I agree, he interrupts a bit too much and we are unable to hear many of Paul’s thoughts or even answers for that matter. He can’t even answer a question and he constantly got interrupted by Jay. Jeez, annoying. May he finally be able to slow down a bit and Rest In Peace, such an icon Paul is. Thankfully he will always be remembered fondly by myself and many millions more!
WOW! Between 1982 to July 2019 Newmans Own has now made more than 22,000 grants totalling over $550,000,000!!! God bless this man and his beloved Joanna. I hope there is a heaven, these two deserve to be reunited. RIP Paul❤️ Lovely interview. Jay really got this usually very shy man out of his shell. (Loved how he lit up at the mention of badminton❤️)
I have to respect the character that he displayed by choosing to not live in LA. He'd rather take his family back to New England and live in a "normal" environment than deal with the wacked out publicity freaks in the Hollywood Circus. He valued his privacy far more than the publicity that was typical in that industry. He seemed to get by "OK" in spite of staying away from the crowds. ;^)
@@cellardoor199991 I believe you're correct but the majority of the acting community seem to congregate in the LA area... that's where they seem to feel the work is. There are several (usually older) actors who prefer to move to a "more normal" part of the country and let their agents deal with the LA crowd.
I recollect after reading his biography 20 years or so ago he wasn't happy with the the studio with the roles he was given. Slowly he accumulated enough money to buy his way out of the contract. That took a lot of gusto which made him the legend and philanthropist. That's my vague recollection and please correct or add to . Thanks for reading.
Has there ever been anyone cooler than Paul Newman,recognized by everyone on the planet,gave more to charity than most people Could ever dream,and all done with grace ,humility and style what a man ,,!
Always loved him HE was a great guy. Funny .good looking . good husband great sense of humor.Alot if class Paul Newman and Robert Redford were great in the movies they did together.He was the best looking guy Iever saw.
My guess is most viewers are going to come away from this thinking Paul Newman was a so-so race driver playing around with racing. Nothing could be further from the truth! Fact is he was a top driver who drove in some of the toughest car races in the world. Luminaries like Mario Andretti considered him a very capable driver and my guess is that if he had started out earlier he may have been one of the best. Paul's daughter went to college in the town where I live in Maine and Paul and his wife used to visit her every year. They both developed a reputation among locals as good people and they literally exuded a feeling of modest friendliness. A local story has a teenage girl asking Paul for his autograph and Paul responding that he didn't give autographs because he was nobody special. When invited by a Maine magazine to comment on the Hole In The Wall cancer camp for kids he funded Paul wrote a short essay saying that he was a lucky guy who had made a lot of money and he wanted some of that money to be used for a good purpose. He then added that the people who deserved the real credit for the camp were the devoted doctors, nurses, and support people who worked with the kids. Great actor, great race car driver, and most importantly a great human being...
@@Merylcaine Utter nonsense. Don't confuse the good ones with the arseholes that get all the attention. The media only focuses on them, which tars everyone else with the same brush.
@@timheidel5849 Yeah? He won the race too, and pulled the gap further and further apart. He was a very good actor, and a great race car driver. Most people have no idea how awesome a driver he really was.
@@fifteenbyfive I worked with PLN in SCCA races and in Indy Car. I have one of his driving suits and some autographed things (and Paul did not like doing autographs). Comedian Adam Carolla now owns much of Paul's race cars and equipment.
He made some great movies, the kind that no matter how many times I've seen them, if they're on I'll watch 'em again and enjoy every minute. The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, The Color of Money, Butch and Sundance, Towering Inferno, The Sting, and Slap Shot. And probably a few others I'm forgetting. And I like his products, I've never had a Newman's Own product that wasn't great. It's the only coffee I'll drink. Even frozen pizza, which usually is lousy at best, is very good.
Pretty impressed Paul Newman loved Badminton. I’m a huuuge badminton fanatic. Consider the current Guinness book of world record speed stands at a staggering 306 mph (493 kmh) just south of 500 kmh. One player actually hit a shot that impaled a watermelon, with the shuttlecock embedded firmly in the gourd upto the tape behind the leather covered cork tip. Wow! Tres incredible! Check out ‘this is Badminton’ on Google. It will simply blow your mind, lol! Blistering, mind numbing action shot after shot too, you won’t believe. Great to see PN on Jay Leno. Jay mentioned the fact that most people are seriously deprived of the real thing lolol! They only are familiar with the outdoor ‘garden variety’ game, not sport I call ‘goodminton’. Notice I didn’t cap the word. Cheers!
Loved Paul Newman, great actor and class act. Leno, not so much. His loud, crass interview style and no matter who he was interviewing he always managed to turn it back to himself.
I have to disagree about Leno. He was funny, intelligent, and entertaining. Look at what we have now as late night hosts! Carson, Letterman, Cavett, Leno, Parr, etc. were in a class of their own! A bygone era of talk show hosts...imo!
@@timheidel5849 Yeah he did, but did you notice that he continued to pull further and further ahead of Leno? That shows superior driving skills. And besides, I'll bet Leno secretly took the faster car for himself!
@@stevenswm9844 Since Paul is much lighter than Leno (and a pro driver) he SHOULD be pulling ahead. In a staged race like that, whoever got in front could just block and win...and it would have been rude for Jay to invite a legend like PLN onto his show and beat him. It was fun to watch. Hard to believe that Paul has been gone for almost 11 years.
love love love Paul Newman. Did anyone else notice when they gave him the flag, he said, "what do I do with this?" hahahaha you keep it! haha he's the best. always will be.
What can you say except for Pure class old school actor. Nothing today can come close to him rest in peace.Paul. plus he raised fine kids. With a Wonderful wife
What a class act a 100 million by 05 donated how much do u think it is by now that man lived rite awarded best looking man how many times and never any controversy of him cheating on his wife of over 50 years and any woman wanted him till he died I guess thats the way to live if u have what he had great man more actors should follow his lead
Newman played ALL kinds of sports because his father owned one of the biggest sporting goods store in Shaker Heights, Ohio. His father was very wealthy, too. And so is Newman where he has donated over $300 million dollars to charity via his Newman's Own line of food products.
Man, Leno was completely star-struck during this interview. I love this.
Paul Newman was such a classy human being.
I agree, he interrupts a bit too much and we are unable to hear many of Paul’s thoughts or even answers for that matter. He can’t even answer a question and he constantly got interrupted by Jay. Jeez, annoying. May he finally be able to slow down a bit and Rest In Peace, such an icon Paul is. Thankfully he will always be remembered fondly by myself and many millions more!
Paul Newman was an incredible man. What he accomplished in a lifetime boggles the mind.
Are you serious!? He raced Leno. The guy's 80 flippin' years old. What a legend. All class.
Not only did he race him. He kicked Leno's ass.
This was such a treat. Sometimes I can't believe he's not with us anymore and it's been 10 years. I wish he had made that last movie with Redford.
Same
There are very few actors who could be called "Royalty", but Paul modestly qualifies for that category.
I miss this man. he was such a class act!
Absolute class!! And humble too.
The coolest guy who ever lived , right up there anyway . Most watchable movie star ever
Agreed!!
Lpve
Along with Dean Martin.
Don’t forget people. He’s an older man of 80 years here. Still looks great and totally on the ball.
Now this man is what you call a true legend.
WOW! Between 1982 to July 2019 Newmans Own has now made more than 22,000 grants totalling over $550,000,000!!!
God bless this man and his beloved Joanna.
I hope there is a heaven, these two deserve to be reunited.
RIP Paul❤️
Lovely interview. Jay really got this usually very shy man out of his shell. (Loved how he lit up at the mention of badminton❤️)
Loved it when the car alarms went off at the end, priceless Newman.
They broke the mold when they made this great man...
He came out of a womans womb you ding dong. geeez
He's a natural born world shaker
Sure !!
We have Keanu Reeves right now. The only one ....
married that woman he loved,stayed away from Hollywood,kept his dignity...much respect

