield/Storm when I was in the military, he came with the Pointer Sisters, both did great shows, after the show he stayed and talked with us for a good while. I will never forget that, it meant so much.
So u like his BS?
hes super nice i see him all the time hes like staple of burbank ca hes always driving around with one of thlose old shit boxes lol
cause he had nothing better to do ! Except buy another car!!
That's really cool.
@@bradleymiller7375 Aww the gay cowboy is butt hurt.
Jay tells how Robin Williams was at Jay's first tonight show as a permenent host , where he was laughing uproriosly in a show of support. RIP Robinn . We miss you, man.
You'll be happy to know that Robin Williams is still very much alive! (He faked his death!)
Loved seeing mr Jay Leno again he has'nt changed . Iove the Scottish in him when he talks , being from England.x
I agree with Jay, "That's when I knew we were in trouble when someone said, "I'd rather have Putin for President than Binden!"; "I love immigrants; they're smart, ambitious, and family-oriented.".
No one said that they’d rather have Putin as president get your information straight, not from the pendents, but listen to what was actually said
Maybe Trump doesn't represent your people but he took care of my people.
@@nicholasboscaino6262Thank you ❤ this bloke spent more time on Biden and nothing on Trump.and Rubbished him, the economy is crap people are struggling where the hell is he coming from he has a garage full of cars what the hell would be know, another democrat telling lies America hasn't been this bad, all because they hate Trump including this talk show host, never watched him in my life. Trump must win, Biden is a joke so is this white haired old bloke.
I couldn't have said it better. @@nicholasboscaino6262
I worked at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas around 1995. Jay was performing there at the time. He walked through our employee dining hall and made it a point to wave to everyone as he walked by. I thought what a nice guy. I’ve seen and met many celebrities throughout the years in Vegas, but I never forgot that.
Hes a decent guy. His show you could watch. He kept it pretty clean. I used to watch the tonight show almost every night
I was at Harrah's in Atlantic City in the 80s when Sammy Davis Jr came out of a stairwell followed by his Entourage and cut a path through the arcade on their way to the elevators and up to his room. He was walking fast and never looked at anyone! What struck me was how short he really was damned he was a shrimpy guy. 😂
Different websites say he was 5 ft 3, 5 ft 4, 5 ft 5, 5 ft 6 I don't believe any of them he was really short!
@@ButterfatFarmswe
@@brucewilcox6868I think you mean wee. When Sammy was dancing as a little kid, he was a wee bit shorter.
Jay needs absolutely no testimonials as to what kind of a person he is. All you have to do is listen to the guy. He's as real and transparent as a 5 year old. What you see is what you get. Old school all the way.
This interview with these two fine gentlemen is refreshing. Wouldn’t it be nice if it were aired onto television?
I am so proud of Jay Leno and he did not fail to continue to be one of the nicest and down to earth guys. He is extremely polite and I like his opinions on the areas that Piers Morgan questioned him about. I'm a car nut, so I have been following his Jay Leno Garage for years, but his is still such a funny guy. Thanks, Jay Leno.
Jay has a great personality but here he showed no insight on politics whatsoever!
Jey: So very, very sorry to hear about your wife and her current condition. She is very special and so are you for taking care of her like a good husband does after 44 years together.
My father had dementia and I took care of him for 3 years before it got so bad that he needed professional help and I had to place him in a memory care assisted living. Do you think I'M very special as well?
@@retroguy9494 I’m sure that the previous person’s comment was meant to commend anyone that stands by their partner in life. They just didn’t know that you think it should be all about you…..😮🤣
@@nonhatespeech Yea well, it should NOT be about me. Because I'm NOT ''special.' I only did my Christian duty. He WAS my father after all. I did what I was supposed to do and what my late mother would have expected. That was my point in my comment to the OP. People have duties in life and they are NOT special when they perform them.
@@retroguy9494 Yes you are.
@@retroguy9494 I think so❣❣
I met Jay while standing in line at a hot dog stand, inside the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas. He could have sent someone to bring him food. But, he stood in line with all of us. So charming!
Jay Leno…we need more of him in the world. We grew up in the same Massachusetts town, both went to same Boston college …. But never met. When my mother passed away on 3.18.20, we buried her in the plot my parents purchased many years prior. While walking down the row to see who was buried near my mom, I saw that Jay’s parents are 6 graves sites down and his brother a few rows behind his parents. I know visit his parents grave when I visit my mom’s. Sometimes leaving flowers. It’s a relief to see him doing well after such a scary accident with such a humble and kind heart ❤️ Blessings to Jay and Mavis. I hope we get to meet one day back in Andover.
