I'll tell you what's wrong with Orny Adams: absolutely nothing. This is a FANTASTIC interview. I watched the whole thing from start to finish, and not once did my attention wane. I found it extremely enjoyable and informative. I'm glad I caught it.
Never seen Jay do more than an hour with anyone, you Orny must be someone special he enjoys being around, thus you got an hour and a half out of Jay. Very insightful interview.
Great interview, Orny! I used to work at NBC back in the 80s and remember seeing Jay come in to meet with the execs. He was so quiet and low key. I love his story about working for less, which earned him the permanent guest host spot. His refusal to engage all the people who trash talk him is admirable. And what he did for the production staff by taking a salary cut was beyond generous. The world would be a better place if there were more people like Jay.
You’ve got that priceless Carson trait. Yes, you know when to jump in the driver seat and move the show, but you also know when to (respectfully) shut up and listen. It’s a lovely thing.
Orny, what a great interview with a comedy legend like Jay! I’m going to be binging all of your podcasts in the next few days. I’m only sorry I didn’t discover them sooner. Good stuff, man!
Hi there again Orny. Just finished listening to this one twice... Great interview. You and Jay were like two old buddies talking about the good ol' days. The good AND not so good... It wasnt like an interview at all. Felt like i was sat in there with you. I feel I'll be hearing a whole lot more from you... So glad i stumbled across you about a week or so back. Thanks again for this fantastic podcast. Much respect to you both for your openness and honesty. Bob. England, UK 🤗🙏
@@ornyadams Oh yes. Absolutely. Mentioned you earlier to a good friend who just LOVES comedy. I'll keep on at him or even to put you on when I'm at his place next... Gotta share this. Such a breath of fresh air you bring to the table. Much love and respect for your passion and talent. Gratias. Bob (you know where lol) Thanks again Orny :) (old school lol)
I LOVE THAT YOU AND JAY WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE PLACES YOU GREW UP IN MASS. I WAS BORN IN LOWELL AND NOW I LIVE AROUND NASHVILLE TN. TO DO COUNTRY MUSIC THAT I LOVE. BUT I STILL ENJOY TALKING ABOUT THE PAST OF LIVING IN MASSACHUSETTS. I ALSO GREW UP WITH REX TRAILER, JAY WILL KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT WITH THAT ONE. GREAT POD CAST, I LOVED IT. THANKS
MASS! Thanks Paul. How are things in Nashville? Hope you check out other episodes of my podcast and my stand up comedy. And share my comedy with others... that helps me.
Hi Orny - Thanks again for a great podcast with Jay Leno. Jay is a unique and cool guy. He is not like many of the "typical Hollywood" that have a big ego. But you are also a cool guy Orny. I will continue to be a fan. Shout out from Texas.
First time caller here lol. I’m only here for Leno. Love listening and watching Jay. I think I’ve seen everything from him the last few years lol. Now, down the rabbit hole of this podcast 😂😂. Great interview 🙏
Thanks Aaron-- how is the Orny habit hole going? Have you seen my MORE THAN LOUD special? Hope to see you at one of my shows and please share my comedy with family and friends. And people you randomly meet on the street.
GREAT GREAT GREAT --- BEST INTERVIEW OF JAY --- REALLY NATURAL, COMFORTABLE, REAL --- FEELS LIKE AUDIENCE IS THERE IN THE ROOM WITH THEM, GOOD FRIENDS SHARING STORIES.
Orny , when are u coming to westchester co. NY or levity live in west nyack over the bridge in rockland county . Westchester u can play the Capitol theatre in port chester , tarrytown playhouse in tarrytown or paramount theatre in peekskill ? Love when your on carollas pod and bantering with him for 2 hours , one of his best guest , your hilarious 😅😊👍
This interview is an absolute treasure! Orny asks honest and insightful questions that Jay was keen to answer because he could sense that he was talking with someone that was not only a comedic genius, but also was a true student of the genre and had respect for the history and the craft of comedy. Jay gave answers that were incredibly insightful, historical, and honest. Just a great interview that is a treasure trove of wisdom and history.
Taking a 50% pay cut so all his staff could keep their jobs. What a great human being! How many overpaid corporate manager's/CEO's would do the same for their employees?
Love Jay if he only knew we drove a '59 bel air 283 4 barrel, completely restored, 100 point NCRS, cross country just to see him after Johnny Carson retired, all the way from Ocean City, Maryland, at 16 years old 😅
Hey Orny, only came across your podcast now bc I'm a huge Jay Leno fan since the mid 90s. I watched his early Letterman stuff on Don Giller TH-cam channel, which is amazing btw. Leno seems like such a nice guy, also great that you let him talk. Great pod.
Where have you been, my whole Life..😉. You Are an awesome, Cool comedian, i watched one of your shows Late, last night, i lmao. Ps Miss you Jay Leno PSs Now Listening to your pod casts…
The problem with writing someone in show business a letter is that none of them would ever give you the time of day, let alone read your letter. Which saddens me. It's like once people make it to the big time, they forget what it was like to wish someone was there to help you out.
At runtime 31:00 . . . ORNY: "All this money: is it good for anything?" JAY: "It just accentuates what you are. If you're a prick it makes you a bigger prick. If you're a nice person it makes you a nicer person." OH SO-O-O TRUE! 👍👍
Jimmy Fallon was seen as the future of The Tonight Show by NBC. The whole 10PM Leno Show was to eventually replace Conan with Fallon. Weird Conan with his string dance, was not a fit on The Tonight Show.
@@ornyadams You having the thought to pick up those car parts for Jay to identify was brilliant! I'll bet on most days, Jay would have been all over that. Just because he didn't happen to be, does not make it any less brilliant. Even the name is perfect. Fabulous! --- I do share and speak of your comedy. The closest you get to me is Sarasota. I'm going to have to come down. Otherwise, if you ever get to Tampa/Clearwater....I'm there. Rock on.
I think he's competitive by nature and it hurt his feelings that the car parts questions were too hard. Plus he's 74, I reckon you get tired, I'm 57 and I do
I worked at NBC Studios in ‘95-96 for Jay Leno in IT. He was always informed and sharp, great man. Love him. Great pod cast Orny! ❤
That's so cool! Thanks. Hope you share my comedy and come see one of my shows.
@@ornyadams I do! You’re awesome, never stop ❤️
@@ornyadamshorny , orny ! Always promoting your shows 😅😅😊
Orny, I have to thank you for actually letting Leno speak and be so respectful and listen. Keep doing great work, love it!!
Thanks! Have you watched any of my comedy? Hope you share me with others... get the secret out!
Excellent job on this one, Orny. Cool the way you inspired his insightful remark about "A Christmas Carol" at 1:07:54.
It was such a thrill and honor to have Jay on my podcast. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the tip.
Orny Adams is a great listener. Well done.
Agree 💯. He's not like Howard Stern, who talks too much.
I'll tell you what's wrong with Orny Adams: absolutely nothing.
This is a FANTASTIC interview. I watched the whole thing from start to finish, and not once did my attention wane. I found it extremely enjoyable and informative. I'm glad I caught it.
Thank you Orney for letting Jay Leno just talk. Great listening skills there.
Thanks! Hope you check out other episodes of my podcast and come to one of my shows.
Awesome interview Orny! Kudos for Jay to come to your place as well. You're moving up my Buddy :)
Great show! Love Jay Leno, and you too Orney!
Great interview. I like how you allow guests to finish their thoughts. A+
Never seen Jay do more than an hour with anyone, you Orny must be someone special he enjoys being around, thus you got an hour and a half out of Jay. Very insightful interview.
Love hearing this.