Paul's reaction time on the green flag was about .025 seconds. Lightning quick!
Wow... 200 million dollars to charity. An incredible philanthropist.
and yet, I dont know a single person that has benefited from that. So, question is..who exactly sees those dollars?
@@user-kb1hw2yq2f charities are a way to save taxes.
By September, a couple of hundred million...Is there anyone better than this man?
@John W
And this was filmed nearly 14 years ago... his legacy and philanthropy still lives on. 👍
His reaction time was so fast! What a legend.
being so handsome still at 80 ...... just wonderful
With people like him gone, things just don't seem the same
its like McQueen slapping the charger's passenger door at over 100 mph during bullitt practice runs. That's living.
Job Hd jn
@@Hot80s Mcqueen was a jack ass.
The greatest generation died out and the Boomers took over. This is the result.
Love and miss you, Paul!!
My God. He only had three years left after this interview.
Iconoclast of the highest order.
"Uh... by September... a couple hundred million."
What a man; what a legend.
I can't even imagine how sad Redford must have been when Paul passed away.... :(
What an incredible man! A class act in every way!
Its just crazy that he died only 3 years later. He looked so healthy in this interview..
He suffered lung cancer.
He was saving air and strength I'm sure.
@@robbyosborne9708 smoked too much
@@joecebu2791 Figures.

