Bo loved Bob Hope too, and got to meet him when he did a show in Modesto. As CBS in Sacremento is celebrating 70 years on the air, they have a commercial full of show highlights, one of the clips is with Bo and Bob Hope together. Bo was 10 years old. You can see the commercial here on YT, just search for it.
My son Bo was severly disabled, born with fractures that healed before he was born, doctors told us our baby wouldn't ever have a birthday. Osteogenisis Imperfecta, caused Bo to fracture with little or no trauma. We decided to wait five years and then maybe try for another baby. We had 2 more. I always kept life fun for Bo and neverr made him feel like a burden. As he grew up, he wanted to go to school, and went to Modesto High School. One day it was raining and Bo was under a canopy, he didn't see the two steps an the end of the walkway and crashed. I thought we were going to say goodbye that aweful day. As the Vice Principal knelt on the wet pavement covered in blood, Bo asked her "Don't call my Mom, just put me back into my wheelchair. She'll never let me come back to school." That was Fri 2-18-94, the very next Wed. Bo was ready to go home. We placed him on plywood and carried him out. I quit all activities but Bo and slowly the fractures healed, both arms then the legs. Bo wanted to go back to Mo Hi after Spring Break. But his leg refractured, it was begining to be a real problem as summer vacation started. So we went to see Orthopedic, Dr. Les Konkin, he sent Bo for some little plastic casts, that I could velcro closed, like a clamshell on his legs. It was a hard June and July and I could see the sadness that the pain was causeing. My usually upbeat 15 year old son needed some kind of carrot..... So I asked if he'd like to go to see his Godmother, my sister Mary lives in Norwalk, 350 miles from us. While there, we went to NBC in Burbank to see if we could get tickets to see the taping of the Tonight Show, Bo loved Jay Leno and watched the show every night. You get tickets at Guest Relations, tickets were all given out for that weeks show and if we wanted, we could do the NBC Guided Tour. Well Bo makes friends wherever we go and a stage hand named Irve heckled my kid while sitting in a shoeshine booth. As Irve heard Bo tell his disapointment over not getting tickets to see Jay, he smiled and said "Wait right here." and left us. Irve came back with a stack of tickets, how many and what days do you want.... Bo was now a friend of the show and was able to see the show 4 diferent times. Jay introduced Bo to the audience and photos were taken. Bo got to see the show when Garth was there in 96, I drove the 350 miles not knowing if we could see the show, we were seated at the last minute. We decided to take Bo to Las Vegas for his 21 Birthday, so we called Irve and took Bo to the TShow, he actually scared Richard Simmons. Jay called when Bo had pnumonia, promising him a spot in the audience anytime he want to see the show. The angels came for him on a Sunday morning one month after his 23 birthday. When we got home some calls had to be made and I called NBC. Jay and Irve called the next day. Jay made my son feel so special. Helped me keep a little boy happy as he grew into an adult. I miss my son, in Sept, it'll be 23 years since we lost him. THANK YOU JAY! I'll never forget.
*God blessed you with Bo because He trusted that you would do everything necessary to provide for him while he was on loan to you from our Father in Heaven.* *Few people are blessed with such patience and selflessness- it is a VERY difficult life to have children who need care for the entire duration of their lives. God bless you for dedicating your all to make Bo’s life as full as possible.*
Im sure the fire dept is full of great people. Thats why so many say they deserve better than what they have had to deal with from their leadership. I just hope these great people are not in greater danger from the lack of resources they have had to deal with.
I was part of the Florida hurricanes and yes, the lineman are great, long hours, focused and got most of our power back within a couple of days. We tried to take really good care of them when they was in the area.
Real people doing real team-work. Times of natural calamity will show the true spirit of the boots on the ground. Well done to them all, and thanks to everyone that is supporting and being good to the men and women that are working to end this disaster.
He shows up in a mint-condition antique fire truck and for what reason? He's not there to use it on a fire. It's like someone showing up in a mint-condition Lamborghini painted like a firetruck with a fire extinguisher strapped to the side of it. Just a PR move.
