The best thing about Jay Leno is he actually knows about cars, appreciates everything, and drives everything. There is no better car collector and car care taker than him!
The amount of knowledge Jay has of obscure elements of automotive history is astounding. It's always impressive to hear him talk about how things were designed, built, and how they operate.
The Cali government needs to confiscate all of his cars. Leno is a cars for me, but not for thee type of guy. Then he can spend more quality time with his good pals Meat-head and Barbara Streisand.
He is not kidding. I live in San Diego and we had a steam engine part that Jay needed. Basically we were nothing more than a UPS driver. We brought the part up one Saturday morning and he spent about 4 1/2 hours with us. He showed us every car in his two LARGE (Home Depot size) buildings. He drove us around Burbank and even went out on the freeway in two of his vintage cars. If that was not enough he cooked us dinner (he has a full kitchen and a machine shop). Jay Leno is amazing!
@@williamhenry3337 when I was in high school the drinking age in Massachusetts was 18 and we saw Jay in a small club called Lennie’s On The Turnpike on Route 1 north in Peabody, Mass. Jay was just starting out his comedy career. He lived in nearby Andover, Mass and before comedy Jay worked at Wilmington Ford. My son lives in the Hollywood Hills and see’s Jay driving one of his classic cars, all the time. Listening to this episode I can pick up Jay’s Boston accent. 👍🏻
Mr. Leno is an absolute national treasure. His philanthropy, his love of people and our veterans. And his humility. A real hometown boy makes good story. I sincerely hope all is going well with your beloved wife. And that there is peace in your world. Thank you from a grateful fellow car enthusiast.
I disagree - slightly - he is not only a national treasure - he is a global treasure - I love what he is doing so much, he is international anywhere in the free world. He should be protected by the UNESCO.
@@meandthemrs7403 I suspect he is having health issues of some sort..I am two years older than Jay...but I am not losing weight, and my voice is not a little raspy. People do age at differing rates, but Jay looks a little bit frail, compared to even a year ago.
The man knows his cars. It is so interesting just to listen. I now love a Duesenberg. But he is also exquisite on newer cars. He might night admit to loving Ferrari, he still admonishes them.
What an episode! Tom and Jay on a walkabout talking about cars. Love how they both find the history and stories as interesting as the cars themselves. Would like to see more of this.
dear Jay, bit worried, you lost so much weight,and we all understand the stress you are in.Please take good care of yourself, we are all here and need your positive vibes, your humour, your knowledge and your great humanism.
@@burtburt2263 WTF Loss of his wife?? She's suffering from dementia but she's very much alive. He's probably been on pain medication for the burns man, that could've lead to the sudden weight loss.
Jay was the first celebrity I met when I moved to L.A. I worked in Burbank near NBC. I used to see him when I drove to work in the morning. Once he pulled up next to me at a light. He was driving a beautiful Formula One knockoff car. He motioned for me to roll down my window to tell me a brake light was out. I was shocked and thanked him. Told him I loved his car. So he started telling me all about the car. Just a nice guy who loves cars!
There is simply no one better suited to be THE Automotive Ambassador than Jay Leno! His love and passion for ALL things automotive and mechanical is second to none!
Jay is a national treasure. He is looking tired and a bit frail, but who can blame him? Kudos to him for continuing to put out such high-quality videos while still being absolutely dedicated to his wife Mavis.
I was just noticing the same thing with Jay since this stuff with his wife came about. Looks like he's aged 20 years in the last while. Such a shame their love story has such a sad ending. Dementia is so hard on everyone involved.......
A couple of years ago I attended a car show in St. Augustine Florida. There was a "Make A Wish" family there that told a story of touring his garage. Jay wasn't supposed to be there but showed up, personally showed them around, and let them take pictures, sit in cars and they had a great time. It was a personal story and very important to that family. Class.
He is visibly aged. But the weight loss may have been deliberate. Many people reach a fork in the road where they have a lifestyle change in dietary habits and exercise, resulting in significant weight loss. They do this to avoid diabetes, heart disease and dementia. It isn't necessarily stress related.
@@drott150 He talked about this, he calls it the "crash and burn" weight loss programme. First he got scolded with steam working on a steam car and went to hospital, lost some weight. Then he crashed his motorcycle and went to hospital again, lost some more weight.