Love J Leno as a comedian and a human being. I was very sad when he wasn't on TV anymore. It's good to see him
a millionaire telling another millionaire the economy is just fine.
401ks are up 20% year after year in the last 3 years across the board with this economy. Unemployment is also still pretty low.
Americans are spoiled. The economy is bad because they can't afford their $75K pickup truck and 85" TV. The problem inflation is the inflation of the American lifestyle. If inflation is too much for you go out and hustle or cutback your lifestyle.
a new billionaire every week. At least most people have 2 jobs..
@@illuddivinus3309is this a democrook bot?
Because it is
One of the first in-depth interviews I seen with J Leno. He is an incredibly thoughtful and intelligent guy as exhibited in this interview. Not a man without opinion or judgment, he appreciates that there's almost always someone who knows more about it than I do! Strikes me as a great guy who would be a pleasure to spend time with. Best wishes Jay
He knows very little .
@@chrislastnam6822And presumably you know a whole lot.
Someone that loves Humpty and hates Biden
Relying to morning sky
Jay’s view “I like what Biden is doing with the economy.” Inflation is out of control. It costs $50 to drive to work, all because of failed Democrat polices.
I always liked Jay Leno, but I had no idea until seeing this interview, he was so wise and level headed... all around. I appreciate his candor & perspective.
Sure, I just wish he didn't do Conan dirty like that. Plus he always had the same stupid jokes in his monologue that I personally didn't find funny.
Very enjoyable to hear normal, energetic good guys laughing and smiling like normal healthy guys for a change😅
I remember and have told this story I heard Jay tell. He was in school and looked out the window and saw his parents struggling in the rain with plastic to cover a broken out window on his car. Every time I try to tell this story I almost cry. My parents would have done the same thing for me. I felt a real connection to his story. I grew up in Wintersville, Ohio. Next to Steubenville. He seems so nice and down to earth.
"marry your conscience. find the person you wish you could be." that's a gem right there.
👍👍💖
Consciences needed.....
Wish I'd have known that a long time ago.
@@onedaya_martian1238 Now is the time.
❤ Love Jay, wish he was still on late night. There really isn't anyone I really like to watch except Steven Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel even Tha gets boring, too many reruns. Can't stand Jimmy Fallen🤮
I met this Legend in an aisle at Whole Foods a few years ago. Only me and him there. Recognize him. Did not want to bother him with autographs and what not. A fond memory was all I needed.
I just heard about Jay's wife being ill. Sending 🙏 prayers and good thoughts his way.
Dementia is terrible she probably doesnt have long and doesnt look that well
@@lutomson3496dementia is awful and there r many types. The length of life is so variable. It’s simple one of the toughest diagnoses
People can live as long as ten years or more. It is very unpredictable.
My father had dementia and he lived a good 12 years with it. In the end, it wasn't anything related to the dementia that killed him. He caught pneumonia which led to sepsis and being in his mid 90's, his body was simply too old to fight it off.
@@billmoore7133 😂😂🤣🤣🤪 DUDE!
Great moment when Jay recalls, while growing up, of his father as an insurance salesman. Real heartfelt moment. Grande Jay.
Jay is an absolute legend, a truly genuine and funny human! I admire his optimism and humility! Great interview Piers!
bahahahhahahhahaa! I feel the total opposite.
Love your interview with jay leno. Pierce, it’s nice to see your more normal side when your interviewing a normal, common sense person. Do more of those and I’d watch more of your interviews. Learned a lot about Jay Leno, wonderful human being.
I had the pleasure of not only meeting Jay going on 42yrs ago but I was able to sit down and have a nice chat with him for several minutes and a couple days later I was able to sit down and interview him for over an hour. I found him very easy to talk to and get along with. My interview skills back then were amateurish but Jay was nice enough to say "good enough" after interviewing him. I really appreciated him saying that and I still do.
I met Jay outside the LA Improv in August of 1981. He had just parked his motorcycle on the sidewalk in front of the club and, given I was 17 and trying some amateur nights, he talked to me about standup audiences and the difference between NY and LA audiences. Very cordial and down to earth.
@@rondobson1828 I agree, Jay is cordial and down to earth.
I've had the pleasure of never meeting him. This guy just said he likes a guy that is actively destroying his own country that he presides over. That says a lot about his character.
