I saw Leno in Vegas do a two hour standup show. He had me laughing so hard my stomach muscles hurt. Jay's a great showman and all his humor in family rated, nothing risqué or vulgar.
The worst thing they ever did was replace Leno. He was number one in the ratings and if he was still working today, he would still be number one in the ratings. I don’t watch Fallon at all.
I think the idea of Jay leaving and being replaced by Conan O Brian was a great idea, rhe problem was that they gave Jay Leno his own show which came on BEFORE the Tonight Show, so it wasn't like Jay left. That in itself hindered any chance for Conan to succeed. It made more sense for Conan to succeed Jay than Jimmy Fallon honestly. But NBC botched it.
Same Fallon tries hard bless his soul but he can't fill Lenos shoes should of just started something new like new format it's just boring how he does it
I think that the very last contestant, who entered the stage last, with the white hair and who was standing next to the kid, at the right, should have been nominated, as the real number#1.
He did a two hour standup at a 300 person Jewish event many years ago. We all thought he was gonna suck because we're pretty tough comedy critics, but he knocked it out of the park. The annual event never had anybody as funny since then.
It's literally why Carson and Leno were so important I think. Because a lot of us would fall asleep and that last part of our day we needed a lift for 10 or 20 minutes we could laugh and a little smile turn the TV off and go to sleep. And all the shit was over. Wake up the next day and hopefully not as much shit happened. That's why the good late night comedians are so missed nowadays. I kind of like Stephen Colbert he's about the one I choose most at 11:30 at night. If I'm still awake since I'm so old. LOL
He has been a guest on Top Gear (UK) where he came across very well - a decent chap and the way he shows and shares his car collection without it being a 'look at me, look how rich I am' show, says a lot about the man.
@@itzamia I've NEVER watched Fallons show. I should say full show. I tried, but didn't feel it. Saw a bunch of highlights in which I never thought any late night now are funny. Dave Chapelle would be hilarious if they'd give him one of the spots.
February 23, 2004 this aired. Good times. Thanks for posting. Had a lot of laughs with my dad at the end of the day with Leno. Now it’s re-runs on TH-cam 👍🏻
I Was on vacation at Ocean city Md. up on the 12th floor. The room mini fridge kept making a strange noise and was not cooling. so I called the front desk and they said they would send a guy up to replace it. The guy they sent looked just like Leno with coveralls on LOL 😃😃. I kept thinking am on TV I kept looking around for a camera.
one time I seen a dude at the gas station that looked exactly like my brother. I knew it wasn't my bother but I had to keep starting. dude caught me like 3 times looking at him.
now this is how to do a late night show. we know this man is a lefty but u would never know it from his shows because he is a professional and not an emotionally disturbed person.
@@scribe570 u are funny. actually i dont. its the clowns who breathe it down our necks that see life as politics. the late night show hosts only do Trump hate, i dont think they have done any actual jokes since Trump came into office.
Leno set the Indian guy up but he missed it: "You're from India, do they get our show over there?" "No... I mean, it's on the TV there, but nobody gets it."
@@QuattroZack1OK, that was pushing the envelope. However, he was humorously saying how he looks good even as a woman. I agree he could have worded it differently.
yeah everythings gone down the toilet and its a world of low IQ humour and morons that arent funny these days and they always try to sneak that woke garbage in there too
Perhaps you've never heard of Craig Ferguson.... you should try him out....I like Jay and others but I've never laughed as hard as I've laughed at Craig.... he was absolutely hilarious....

I can watch Jay doing headlines all day long.
same
I could watch Jay do a whole show about nothing but headlines.
Me too!
It too was also my favorite part of his show. I miss his show!!!
There are PLENTY of those shows on TH-cam! Have fun!
Me too
I don’t believe you
jay ... still ... nobody compares
All the Leno "look-a-likes" could be #2. But, I think the "kid Leno" was the right pick for #1.
No. 3 was easily the best.
Yes 3 was the best, had the small mouth, chin, and sounded a little like Jay.
absotudidly
#3 by far should've won. The others weren't even close.
I saw Leno in Vegas do a two hour standup show. He had me laughing so hard my stomach muscles hurt. Jay's a great showman and all his humor in family rated, nothing risqué or vulgar.
Yes.. mostly it is so
That's the way we grow them in Massachusetts...
Cause he is TV trained that watch every word they say.
Still you are right a good comedian doesn't need profanity and dirty humour.
Apparently back in the day, before he got the show, he was the number 2 standup comic. I didn’t realize he was famous before he was famous.
does he have any special on stand up?
Just when you think, hey, there are more flattering things than to be called a Jay Leno lookalike, they bring out a FEMALE Jay Leno lookalike.
This is why I love Jay Leno. He’s such a great sport and down to Earth guy.
This was more fun, now we have nonstop scrolling on our phones.
The part where the tracking slider pops up is my favorite. Good ol' VHS recording.
The worst thing they ever did was replace Leno. He was number one in the ratings and if he was still working today, he would still be number one in the ratings. I don’t watch Fallon at all.