@@uzivatel56 Yeah maybe. But he certainly looks ambulatory and recovered from those injuries now. I know his wife has dementia and that has to be "weighing" on him. We all shrivel up and die eventually, no matter how famous, rich and popular we may be.
We've all been to Jay's Garage a thousand times (virtually) but every visit is a fresh, unique experience because each tour is tailored to each visitor. This was certainly no exception. Thanks Jay and Tom!
And here’s me desperately trying to get back into a 911 turbo S. life can hit hard and why you least expect it. I hope this collection never gets split up.
I can never listen to Jay without enjoying his complete story, he knows how to deliver the story, simply stated. Thank you, Tom, for having Jay on your show and sharing him with all of us, I enjoyed it.
I've been following Jay Leno RUclips channel for over 10 years. About 10 years ago, I was working in West Africa managing some facilities for an American Oil & Gas company. One of these facilities was a helicopter hanger in an airport (the helicopters were used for crew changing the offshore crew). One of the light fixtures fell and damage of the blades of the helicopter. It was a 10kg halogen light. I had just watched a Jay Leno episode a few weeks earlier about the LED lights that Jay was (and still is) using in his garage. I contacted the company and got the same lights for the hangar. Every time I see an episode I remember this story. 😊
He's sharp as a tack, but you can see in his eyes and in his voice that he is drained. My best wishes to him and his wonderful wife. He is a national treasure. A legend.
I must confess as far as talk show hosts or comedians go, Jay was never on the top of my list but I've come to truly appreciate him as an auto enthusiast. I love that he shares his collection with people and loves to take them for rides in cars the vast majority would never see in a lifetime, let alone ride in. Many collectors of that caliber would keep it to themselves and never risk taking them out on the road at all or take the time to document them. His love and enthusiasm for these machines really comes through
@@stevegrimm6936 time has its way with us all, unfortunately. I've seen people in a lot worse shape at his age, but you can see he is a little more worse for the wear than in previous years
As a comedian/talk-show host, Jay was one of the few who was consistently humble and gracious toward his guests. He was supportive of nervous guests, kind toward children and animals, and he didn't get bent out of shape when a guest (like Robin Williams) might steal the show. Others, like Letterman and Conan O'Brian especially, had mean streaks that would come out fairly frequently, and lacked Jay's genuine warmth. The only other comedian/talk show host who was as gracious toward his guests was Craig Ferguson. Jay and Craig are the only two among their contemporaries whose companionship would provide real human value, in my opinion.
I had the pleasure of touring his garage just before his fuel accident. He was gracious and super nice. He called me personally to set up the timeframe and get things in order. His garage is amazing and he is a great guy. He is just the same in person as he is in the videos.
I’m not a car guy, but I could watch Jay do this all day. His passion is palpable and I respect that he knows the pedigree and mechanics of everything under his roof.
And in person he's just as enjoyable, humorous, humble and real as he is in all his vids. A true living legend who owns the greatest car collection in the history of mankind.
The best thing about Jay is not just his knowledge and love for the cars he buys, he actually got to know either the owner or relative of the owner and tells the cars story so well with respect, thats what makes the car special to him and somehow to us all, we all spend alot of time innour cars and theres a few we loved almost like a great freind or dependable dog and Jay can make you understand the story behind each car and preserves the history, you have to love him for that!
Jay’s knowledge on all things collector cars is unsurpassed. Good thing that so many of his interviews are recorded. No doubt his records and original parts for all the cars are well preserved. So cool.
Jay has been through a lot with his wife's caretaking. He has lost weight and does look like he a little slower. God bless this fella. Ana amazing human being and collector and car-caretaker
So refreshing to hear Jay talk about his cars .. a true collector, with intimate knowledge of practically every machine in his care ... and he drives them all ...
I love it when Jay and Tom get together! The passion and information they have for the classics is undescribable. Stay healthy you two, we need you to teach this generation about the great american love story we have for cars and trucks.
Phenominal! Jay himself! not to mention the cars.. been watching Jay Leno's Garage on RUclips since its beginning... makes my day to see a new video.. Truly a national treasure! thanks Jay
I think I could spend weeks in there, listening to Jay Leno talk in detail about each car he owns and even then I probably still wouldn't want to leave.