Even Jay Leno had to recognize the brilliance of four touchdowns in a single game.
@@tbone8839 Your comment says a whole lot more about you. If you keep your head jammed firmly up Trump's arse eventually he will shit all over you..
Jay worked hard and deserves his success in a pretty tough industry. He is a very nice and decent person in real life, I have heard. Nice interview!
Nobody deserves half a billion dollars to tell (largely lame) jokes and interview fascinating people. Most of the planet would do that "job" for free.
@@user-tf4yy7qx4f Don't hate the player, hate the game.
loved Jay as the mechanic on Tim Allen's Last Man Standing show
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview with Jay.Such a down to earth man with no inflated ego at all.Cheers
I work at performing on the same ticket as Mr Leno at Corporate events, he is a gentleman, he will always come to salute you before you even can find him and beat you to it! Very humble and nice man!
Jay's positive perspectives and VOICE are what America needs to hear more often these days. How REFRESHING!! Miss you much, Mr LENO!!
I loved the names he done reading the wedding names!!! Mary Ass and Daryl Wipe. Ass-Wipe haha
Mr Leno, I can’t imagine you’ll see this but you’re a class act and a breathe of fresh air.
🤣 He's casually regurgitating the stale liberal air. Not fresh. Ask Mr. Classy what he thinks of the current president and admin leading America now, to hell in a handbasket.
I was never a fan of Piers but this is the best interview I have ever heard. I love Jay and now even more. I learned alot about him tonight. He is truly a good human being. Thank you Piers for the great interview. ❤
Piers is no Larry king
I agree, so for me, that’s more a statement about Jay.
🤮🤮🤮
You expressed exactly my thoughts. I don't have much use for Piers. But a lot of what came out of this interview is good stuff. I also didn't know much about Jay's political views. He makes sense on so many levels. I like when he said or something close to I want a president that acts like a president. Not some one looking for retribution. He put his finger on one of the many big issues with I have with tRump.
Rtyyu
Anybody as rich a Jay can always be optimistic. He's amassed enough $ to always be secure. He doesn't have to worry about groceries the next week or a tank of gas.
I just can't vote for somebody who thinks I should be fired and have my life ruined for saying something like men can't get pregnant.
Plus let's be real, he didn't really work that hard for what he has.. Leno is a perfect example of show business and capitalism(it has nothing to do with your talent or how hard you work) it's about being a narcissist having no loyalty and backstabbing, stealing whenever you can that is how you become super successful in a Capitalism system.. What a Joke.
Spoken like a loser.@@Moethelock
@@bennypit4411 very true but I also I find it hard to vote for people who think a virgin teenager gave birth to the son of an invisible god.
And u think trump will magically bring down prices🤣🤣 trump doesn't care about u. You'll figure it out eventually
Ran across Jay a few times, some from a distance, where I yelled "Hi Jay" he usually waves back. A couple times closer up, and he was just delightful and so very nice. I wasn't going to listen to this whole interview, but I really enjoyed it. I love that Jay is so humble.
Jay is another brainwashed California liberal
Prayers for Jay's wife Mavis, and more strength for Jay God bless them.
THE BEST PART OF THE INTERVIEW WERE JAYS RECOLLECTIONS OF HIS LIFE AS A COMEDIAN.. SUCH A GREAT PERSON.
Very difficult to take Leno serious. Very difficult to listen to a Hollyweird opinion.
@@billhenkhaus777Agree with you. Like taking Trump seriously 😅
Jay is old school, a nice guy who resists being pulled to a political pole. When his generation is gone there will be very few nice guys. Thanks Jay.
There is a difference between not taking a stance between R and D but not taking a stance against Trump is by default taking a stance FOR Trump and there for being on the wrong side of history. Holding someone up to the rule of law isn't a bad thing. Trump pushed for an attack to over turn an election. That should be illegal and there for dismiss a person from holding office. All Jay did was time after time show how lacking he is in knowledge of what is happening in the world. E.G: Starvation no longer being an issue. Sure mate, only 24 countries face starvation. Just counting children : 24 million children are now going hungry in those countries
I doubt Jay will be the last nice guy! 😂 I'm optimistic there are quite a few more.
These sort of statements comparing younger and older generations are getting dumber and dumber by the minute.
