Jay represents honesty in his words and walk. He seems to be unimpressed by snooty rich guys and phony celebs. I never miss his show, but sorely miss his style on late night TV.
I’ve seen Jay Leno interviewed a few times and he comes across as a good guy, like he hasn’t forgotten who he is.
Saw him on a car show at a California burger joint that the classic car owners cruise on weekends. He said “I’ve seen those people here very often but we don’t go by names. That guy (pointing) is the 56 Chevy guy, that’s the Mustang guy, the Packard family is over there...they may be doctors, lawyers, businessmen or a truck driver or carpenter...doesn’t matter.”
Both feet firmly on terra firma.