Wow. Just Wow. Jay Leno may be best known to the masses for the Tonight Show but this is truly his legacy. I am not a gearhead but I never tire listening to Jay Leno talk cars. His knowledge, passion, and incredible collection make him an ambassador unlike any other. Like your cars, long may you run.
Much greatness to enjoy. Especially Jay. His vast knowledge and a great memory. I spend a lot of time trying to locate my reading glasses until i glance into a mirror and see them perched on my forehead.
There's nobody better than Uncle Jay. He's going to be 74 on the 28th of this month, and is still sharp as a tack. Imagine an actress shows up and says you've got my Grandfather's car? Just Incredible ❤
Jay is the Wikipedia of automotive lore. As Tom says, the affection Jay has for these cars and their stories is so heartwarming. So many classic cars are hidden away in never-seen collections. Thank you, Jay , for your kindness in sharing such a vast collection.
Love these Leno videos of these old cars and their stories. Its amazing his knowledge of cars. Leno was once in my area small city in upstate NY for a stand up show. On his way to the theatre he just stopped at a local hot dog diner thats been there for 50 years. Met the locals and talked for awhile. Just a humble regular dude.
Jay Leno is the perfect person for a car collector he gives a legacy for every vehicle incorporates the story of the previous owners the background of the manufacturers and gives homage to each and every one of them treats them as the car should be and uses them as they were intended to used.
The one & only Person I know that has those many cars and knows every single detail about them, and exposes himself to the "indignities" of bathing in engine oil or transmission fluid and works on all his cars by himself. Absolute living legend of a man and a car enthusiast. I wish to have a garage as big as his, fully filled with all my favorites.
What a beautiful episode of cars and friendship and authentic communication of healthy hearted men. Thanks to all that made, captured, produced, and of course featured in this. So good to see good amongst this falling world.
This will go down as one of the greatest Barn Find podcasts. Jay is a wealth of knowledge in regards to automobile history. So interesting! Thanks for sharing. Well done gentlemen!
NO ONE has better car videos than Jay. As a New Englander of the same vintage as Jay, I’ve always related to his stories about growing up in a small town and seeing a cool car. Great memories!
This is a timeless portrait of the person and professional historian Jay Leno. The interaction of knowledge domains was great, and Hagerty is the perfect host.
Jay is a American legend to me, great performer on comedy, and just a incredible car guy ,and he comes across as a sincere nice guy , I miss him on late night tv, thanks for the years Jay !
I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that in November 2022, Jay was severely injured in a garage fire, which required extensive surgery and reconstruction work. In January 2023, he fell off one of his motorcycles and suffered from several broken bones. The man is a treasure, I hope his health improves soon.
Jay Leno is a real modern day time traveler! The stories Jay saved away is just mind boggling. Jay is a curator of metal motion. Thank you Jay Leno! He has saved so much history that would have been consumed by mother earth. Fabulous video both of you.
The man meets the man. Way cool...boat loads of knowledge . Anytime Jay does show and tell, I just sit back and say wow. Thanks Tom & Hagerty for sharing.
I had no idea that Jays wife was ill? I'm so sorry to hear that, it really takes a toll on yourself as well as your best friend! Take care of your wife and yourself Jay! You are number one with all your admirers, and I admire you most!
Jay is a national treasure and an automobile ambassador for sure. This is a man who knows everything there is about these vehicles. He loves them like they are his children. The dedication to perfection he shares with the world can't be equated. Thanks to Jay generations of people will enjoy seeing these well into the foreseeable future 👍
Having been at JAYS shop and spent 5hrs. with him--THE MAN IS AMAZING --his knowledge and love for cars in general is outstanding--we should all be as cool ---kaz
Leno seems to be slowing down quite a bit. He’s lost some weight, his speech has slowed, his walking and coordination as well. Hope the guy’s ok. One of the best channels on RUclips. I’d love to spend a day in his garage with Jay.