NICE GUY? Who ? Piers is viewed as a hack both in the UK and the USA Jay, is and always has been ignorant and lame
I love this logic. If you don't take sides you're a nice guy! Know who else loved that? The Nazi's
Jey Leno is a class act. I loved him on The Tonight Show and I miss my nightly dose of his humor. From Champaign, Illinois, USA.
I wish Jay would be back on TV! He is greatly missed!! He was the kindness guy on TV !! Always clean good comedy!!
"that's not my finger" was the funniest story I've ever heard, RIP Rodney.
The world seriously needs more like Jay Leno. He was a pleasure on the Tonight Show and what an amazing interview.
Jay is a class act. A dying breed of man that minds his own businesses and treats everyone with dignity and respect. Not a bad word to say about anyone. Has his opinions and respects yours. Love this guy. Deserves all the success he has.
I never watched Jay Leno on the Tonight Show and only in the last few years have I become aware of him through his Jay’s Garage KZhead channel so I didn’t have a very good understanding of what this man was all about but thanks to this interview, I can now say that I think I know what is under his hood and it is a damn nice engine down there, hitting on all its cylinders, and maintaining a perfect timing despite all the years that have passed. I also got to see more of what seems to drive Piers Morgan and I think what I was witnessing was a man trying to evoke a sharp or divisive response at almost every turn, poking and prodding with pointy instruments with little regard for how the guy across from him might be feeling. It is not that Mr. Morgan was unaware of Mr. Leno’s feelings, indeed he seemed quite cognizant of those emotions but rather that his MO is to try and create a stir, a drama even when it was quite clear that Jay was not going to go there. In the end, about Piers Morgan, I came away feeling like “This is not the kinds person that I would want to get to know better.” As for Jay Leno, well that guy strikes me as a soul who really knows himself and someone who feels comfortable in his own skin, even if some of it isn’t really his own skin. Nice to get to know ya, Jay. Stay well and don’t let an engine fall on your face! You’re one of the good ones!
dude, I don't think you know what an interviewer's job is supposed to be. if you just had two people talking inoffensively about stuff, that would be a real snooze.
Jay was in my town a couple years back and didn’t hesitate for a second to stop and let my wife take a selfie and record him saying hi to my son. Genuinely nice guy. He is a rare breed.
Best part of the interview is when Jay got emotional telling the story of his Dad selling insurance in Harlem.
Jay Leno really killed it in this interview. He kinda summed up a lot of things succinctly and a digestible manner.
Love Jay, love ya Jay 👋, and Piers, peerless as always. The two of you together, a real pleasure. Thanks for taking the time and sharing these fun moments. You’re a dear, Jay. Happy trails to you and yours 🙏🏼🐾🎶
I like how Jay can steer the conversation away from the political questions tastefully.
Was very interesting to see Piers trying to get controversial soundclips out of Jay and Jay deftly answering with tact and empathy.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I was just telling someone about the interview, and being in Australia, of course we know who Jay is, but otherwise no idea. I'm sure he doesn't see himself as a role model, but he surely should be. Piers kept trying to drag him into the gutter with every question but Jay kept disapointing him, like you said with heartfelt tact , empathy and a word we dont hear much these days, GRACE!
Piers kept trying to ask him about politics and trans gender issues, I was wondering if he’d try to ask about Harry and Meghan next!
That is the best sense of humor, when you can see the humor or ridiculousness of a situstion, and instead of getting mad, you see the humor😂😂😂
Saw him at a taping of the tonight show in Burbank when Tim Allen was on. One of my cherished memories to be able to see him live. You don’t meet very many genuine people in show business, but he definitely is
One of the best interviews . Jay makes me think different. His genius is mind boggling. This shows me I have too many questions, very few answers.
Well said, respect.
I think the problem is often just the opposite (and I include myself) - too many answers without having asked enough questions.
It was nice to hear Jay speak about something other than cars. Don't get me wrong I love when he shares his automotive knowledge, but this was an interesting side that I haven't had the opportunity to hear very much about. He handled the tougher divisive questions really well, class act. My favorite part was when he spoke about Sean Connery though. That was hilarious.
I saw Jay a couple times in concert & he was hilarious!! Jay has to be the most honest, humble, man ever! I just respect him so much. What a beautiful human being. Thank you Jay!
Guys, please start recording these at a higher detent volume. I had to turn up my speakers to hear Jay, then went deaf every ad that played.
Jay Leno was a great host and still is an amazing comedian. Looks like a great dude.
# He's a JOKE!!
A Terrible comedian ! Another Biden !