Rubbish...best in the world? What a joke. You obviously haven't been watching the same coverage as the rest of the world. All those houses burning without barely any vegetation....thats incompetence.
*Jay is absolutely right. Firefighters in the USA are top-notch, as are pretty much ALL first responders- they work for practically nothing, but put more into training, practicing, and learning how to do the job than just about anyone else, so when the pressure is on so hard that most people buckle- to first responders it’s like tying their shoes.*
Love Jay. Apolitical people are the best kind. Instead of Trumplicans blaming democrats or democrats blaming Trumplicans, he’s just out there putting in action and helping ❤
We dont know him, we know his character only. You dont get anywhere this rich and famous unless they let you. Stop defending these TV personality characters. We dont know anything about them
Who went to LA with 3 Semi's full of supplies for fire survivors this weekend? She coordinated relief efforts for hundreds of people. Several organizations took part. Shout out to The Tiny Pines Foundation❤ They even made BBQ meals to feed people. Donated a generator to a mother and four children living in a tent and her car.❤
From the mouth of MICHAEL FANONE, FUK, ...Chump, he's doing jack shiet but putting criminals back on the streets that attached the capitol...AND denial aid to the FEDERAL TAX PAYING AMERICANS IN CALIFORNIA.
Leno also said that he didn't know what else could have been done by the state. How absurd. How about some pre-deployment of resources, some land and water management, not slashing the fire department budget, and having full reservoirs?
People are starting to forget how good it was before 2020 and yet almost not a single liberal was able to see around mainstream medias lies. It’s kind of sad how dumb people are these days, but hopefully with trump back in they will realize what they didn’t have before…
Add to that list not emptying the reservoir behind the Palisades, or at least fixing the cover in a timely manner and refilling it. Also not diverting the vast majority of California’s water into the ocean. Either measure would have saved homes, businesses and lives.
@liquid_butter He's a commie two bit comic the system nourished. Never thought he was funny at all. Even if I did; so what. I did more in my life for this country than that man. I'm sure he did..
In 2022, Jay was severely burned when the vintage car he was working on caught fire. In addition to other burns, he sustained 2nd and 3rd degree burns to his face that required skin grafts and an ear reconstruction. The next year he was knocked off his motorcycle re-injuring his face, breaking his collarbone, two ribs and two kneecaps. He had a rough couple of years, plus more health problems since, and looks it.
The way it should be on the front line. Lets get the problem solved and point the finger later. I, however, am not on the front line. I can call for the imprisonment of the negligent people involved from gruesome newscum, to the mayors and county officials that have ALLOWED this to happen!!!
lenos a class act always just the most positive guy. im a car guy love em for that but his late nite run was something i could always get into and was really quality family time... we need entertainment front and center...not activists
Good firefighters would probably have some sort of checklist to make sure they are ready to handle fires if they occur. Like checking the water levels in the reservoirs they rely on!
He just likes to feel good about helping people, He's not going to get involved on why these people are out there having to go through this and there was no water and people's homes burned down and they're homeless and most of them didn't have insurance because of the situation he doesn't want to get involved with or talk about, he doesn't want to think about that. Question does he vote and why 🤔 To put firefighters in unnecessar danger and people's lives in danger and there was lives lost is bad Leadership, I don't mind saying it, you shouldn't either.
maybe Jay could repair the trucks & squads that are reportedly sitting in maintenance yards because of budget cuts. to pursue nonsense. incompetence D E I , Wokeness Decades of it...

Jay Leno is the greatest person I've ever met but his idea thinking that the LA fire department was on top of their game is completely illiterate ignorant and completely wrong
Exactly, for right now, keep politics out of these fires, help those who need it, and recognize the brave people who are actually there doing the dangerous work.
Politics got them in this, politics will get them out. What sense does it make to give billions, just to see the same thing happen against next year. No way hohzay.
@ what about Florida hurricanes? They know how to deal with hurricanes. Look at this fall with the two storms, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina knew what they were doing. North Carolina nd Roy Cooper? Didn't know what they were doing.
