I have to imagine that Jay Leno is the happiest man in the world. He made his bones in comedy, did the talk show hosting, was respectable and good at it. Has all the cars in the world that he wants and he spends his later years just doing what ever he wants to do.. that generally involves his car collection, cudos too him.
@@roy1157 Conan was offered a deal to host the biggest late night talk show on US tv, he got the job, but he didn't manage to pull in the viewership, so they replaced him with Jay Leno, so he didn't really DO anything other than saying yes to a job offer. A lot of people criticize Leno like he backstabbed Conan for taking his job, but to be fair, Conan was getting replaced even if Leno had said no. People SHOULD be mad at the network for ditching Conan O'brien so fast and not giving him a proper chance, not Leno personally, but people love acting like the hosts were the only ones involved with the decision, even though the decision to ditch Conan came straight from the network.
@@NunYurbis You missed out the fact that NBC and Jay Leno were both sabatoging the Tonight Show by trying to move it to 12:05, to which Conan refused since it's destroying the tradition of the Tonight Show, and Jay should have known that and refused. I know you said that it's all the Network's fault for ditching Conan, but Jay could have not agreed to it. Jay could have always said No, but he didn't because he wanted to host The Tonight Show again
jeremy isnt even 1/16th of the car guy leno is. jay works on his own stuff knowing wrenching is 1/2 of the part of being a gearhead jeremy crys and complains when he has to check his oil (if he even knows how [doubtful]) as evident by the diy caterham episode where he bitched and moaned the whole time.
euroaaRON1 Clarkson changed his oil and spark plugs faster than May or Hammond. I get your point that he sucks with tools but he can definitely check the oil if he can change it
+Jamie Williamson. Leno owns many right drive cars, but he probably doesn't drive them as much in the twists above Malibu. Left/Right: whatever you're not used to is awkward. I find that my left is my dominant steering hand, even if I drive an automatic lease car. What I find awkward is not the hand but the shift pattern. Having low gears close and high away from your leg in non UK/Aussie cars becomes the feel I'm used to (you heard him say he'd missed a gear on a former turn) When I teach stick to a new driver in the US, I'm shifting for them at first so they can concentrate on the clutch. That feels wierd as the reverse must feel wierd to you Brits. Lap time on an airstrip rally course in an econobox re-done sedan/saloon car with straight line suspension must be a real time hole. Yes it would be better if they all drove the same car, BUT the lap isn't that important. The interview is the thing, the lap is just an excuse to have the celebrities on TG. Great interview by both men.
Leno on the one wife, you have to have a little background to get the comment. His predecessor Johnny Carson was married 4 times, the last two divorces cost him fortunes. Carson got $25 million/year to do the Tonight Show when it ended after 30 years. Jay was there for 20 give or take, and he saved every cent of the $30 million/yr he was getting at the end. He lived nicely on what he earned doing standup. He can play with all those $100s of millions now and he does so by buying cars he likes
Also he made tonnes of money doing gigs and private events while working the tonight show. Apparently all his cars were bought with money he made from comedy and the money from the Tonight Show just went into the bank.
Leno only did the comedy gigs and such to fund his love for cars, he never wanted to make a career out of it, it was just a hobby for him. He loved doing it, but it wasn't his true love.
Alex Higham Doesn't it seem that us Americans will admit that other countries have better so and so than us but other countries will never admit we have better so and so. Seems like a lot of countries have hate for the US.
Alex Higham Agreed. Americans do make really good car shows, but it's better if they can chose their own style and technique. I like Roadkill - those guys are funny, and really good. It isn't a Brit show transplanted, it's an American show. I'm an Australian. We have a TopGear Australia. It's pretty much rubbish. We can do car shows, and a few of them have been pretty good, but TG Au isn't.
I've lost count of how many times I've watched this episode, but it never gets old - especially the story with undercover police officers :) and the fact that Jeremy Clarkson and Jay Leno are very much the same character/personality from different countries makes it that much better.
I have enormous respect for Jay Leno. I don't particularly care for his late night talk show career but I think his head is in the right place for motoring. He collects cars for an archival purpose. He wants to have an example of every single "interesting" car ever made, whether that is a Bugatti Chiron or a Lamborghini Miura. Hell he spends his fortune to not only curate supercars, he produces videos so I can enjoy them vicariously through his collection.
There's a longstanding (though unconfirmed) story that actually, Jay's never spent ANY of the money he made from all his years hosting the 'Tonight Show' and instead used the money he got from his comedy tours and endorsement deals to help fund his garage/collection. So along with his statement of 'having only one woman and 150 cars', I respect his financial sense to not blow his fortune in pursuit of his passion for all things motoring.
I found it Interesting that while they were listing all of the cars that he had, Leno honestly looked uncomfortable. Everyone is likely thinking "Over 100 cars = $$$$" but Leno is just about the cars. Say what you want about the guy, but despite having millions upon millions of dollars, Leno is still a pretty humble guy.
Well as anyone who watches Top Gear knows, Brits are (for some strange reason) resentful towards people that are proud of their accomplishments and want to flaunt their success in any way. I guess it's that typical intellectual moral superiority that occurs when people are well educated in information, but have relatively little in the way of diverse life experiences, causing them to unintentionally act REALLY judgmental towards anyone not like themselves. Jay is definitely uncomfortable in that moment because he can feel the people in the room starting to judge him for being too 'flash', so he asks them to be honest with themselves. I think what he's done is more than just collect cars, he's created his own historical museum and even place of worship for motoring enthusiasts out of a genuine passion for cars. He could've used that insane sum of money for more altruistic purposes, but instead followed his heart and created an inspirational collection of vehicles that is possibly only eclipsed by the Sultan of Brunai, but that still seems better than the Sultan's because he has made his collection so much more available to anyone with the same passion for petrol that he has.
DottyLomax It cracks me up every time too. When Jay blows the headphones off the sound guys imitating the McLaren F-1 revving. It makes me proud to be a loud obnoxious American.
I'd actually heard Jay tell that story before, but this audience hadn't and that's what made it special hearing it yet again. Love seeing these two gearheads together!
I love Leno, I have such respect for him. The good he’s done and people he has helped. He deserves all the money and cars and stuff he has. He is truly a great person.
Jay Leno is a true America treasure and legend!! He is, in my opinion, the single most knowledgeable and greatest advocate for the appreciate of automotive history, engineering and appreciation in the world today. And on top of ALL of that, he is a genuinely decent, kind human being that has never lost touch with the common man!
A guy here in italy had a system that could rotate the plate numbers and set a fake one up, although after some times he used this method the police was waiting for him, and the he got arrested