I just love Jay Leno! He is truly a gentleman and genuine nice guy. I've always had great respect and affection for him....I remember when he was guest host for Carson on the Tonight Show and he was interviewing Jack Palance. Palance was talking about a movie he'd made with Kurt Russell and Sly Stallone....Palance didn't care for Stallone and went on and on about him. I could see by Jay's face that he was thinking this was the last show he'd co-host for Carson because Palance would not shut up no matter how Jay tried to change the conversation around. It was absolutely hilarious and probably the best episode of the Tonight Show I've ever seen and it trumped the Hugh Grant episode by a long shot...Bless You Jay, you've shown your love to the world, shared your talent with us and made your parents proud!
I run into Jay from time to time at different car meets. He's always super nice, just loves chatting about cars.
Piers needs to visit some of the "Garages" in Michigan -- many filled with amazing cars also !
Nice to hear you talking so passionately about your parents. Brings back nice memories for me also.
Same❣💔R.I.P.💔💔
😅😅😅😅😅
Love this guy and still miss him on the Tonight Show; to me he's the funniest stand up comedian ever.
Jay Leno. A comedic and Television ICON. He doesn't work too hard to keep the house laughing and falling over each other....gifted beyond words.
Piers, I hope you read this. Thank you. I honestly did not know the gift that you have. Thank you for such a great showcase of a master interview. Watching your feet respond to Jay's dialog, I did not know how much respect, and the dignity you have given the people you've interviewed. Thank you.
I dislike the inevitability of human aging. It brings not only personal sorrow but also a poignant awareness as I witness the gradual aging of my parents and those I hold in high regard. Despite this, I am grateful that they are still a part of our lives.
Ageing is difficult, but a normal part of life, if you’re lucky.
Called life.
the twist is that movie star talking about not wanting a Ferrari was Pierce Brosnan ....hahaha
He is definitely A CLASS ACT Jay Lenoe Honesty.From A Canadian 🇨🇦
"It's anti-democratic" -- Piers referring to the thought of T-rump being thrown off the ballot. What's anti-democratic is an insurrection.
He’s a Brit. He knows nothing.
I met Jay at a car show and he liked my 1969 Buick Riviera. He drove his Duesenberg there, was so nice to see. He signed my Dash plaque. A great guy
Absolutely loved this interview. I’ve always watched The Tonight Show. Jay isn’t one to talk about himself; this is such a rare opportunity for people like me to gain a better insight into Jay. You really are one of kind, Piers. Brilliant, really. Thank you ❤️
Me too...if you are a fan of his comedy, and would like another comics perspective, check out Joe Rogans interviews (prob 3-5 yrs old by now..but should be on KZhead)they are pretty good and it was one of the first long form interviews I got to see with him. The stories he tells on that one are GREAT!! trust me!!
@@joblo2671 Thanks.
@@adimeter also, he has done a few more with different comedians over the last few years that should be available here on KZhead. Howie Mandel and he did one not too long ago in which he finally broke down everything that happened with the Conan situation, and was entertaining. You're welcome.
@@joblo2671 Thank you again.
I have always loved Jay Leno. The stories about his mom are the best. My favorite from his tour, was her meeting Sting on an elevator. So glad I found this tonight. What a refreshing and fun change from what I usually watch. Thanks for the laughs ~
I was a little worried... but thumbs up Jay! 😂
Always liked Jay. Not overly exposed to him living in Australia. After this interview I have huge respect for him and his views. Someone with his temperament and attitudes would make a great president. People oriented and considers situations before commenting. Awesome
Mr. Pier Morgan I am very grateful for giving great Interview on Jay Leno. You touched his beginnings and his present & future story. Jay Leno gave a funny but sincere response including his Great touching, funny relationship with his Mom & Dad. Great Interview with an American Icon Comedian!!!🤗😊😎👍🎭😘
I started watching this unsure of whether I would stay interested. great interview, Jay is a great guy, I'm amazed he wasn't a father, seems like he would've made a great one.
They decided at the beginning of their marriage not to have children. He & his wife have been very devoted to each other and have had very full lives together.
I meet Jay on Magnolia Blvd - he had a steam car. I was blown away by his eyes. I don't know if it was the LA sun but I have not seen eyes like that before!
I really enjoyed this Piers show with Jay Leno,. It brought back a heap of memories!