Haha that was awesome, look mister Newman go at the age of 80!
I had to laugh... as his "Limo" pulled away, they set off the car alarms along the street!! ;^)
Newman=one of the finest human beings ever.
👍
The man is total PERFECTION 💕💕
Paul Newman - The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man. The memoir came out recently and is a great read, really a brilliant thoughtful guy.
Paul Newman. So much dignity and always reserved… Not giving himself away yet you can’t help but respect him.
What a wonderful, wonderful man. Merci pour le téléchargement.
Wow Paul didn't waste anytime off the starting line and held it all the way. I love you Paul and Joanne.
What a wonderful man ! Laid back style with a generous heart !! #1 Today"s Hollywood could learn something !!!!!
Has there ever been anyone cooler than Paul Newman,recognized by everyone on the planet,gave more to charity than most people
Could ever dream,and all done with grace ,humility and style what a man ,,!

What fun fun fun. Thank you for posting. LOVED this natural interview by two greats. Lolly
What a life this guy had
I love seeing the products still looking the same. I miss Paul Newman, I wish I was older to have seen him more
So nice when actors were humble and funny and nice! I miss that!
There are plenty of actors that are humble and nice.

Incredible youthful spirit, wit and joia de vive. Paul Newman living life to it's fullest ti the very end.
I know Paul was a racer for years but my god he kicked ass on that go kart!, that was awesome!, god bless you Paul RIP!, such a nice guy!
You guys see all those tire marks already on the floor? That was from Jay Leno. He was practicing all day. Paul took one crack at it and whooped him.
Paul jumped the start...

that was fun thank you ,I enjoyed it .thanks again.
He was the man! He was the one celebrity I wish I could have met.
One of the last class acts left in the film industry, quite possibly any where. R.I.P Mr. Newman........
I love how the engine set off the car alarms!
RIP Paul Newman (January 26, 1925 - September 26, 2008), aged 83
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Newman, a class act
The reaction time on the returns is amazing, not unlike what happens in ping pong.
OMG this was 2005 lol I remember it when it happened lol time flies
Leno: Are you a competitive person?
Paul: No.
Paul looked so cute when he said that LOL
He made some great movies, the kind that no matter how many times I've seen them, if they're on I'll watch 'em again and enjoy every minute. The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, The Color of Money, Butch and Sundance, Towering Inferno, The Sting, and Slap Shot. And probably a few others I'm forgetting.

paul newman and steve mcqueen made 2 movies together.one in 1956 and the second one in 1974.
One of my favorite actors, and a great guy! R.I.P. Also, my brother did look like him... same blue eyes!😢
Paul Newman pure class. We need more people like him today.

Jay still talks about this go kart race, a big moment for him. Racing with Mr Newman
This is the only time i saw Jay Leno actually and really exited with a guest..
What a fun show to watch!
Cool guy and a very sweet guy. No other actor can ever compare
Mr. Paul Newman was the greatest and still is the greatest,kudos to you Jay
Miss this man. They don't make-um like that anymore. Rest in Peace, Mr. Newman!
This is a true legend...talented, handsome, cool, private...not a celebrity...

If I were Jay, I would be embarrassed. That old man SMOKED him!!! Rest in peace, Doc.
I believe that Newman and Redford were hoping to do A Walk in the Woods together. Newman's role eventually went to Nick Nolte.
This was 2006 not 2005, I was there.
" By September, a couple hundred million....." Delivered as cool as saying " hold my beer ".
What a gentleman.....a dying breed
What can you say except for Pure class old school actor. Nothing today can come close to him rest in peace.Paul. plus he raised fine kids. With a Wonderful wife
always gave his best to his craft, knew who he was & was comfortable & at ease with others & himself, good guy.
He is very down to earth.
Great man and a great actor.
Truly one of the best.
Awesome 👍😎 Mister Newman 👏👏👏
Newman looked at 80 better than some 50 yr olds. He had a bounce to his step and stood straight up. One can only hope and work at looking that good.
I don't know why but I really wanted a color of money 2....i knew he couldn't live forever and when he died I was genuinely sad and I never knew him
Boy late night television is a horror show nowadays. This was awesome.
love his Frank Galvin, Butch Cassidy and so many more; apparently, he would rather have played the Sundance Kid
What a class act a 100 million by 05 donated how much do u think it is by now that man lived rite awarded best looking man how many times and never any controversy of him cheating on his wife of over 50 years and any woman wanted him till he died I guess thats the way to live if u have what he had great man more actors should follow his lead
No sexual controversies, you don't read much do you?
Wow, he wiped the floor with Jay Leno! :)
"Do you write those stories on the back?"
"Yes I do.....They're awful..."
Great actor, Great human being.
Lovely man and jay is a lovely interviewer

& you know jay practiced all week on that track
Wow... How many people that old still hold a great racing line and are counter steering!
Matt Close He said race driving was the only sport where he had athletic Grace.
paul newman one of the greatest
Paul was offered the part for Dirty Harry, but thought it was too right wing and suggested Clint Eastwood for the movie.
Sometimes a Great Notion.......Newman could of played Kesey in a movie about his life........
Since 88, Newmans own has donated over $600 million. Such an incredible human
Everybody loves Newman, but still, at 80, give the guy at least a helmet before 200mph...:)
Shakin it here boss!