That is quite a compliment. Thank you! Hope to see you at one of my shows..... please subscribe and share my comedy... that helps me a lot.
I could listen for another hour+! Great interview! Love this pod Orny!
Orny, what a great interview with a comedy legend like Jay! I’m going to be binging all of your podcasts in the next few days. I’m only sorry I didn’t discover them sooner. Good stuff, man!
Two great, decent guys. Loved the interview. Thanks for keeping the comedy very funny through the years, without obscenities. ❤
Nice of Jay to shout out Dry Bar. It's worth a listen.
What great interview. Very fun, thoroughly enjoyed!
Love Jay Leno. Great guy.
Orny, your combination of dignity and familiarity is very likable.
I am happy to hear this! Have you watched any of my comedy? Hope you share me with others... get the secret out!

This is so cool that you got Jay Leno in a trailer in your backyard. That is just so cool. 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽
Hooray! The Flamingo picture is back.
Great interview Orny. I hope Jay is okay. He's lost a lot of weight.
What about my weight? Ha. Thanks.
Jay looks the same in his denim shirts, same face , hair , no unusual weight loss
I love that you have Jay on here and he’s a reasonable person.
He's great!
“I feel like I’m fighting Nigeria for my inheritance.” That is a great joke
Street cleaner noise 😂😂😂😂😂
Great interview!! Love Jay...and Orny!
52:12 - after putting the phone down, Jay should have deadpanned, "That was Conan.... guess that's it for another 15 years."
A Riff-litic interview! I was introduced to the Johnny Carson monologue through the movie, "Oh God" with George Burns.
Great guy, Jay Leno!
I LOVE THAT YOU AND JAY WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE PLACES YOU GREW UP IN MASS. I WAS BORN IN LOWELL AND NOW I LIVE AROUND NASHVILLE TN. TO DO COUNTRY MUSIC THAT I LOVE. BUT I STILL ENJOY TALKING ABOUT THE PAST OF LIVING IN MASSACHUSETTS. I ALSO GREW UP WITH REX TRAILER, JAY WILL KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT WITH THAT ONE. GREAT POD CAST, I LOVED IT. THANKS

I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU SAID… AS SOON AS I SAW THE FULL CAPS, I STOPPED READING!
Hi Orny - Thanks again for a great podcast with Jay Leno. Jay is a unique and cool guy. He is not like many of the "typical Hollywood" that have a big ego. But you are also a cool guy Orny. I will continue to be a fan. Shout out from Texas.