I'm not surprised about Mr. Leno, I knew he was a great guy, but I am more surprised that I watched this entire interview and actually enjoyed Piers Morgan doing the interview. Welcome back to humanity Mr. Morgan.
Agreed
As great as Jay Leno seems in this interview, Pierce looks like the ass he is.
Agreed
Great Interview Mr. Morgan, Jay is a great American treasure, thanks for the great questions, so nice to hear him talk about so many issues and circumstances. Great job, thanks.
"a great American treasure?" Aren't you exaggerating a lil bit? He's just a funny guy with extremely shallow opinions about American politics and lotsa money, which he spends 0n expensive toys. Not a bad fellow, but an "American treasure? LOL
Micaja I don’t know what’s shallow about a tv personality willing to tel the truth about an insurrectionist, he was a lot more mild than most on Humpty Dumpty , maybe u believe his lies but most people can see right through the most embarrassing moment in our country’s history , trying to upend the very constitution that tjis country was built on . The only shallow one is DJT
@@MiCajaDelIdiota isn’t just a wonder to know what’s very important to so many people ? Makes me cry
Friend Of mine Met him in grand forks ND The old westward Ho Before Jay was like Uber famous Was really sweet to my friend I think Because my friend had no idea who he was !! Invited him to come out to Las Vegas !
When I think I couldn't admire Jay more, I watch this. What a fantastic person.
This man is a treasure . Thankyou for this . He knows he’s not perfect . He knows he doesn’t know everything. He’s gracious enough to understand people’s different perspectives of which some he doesn’t agree . All of that is fine . Life’s a balance . I think he’s got it . We can’t all be the same .most people cannot face themselves and would rather change other minds to keep things comfortable. In my opinion you see no better than the next . No more entitled than the next . Awareness is amazing and it’s great that it’s encouraged. Be sure to see all perspectives otherwise you could get stuck in misery . Like he says you’d go to a surgeon not someone who talks the talk . Being open and being on the fence is also ok . Be your own master of your own destiny rather than being a puppet in someone else’s narrative .
@@bryancordoves240are the voices in the room with us right now?
Yes, Biden is a great surgeon!! And a great pilot!! And great Amtrak rider!! He is just a lousy president
The economy actually is doing better, inflation is lower, unemployment is down. Sadly not everyone is experiencing it. COVID hurt us in many ways. Biden is doing what any president could. At least he hasn't passed a bill giving huge tax cuts to corporations and the ri ch.
@@shirleyrombough8173 the tax bill is still in place until 2025. Under trump there was no wars and the economy was doing great and everyone was happy and thriving. Under Biden he forced everyone to take the vaccine like a dictator and giving other countries more money and more attention than even his own country. His open border policy is a joke. He can’t even communicate a complete sentence and you’re saying he’s doing everything a president could do?
I go back and forth on Piers. Great interview I must say.
I'm floored by how humble and "non-Hollywood" Jay is, which made him perfect for the role of host. I leave this interview wondering why Carson was so against him taking over the Show. He seems impossible to dislike on a personal level.
Shortly after 38:00 Jay Leno says *"I still use Happy Meal coupons",* that really says it all. He's salt-of-the-Earth, authentic. This was a good, humble, honest interview.
25 years after Jay left the tonight show. Jay has aged like a fine wine. Piers Morgan in this uncensored long form is also as good as it gets. What a wonderful surprise this has been. This type of conversational alchemy is quite rare. 2 hours just flew by. Thank You for this.
25 years? What??? Jay left the Tonight Show twice. First in 2009 and again in 2014. That is 15 and 10 years, respectively. Where did you get 25 from?
@@trekkiejunk ..2+2=5 you know...The dumbing down of America is in full swing...
@trekkiejunk yes, of course you are correct. I fkd up the math pretty good didn't i?! I should have checked that before knee jerking off my excited response. I was hurrying actually, Ravens and Cheifs were starting. No excuse though. My bad + sincere apologies.
@deketk well your second mistake was somehow appreciating the imbecile that is Piers Morgan, can't believe that Jay let him into his garage. I'm sure it was the first and last time.
He aged like a bad fart the older he gets the more he stinks, what a loser, biden's fans all have that in common.
Piers and Jay together are great listening. Love that Jay states his feeling about TFG.
I remember Lenos Charlie Sheen story, he made fun of the limo trouble story in air and had Rob Schneider come as Charlie Sheen. It was hilarious and I still remember that episode 25-30 years later
Love Jay Leno, really down to earth and a nice person through and through!