@@curbozerboomer1773 You aren't very bright!!! Just because you get check ups, doesn't make the problems "magically dissapear"...Imagine just seeing a Dr, cures the problem you are having...? Roflmao! "Yup, Mr Leno, your prostate was 3 times the normal size before you came in...?" OMG!
Jay Leno, the only celebrity I would love to meet and thank for keeping the history of these cars. Amazing that he is so humble, funny and yet has the passion for what he loves. God bless Jay!
I wish somebody would do a whole video on all the cars he has. I know it would be very long and might even be more than one video, but man, that would be awesome! I would watch it in a heartbeat.
Jay is just a national treasure. His knowledge and enthusiasm is just incredible and he's doing all this stuff albeit being 74 years old on April 28th this year. 😎😎🤘🤘
9:10 you hit the nail on the head my friend when it comes to Jay Leno we indeed are so very lucky. I hope for Jay that his health always stays strong so that he is able to share his knowledge to his very last day / minute / second on this earth! 😊
Jay Leno was a great comedian but was a mechanic before his career took off, his collection is one of the most valuable and desirable collections on the planet 🌎! Will take a Saudi sheik to purchase it when he’s done! He has amassed a fortune and invested it well, is worth many more times what he invested, very sharp eye along with a keen business savvy! I’m a huge fan!
Love these! A true car collector that loves what he owns and isn't afraid to show others. My favorite episode (1992 Mazda Autozam AZ-1 - Jay Leno's Garage)... but, then again, I'm biased as I know Ashley. Bring her back for another episode Jay!
Jay continues to be the consummate comedian, even when being interviewed. The comment "these were built to run over poor people" had me literally crying. We are so fortunate to have someone with his knowledge and caliber to save these cars for future generations. Thanks Jay!
I love how jay loves cars he loves to share his cars and he’s not just stuck on one type of car!! He just loves the invention and the advancements of cars through the decades!! His knowledge is amazing!!
The best thing about Jay Leno is he actually knows about cars, appreciates everything, and drives everything. There is no better car collector and car care taker than him!

I wonder about him. He looks like he is losing weight. His voice is a little raspy. I hope it's just age.
I disagree - slightly - he is not only a national treasure - he is a global treasure - I love what he is doing so much, he is international anywhere in the free world. He should be protected by the UNESCO.

I'm from the UK and only recently discovered him, he's just unbelievable. Certainly a unique person.
I have a great respect for Jay because he doesn't trailer queen his cars,and isn't afraid to drive them. Cars were built to be driven and enjoyed.
Man we do not deserve Jay Leno. He's just one of, if not tthe greatest petrolhead of all time. Thanks Jay.
You may not ...
"Don't deserve?" Get off his 🥜.
He's just a great car collector.
Easy Tiger, Jay is not perfect. He has done plenty of unappealing things.

@@jimbradley4565 they didn't day they haven't. Stop fishing, 🤡
Jay is such a humble dude. I have so much respect for that gentleman.
Hagerty should do a full documentary on the life of Jay Leno, and his influence on car culture.
And it should be done by Jason Cammisa.
Yeah, and Queen Latifa can play Jay Leno. Jim Carey can direct it. His best friend Rob Reiner can produce it.
@@benhunter8551 it is better to remain silent, and thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Do you have something against a black woman playing Jay Leno or something? Maybe you don't think his friend Rob Reiner is a qualified producer?
@@benhunter8551 best comment ever.
Jay is one of those rare public people who is so down to earth. I appreciate how he openly shares his love of cars with the world.
The greatest treasure to automobile history in that whole collection is Jay. Thank you for being who you are.
Yep!
The man knows his cars. It is so interesting just to listen. I now love a Duesenberg. But he is also exquisite on newer cars. He might night admit to loving Ferrari, he still admonishes them.
Jay has to be the best automotive custodian- ambassador there is. Thanks for being so passionate Jay!
What an episode! Tom and Jay on a walkabout talking about cars. Love how they both find the history and stories as interesting as the cars themselves.
Would like to see more of this.

He's in considerable pain, here. Weight loss= Cancer...He's also obviously affected deeply by the loss of his wife...

And he do not have a child to inherit all of this, man i just hope he live for another 10-15 years
Seriously guys. Don't feel sorry for the man. We'll thru a lot in life but Jay can handle it. Your posts are just depressing 😢.