Me either! Leno could never be replaced 😢😊
There's nothing on TV anymore. Nothing.
@@Splash_of_FreedomWhat is "TV"?
Same Fallon tries hard bless his soul but he can't fill Lenos shoes should of just started something new like new format it's just boring how he does it
highschool dude said "everyone calls me leno, nobody even knows my real name" hahahaha
I think that the very last contestant, who entered the stage last, with the white hair and who was standing next to the kid, at the right, should have been nominated, as the real number#1.
I thought the same, Number 8 should have been nominated first place, the kid should be second, and the woman should remain 3 rd.
Let's just enjoy a time when late-night shows were not infused with 90% of political opinions.
when late-night shows weren't the media wing of the radical black supremacist censoring bribe-dementia supporting far left
Great stuff. Glad Jay is ok after being burned recently. He's a regular guy that can mix with any crowd. Sure miss him on late night tv.
At least now we get to see him ride his cars in Jay's Garage 😂.
He did a two hour standup at a 300 person Jewish event many years ago. We all thought he was gonna suck because we're pretty tough comedy critics, but he knocked it out of the park. The annual event never had anybody as funny since then.
What does that mean? @thinkb4yousuxkboots
When the Tonight Show was still funny.
And not HATEFUL!
Truth!
Before Party approved Correct Speech and Allowed Thinking
That kid looks JUST LIKE a young Leno!
These shows are Priceless.
I used to fall asleep to the tonight show. Smiling and laughing

I always love these
Young guy really did look like Jay when he was young!
Jay was the best, we miss you
What a fun throwback! I loved it!!❤
He has been a guest on Top Gear (UK) where he came across very well - a decent chap and the way he shows and shares his car collection without it being a 'look at me, look how rich I am' show, says a lot about the man.
Thanks for the recent upload with this, I never saw these ones before!
Miss Jays show
Haven't watched The Tonight Show since Jay left and loved headliners. Great personality and Godspeed.
I love the younger version 😅
Jay was never vicious or mean never took. political sides and was a gentleman I miss him
I miss the 90s tonight show with Jay. We were sad when Johnny Carson left but Jay did pretty good over the years
And now it's Jimmy Fallon. So much for that.
@@itzamia I've NEVER watched Fallons show. I should say full show. I tried, but didn't feel it. Saw a bunch of highlights in which I never thought any late night now are funny. Dave Chapelle would be hilarious if they'd give him one of the spots.
@@itzamia never was a Fallon fan.
Craig Ferguson was funny, Conan is great.
Back when the Tonight Show was watchable. Not political & hateful.
I really loved the headline segment!
That guy is incredible! And his car collection,,,,,beyond incredible!

Jay Leno is the funniest comedian ever!! I wish he still did these shows. I love to laugh.