Probably one of my favourite TH-cam clips..so sincere from both Jay and Doug...Jay is a legend and Doug is brilliant at what he does, in a few years he may be up there too.
ev3nflow Yes.. But a chevy with a manual gearbox and steeringwheel on the ''wrong'' side. Try finding a new car for sale in america that DOESN'T have an automatic gearbox and i'll honestly be amazed.
I’ve met Jay a few times at the Rock Store in Malibu off Kanan just like he mentions in the story. Once with his Y2K turbine bike even. Just chatted it up like everyone says with him. Such a cool guy I watched this on BBC America when it came out and I’ve prob watched it 3-5 times since. .
Top Gear America would have been a great show if the three hosts were Tanner Faust,Jay Leno and Tim Allen. I could safely say that it could be better than the UK version with those three
Still amazes me there hasnt been an episode, from either people, of them touring jay lenos garage. Possibly the biggest and most popular car junkies looking at possibly the largest and most diverse private collection. It'd be amazing.
Imagine if Jay Leno would periodically come in as a guest host on the UK version of Top Gear? Like when they did the budget supercars episode? Would have been epic!

The story Jay tells about the two drug dealers / police officers is the BEST!
Jay Leno explains America in a nut shell. All cellphones monitored, most gang banger looking folk are undercover.
+Neaple Pinchy Oh shut up, that was in Los Angeles. You should see a dentist to fix those teeth instead of being on the internet.
Assuming all brits have bad teeth eh? Where do you think most white americans came from??
Maybe Mr. Leno's imitation of a high-revving engine was just as good.
As a Brit expat, I object to the insinuation that all Brits have bad teeth. It's no more than 70%.
Jay Leno is actually a good driver. I am surprised he scored so mid-pack. I would have definitely thought he was faster than Mark Walburg.
+Eightosaurus Spelunk Left hand shifting is gotta' suck... Every car should have the McLaren F1 seating layout!

That feels wierd as the reverse must feel wierd to you Brits.

Jay's show, Jay's Garage is really interesting. He's a great storyteller and I love his passion for cars.
Me too. it's so easy to tell that cars are his life's passion and the tonight show was just his job
The story about his father buying the Ford Galaxie is one of the funniest bits ever.

Jay is such a good sport!. Not only that he has an indepth knowledge of all of the vehicles he owns. Nice guy!. Nuff said.
1:56
“Lets talk about your cars”
“How much time you got?”
“I got one woman and 150 cars.” Keys to success 😂😂💯
150 keys
Never ge tired of hearing that story. 2 great car legends!
i love how Clarkson introduced Jay Leno with the cool wall behind him and in 1 second hes on the stage past a whole crowd of people shaking hands lol
The teleporting magic of television
ah, my two top car people.
COOL INTERVIEW , IT CAUGHT ME , THANKS JAY AS WELL...
4:26 - 5:13 is the best story I've ever heard
Jay is an excellent comedian and great comedians are awesome storytellers.
Jay Leno, Tim Allen, Jerry Seinfeld. That’s the perfect US top gear trio.
The way he tells the story you can tell he's a succesfull standup comedian.