Jay is THE biggest legend in the car community

I can’t help having the biggest smile every time I view Jay’s garden! Where everything is in its glory. Great video. Well produced
Jay Leno is one of the most down to earth men of our lifetime! A master of Comedy, and a walking encyclopedia of automobiles.
What a fine man!
There is simply no one better suited to be THE Automotive Ambassador than Jay Leno! His love and passion for ALL things automotive and mechanical is second to none!

Many people reach a fork in the road where they have a lifestyle change in dietary habits and exercise, resulting in significant weight loss. They do this to avoid diabetes, heart disease and dementia. It isn't necessarily stress related.

Jay Leno is the perfect person for a car collector he gives a legacy for every vehicle incorporates the story of the previous owners the background of the manufacturers and gives homage to each and every one of them treats them as the car should be and uses them as they were intended to used.
The one & only Person I know that has those many cars and knows every single detail about them, and exposes himself to the "indignities" of bathing in engine oil or transmission fluid and works on all his cars by himself.
Absolute living legend of a man and a car enthusiast. I wish to have a garage as big as his, fully filled with all my favorites.
Tom speaking to the camera about Jay's knowledge, enthusiasm and generosity was perfect. Two of the nicest people on RUclips. Joy to watch.
What a beautiful episode of cars and friendship and authentic communication of healthy hearted men. Thanks to all that made, captured, produced, and of course featured in this. So good to see good amongst this falling world.
Your videos are first rate. Jay Leno is the spokesperson for the car world. Thank You so much for this wonderful video / story !!!!!!!
This will go down as one of the greatest Barn Find podcasts.
Jay is a wealth of knowledge in regards to automobile history.
So interesting!
Thanks for sharing.
Well done gentlemen!
I say this in all sincerity. You two are Class Acts. And we are ALL fortunate to have you BOTH in this hobby! Appreciation to you. 💯👊
NO ONE has better car videos than Jay. As a New Englander of the same vintage as Jay, I’ve always related to his stories about growing up in a small town and seeing a cool car. Great memories!
Jay…. God speed. Thank you. You’ve done well. You have saved a lot of automobile history for our future generations.
This is a timeless portrait of the person and professional historian Jay Leno. The interaction of knowledge domains was great, and Hagerty is the perfect host.
I could watch these two gents for HOURS. Please make this happen.
I'm just thankful Jay Leno exists. Ive learned SO much from him and its just pushed my love of vintage cars. One day ill find my baby.
Hats off to Jay. He knows his history. He is always correcting guests on details. Love it.
Jay is a American legend to me, great performer on comedy, and just a incredible car guy ,and he comes across as a sincere nice guy , I miss him on late night tv, thanks for the years Jay !
Sharp as a tack, but you can tell Jay is really slowing down. God bless this man!
Gdmmt time sucks
I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that in November 2022, Jay was severely injured in a garage fire, which required extensive surgery and reconstruction work.
In January 2023, he fell off one of his motorcycles and suffered from several broken bones. The man is a treasure, I hope his health improves soon.
@@dontrelive1933 Yeah, well, uh, you know, that's just like your opinion man!
i don't see it
I bet you'd still have to keep up with him.
Jay Leno is a real modern day time traveler! The stories Jay saved away is just mind boggling. Jay is a curator of metal motion. Thank you Jay Leno! He has saved so much history that would have been consumed by mother earth. Fabulous video both of you.
Can’t stop looking at all the wonderful pictures and artwork on the walls
The man meets the man. Way cool...boat loads of knowledge . Anytime Jay does show and tell, I just sit back and say wow. Thanks Tom & Hagerty for sharing.
I really envy Jay Leno.. but he is an absolute legend for giving access, history lesson, maintaining these historic pieces of art..
I had no idea that Jays wife was ill? I'm so sorry to hear that, it really takes a toll on yourself as well as your best friend! Take care of your wife and yourself Jay! You are number one with all your admirers, and I admire you most!
Incredible amount of knowledge… Jay Leno is a treasure … I’m so glad he has this show!!
I see jay finished cleaning up the Jaguar. It's beautiful! As always he cracks me up!