That poor kid totally missed the "your momma" joke there. That was hilarious though!
Loved his show. A real funny guy. Today's late nights shows suck
Political bias.
I had forgotten how funny the "headlines" segments were. Great stuff!
It was so nice when late night shows delivered light, clever, and healthy entertainment. Nowadays is mostly hateful politics and fear mongering.
now this is how to do a late night show. we know this man is a lefty but u would never know it from his shows because he is a professional and not an emotionally disturbed person.
Interesting that you see all of life as politics. That's sad. It's soul sucking to view everything that way. Turn it off and smell the roses.
@@scribe570 u are funny. actually i dont. its the clowns who breathe it down our necks that see life as politics. the late night show hosts only do Trump hate, i dont think they have done any actual jokes since Trump came into office.
How can you tell he’s left-handed?
@@scribe570 sigh.. you tried... lol
Love Jay 💖 so glad he healed good from those burns. Sad
Most of those lookalikes had jays lisp as well
The headlines were always my favorite segment 🤣
I laughed out loud watching these ones.
Leno set the Indian guy up but he missed it:
"You're from India, do they get our show over there?"
"No... I mean, it's on the TV there, but nobody gets it."
Dang I miss this segment.
I miss the “good” humor. Funny, touching, meaningful, and not a bad word.
Except for the whole bit about saying he’d have sex with the lady right there in front of everyone
@@QuattroZack1OK, that was pushing the envelope. However, he was humorously saying how he looks good even as a woman. I agree he could have worded it differently.
yeah everythings gone down the toilet and its a world of low IQ humour and morons that arent funny these days and they always try to sneak that woke garbage in there too
Thank you for sharing … wonderful clip.
THANK YOU!
I used to stay up late watching the tonight show with Jay when I was in high school.
I literally would always laugh on headlines. Jay is a legend and will be sorely missed these were the years I really enjoyed the Tonight Show.
Why the long face?
Just HORSing Around? HAaaaay!!!😁🐎🚂! I ***
I like both Jim AND Dwight.😍
Rare gem of a celebrity
I hope Jay keeps up with his lookalikes, and maybe have a get together with them, it would be soo cool!
Please Jay!! Comeback and save late night! I’m Begging you!!!
those jay leno's where on fire.
you should be too eejit
Crazy to know how many folks have a look-alike in life.
I met mine at 11years old,.. it freaked me out.
I look just like the guy from Phish.....its fun to go to Burlington vermont and fool people!!!
I’ve been mistaken for someone else quite often. Weird. Used to have a neighbor. . . we could have been twins. Also weird.
OMG I miss his show
I'm so glad I finally got to see his show in it's last years. Always enjoyed it. Nothing comparable now.
When the Tracking pop up came on it brought me back to the 90s.
They should all go out to lunch together. That would be a hoot!
For all around authenticity I have to give it to "number 1"
Vinny -
Voice, ethnicity, looks, accent.
I really wish we could get all the Headlines Jay ever did on dvd or blu ray.
VHS would be nice also
Jay is such a good sport about everything.
Would have been cool if they had brought out the guy who played him in Late Shift
This was the good old days. Before insanity STRUCK!! Come HOME!!! Please?? How did our lives take Such an evil turn?? I miss US!!! COME BACK!!!
I really enjoyed this show!
The front of the cereal box says it's made of corn. If it's raisin bran, it ought to be bran flour.
#6 was the best lookalike! Jimmy still answers to Jay wherever he goes.
Better than Kimmel, Colbert, and Fallon combined!
I agree. I liked Leno better than Letterman too.
Leno is a legend, hope he gets better after his burn accident. Better than all late nite comedy these days.
Perhaps you've never heard of Craig Ferguson.... you should try him out....I like Jay and others but I've never laughed as hard as I've laughed at Craig.... he was absolutely hilarious....
@@christophermccord3316 Yes, I've. He too is much better than Kimmel, Fallon, and Colbert combined.
But not Conan. Cope!
That was a fun watch.
Jay busts me up ! 😆👍🏻
He should have told the kid: "you realize this means you'll look like me in 40 years!"
I think that was implied.
@@allendracabal0819 Yes, still would've been a hoot if he said it.
Female - check
Immigrant/minority - check
actual lookalike - check
100% right
The last one, Goddamn it!
Everybody loves Jay!
Awesome. I never saw this one.
such fun! and good ole Owen Wilson made the same picks I made in my own little way :)
Owen's voice is so distinctive. Between Jay and Owen, I think all the men in Hollywood do an impression of both of them.
3rd place 🥉 “Wooooow”
Jay show was the bes ....if he say something you laugh..if he laugh definitely you go crazy... Was humble guy , very funny smiles so kind....
When late night was still worth watching. 👍
Good grief I miss Jay!!
Considering they said Leno would never make it becasue he wasn't nice looking and his chin was too big, god must have liked the design.
That first Jay look-alike sounds exactly like the J Leno on family guy
I miss Jay Walking where he goes on the streets and finds dumb people.
You can do it yourself! They are everywhere these days!
I remember Jay Leno on Good Times when J.J. had to get go the clinic for v.d. Him and Jimmie Walker are longtime friends.
Letterman was part of that crowd, too.
Super cool
:53 - sounds like a great song title !
loki season 2 looks BANANAS
My three favourite lookalikes were picked by wow.
Wow!
The last guy looked the most like Jay.
If contestant #3 grayed his hair, I would've voted for him.
That 2nd place guy looks like Erik Estrada.
Kid should have said "mom says hi"
Golly what a surprise.
At 2:22 you can get the date of this broadcast: Dec 2003.
#1 was kid Leno for sure
That was fun.
Wow