Fantastic interview
Thanks Jack! Have you seen any of my stand up?

Great show
OA, you’re a great listener, I admire that! 💜
Taking a 50% pay cut so all his staff could keep their jobs. What a great human being! How many overpaid corporate manager's/CEO's would do the same for their employees?
I really enjoyed this interview. You asked some great questions
Thanks! It was a thrill having Jay on. Hope you get a chance to check out other episodes of my podcast and my stand up comedy.
Had to double back as the thumbnail had me thinking Elon Musk was on a pod with Leno.
Elon wishes he was as hot as me!
"Get the kids outta the pool, hun! SHARKS!." -Jay Leno
Love Jay if he only knew we drove a '59 bel air 283 4 barrel, completely restored, 100 point NCRS, cross country just to see him after Johnny Carson retired, all the way from Ocean City, Maryland, at 16 years old 😅
Wonderful conversation!
Thanks! Hope you share my comedy with others and come see a show.
Where was Tim Conway jr at for this 🤔 . ORNY gonna need to get timmy and Jay together on the podcasts. ORNY you da MANE! 💪
Ask him!
watched the entire vid - 2 of my fav comedians. Nice to hear a less polished side from both with personal stories.
Orny and Jay, professionals. Thank you.
Hey Orny, only came across your podcast now bc I'm a huge Jay Leno fan since the mid 90s. I watched his early Letterman stuff on Don Giller TH-cam channel, which is amazing btw. Leno seems like such a nice guy, also great that you let him talk. Great pod.

Where have you been, my whole Life..😉. You Are an awesome, Cool comedian, i watched one of your shows Late, last night, i lmao. Ps Miss you Jay Leno PSs Now Listening to your pod casts…
Exactly, news is now entertainment.
I watched The Tonight Show every day when Jay hosted. Everyone else just wasn't as good.
30:50 "Thatched roof" 😂😂😂
Orny come to VA and do a comedy festival?
🍀👍🍀😊nice segment, nice qest

I read everything. I respond as best I can.
"All with one eye"..... jajaja
Jay has gradually turned into one of the aliens from This Island Earth
I doesn't depress him, Orny, 'cause he has a lot more FU money.😎
Josh Sneed is clean and one of the funniest
Fighting Nigeria for my inheritance 😂
If you are a car guy watching, the 1st question we are thinking is, "What was Jay driving that day?" Haha
I'm not a car guy and I think that.
I really liked the idea of the game at the end, shame it didn't go to plan.
At runtime 31:00 . . .
ORNY: "All this money: is it good for anything?"
JAY: "It just accentuates what you are. If you're a prick it makes you a bigger prick. If you're a nice person it makes you a nicer person."
OH SO-O-O TRUE! 👍👍
Jimmy Fallon was seen as the future of The Tonight Show by NBC.

Weird Conan with his string dance, was not a fit on The Tonight Show.
Try getting Jerry Seinfeld.
It would be fun to hear you guys talk about Comedian movie.
Brady lost 30 million on bitcoin, nice to hear Jay puld live on half that😅 sending from my shoebox at sawgrass
I think the Crash Test game could be a thing. Perhaps something for the Top Gear folks. Good interview though...95 minutes flew by.
Thanks JP! A lot of people like the Crash Test game. Hope you share my comedy and come see one of my shows.

Look for the union label when you are watching a Jay Leno show
Leno has like an early-1970's Elvis mane.
At the beginning Jay's voice sound like Biden
Does Orny live on a houseboat?
Jay has perfect hair.😂 Seriously though there’s a dark side to him and I think it has to do with his brother dying in Vietnam.
I thought Jay was kind of rude at the end.
I think he's competitive by nature and it hurt his feelings that the car parts questions were too hard. Plus he's 74, I reckon you get tired, I'm 57 and I do
First!
The crash test leno bit.....total fail...he couldn't be less interested
whys leno always bashing Trump supporters ? Get on the wagon Jay .. hes going to be YOUR president soon
Jay Leno really really old. He looks awful. He is ancient
Well, he is 74 years old and has a seriously ill wife. I imagine that would age a person.