Jay is a legend. An automobile ambassador and just a great human being. God Bless
Jay is a national treasure and an automobile ambassador for sure. This is a man who knows everything there is about these vehicles. He loves them like they are his children. The dedication to perfection he shares with the world can't be equated. Thanks to Jay generations of people will enjoy seeing these well into the foreseeable future 👍
Having been at JAYS shop and spent 5hrs. with him--THE MAN IS AMAZING --his knowledge and love for cars in general is outstanding--we should all be as cool ---kaz
Leno seems to be slowing down quite a bit. He’s lost some weight, his speech has slowed, his walking and coordination as well. Hope the guy’s ok. One of the best channels on RUclips. I’d love to spend a day in his garage with Jay.
He's in pain, here...Looks like prostate issues...
That's what happens when you get old. He's not a spring chicken anymore
He is 74, and works hard. Being tired is okay.
@@burtburt2263 Prostate issues? I think Jay knows enough to-over the years-have physicals, get a PSA test, etc.
@@curbozerboomer1773 You aren't very bright!!! Just because you get check ups, doesn't make the problems "magically dissapear"...Imagine just seeing a Dr, cures the problem you are having...? Roflmao! "Yup, Mr Leno, your prostate was 3 times the normal size before you came in...?" OMG!
Jay Leno, the only celebrity I would love to meet and thank for keeping the history of these cars. Amazing that he is so humble, funny and yet has the passion for what he loves. God bless Jay!
I wish somebody would do a whole video on all the cars he has. I know it would be very long and might even be more than one video, but man, that would be awesome! I would watch it in a heartbeat.
that would be so nice!
Check out his channel.
Too many cars for 1 show
I can listen to Jay talk cars and engines all day long! Thanks Jay for being a great steward to these machines!
Jay is just a national treasure. His knowledge and enthusiasm is just incredible and he's doing all this stuff albeit being 74 years old on April 28th this year. 😎😎🤘🤘
Jay Leno is one of a kind. Such a kind soul... always happy to share moto or auto thoughts.
Jay leno will go down in history as probably the biggest car guy of all time
100%
Rick Hendrick would like a word…..
@@timsullivan9642 does he share his cars with the world. I think not.
@@adriaanserrao2016 he does, plenty of people have shared videos.
And the kindest
Thank You!!! What an amazing episode. Jay Leno really is just the best custodian imaginable of all this history.
I really like that Mr.Leno drives all of his cars and bikes!
9:10 you hit the nail on the head my friend when it comes to Jay Leno we indeed are so very lucky. I hope for Jay that his health always stays strong so that he is able to share his knowledge to his very last day / minute / second on this earth! 😊
Thank the lord for Jay leno he brings happiness to a lot of people god bless him
Always fascinating to listen to Mr. Leno and not to forget good old Tom.
Jay Leno was a great comedian but was a mechanic before his career took off, his collection is one of the most valuable and desirable collections on the planet 🌎! Will take a Saudi sheik to purchase it when he’s done! He has amassed a fortune and invested it well, is worth many more times what he invested, very sharp eye along with a keen business savvy! I’m a huge fan!
Love these! A true car collector that loves what he owns and isn't afraid to show others. My favorite episode (1992 Mazda Autozam AZ-1 - Jay Leno's Garage)... but, then again, I'm biased as I know Ashley. Bring her back for another episode Jay!
I had no idea how classy Jay Leno was until I started watching all his videos
Jay continues to be the consummate comedian, even when being interviewed. The comment "these were built to run over poor people" had me literally crying. We are so fortunate to have someone with his knowledge and caliber to save these cars for future generations. Thanks Jay!
Wow! what an episode, thanks Tom and Jay (and Hagerty and Leno's Garage for making this for us, too!)
Jay is amazing, his collection is amazing, his buildings are amazing. Love this stuff.
Jay is the king of all machines gas, steam, electric!!!!!bless him. Thank you for the show.🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love how jay loves cars he loves to share his cars and he’s not just stuck on one type of car!! He just loves the invention and the advancements of cars through the decades!! His knowledge is amazing!!
Tom and Jay chatting together. How could it be better ?
them chatting in the middle of a huge car collection and showing off some amazing barn finds. Oh wait....
