Before he was famous, he was sleeping in doorways in l.a. He came out from n.y. to make it big with no money. The story is that some cop saw his plight and tried to help him out.
So, good for him in that respect.
He really loves cars.
I have seen him in l.a. driving his cars 2 times.
He was driving the old Chrysler turbine on the freeway in l.a once when I passed him on the road.

I didn’t know about all that. Thanks.

I enjoy watching his YouTube videos. He’s really into his cars and is very knowledgeable. Good for him.

Leno said he has always worked two jobs, and saved the money from his highest paying job. Paper boy and waiter. Dishwasher and comedian.

He said when he did the Tonight Show he also did lots of comedy acts on the road to make money and practice his material.

He saved all of the money from the Tonight Show and lived off of his standup routines. Although I wonder if some of that savings was “invested” in his car collection. I think that would be a reasonable investment. Better than Bitcoin.
