Jay Leno Visits George W. Bush on His Texas Ranch

Jay Leno is kicking off the third season of his hit CNBC show in arguably the most Texas way possible – on the ranch of former President George W. Bush.

Leno recently went to visit Bush in Crawford and the pair drove around in the former Commander-In-Chief’s trusty 2013 Ford F-150 King Ranch edition pickup to talk about life in McLennan County.

Bush auctioned off his old 2009 truck for charity in January, raising $300,000. It was even autographed inside.

During his visit Leno helped Bush uproot a tree on his 90-acre tree farm and stack some compost bags. Leno also found out that former First Lady Laura Bush calls her hubby “Bushy” around the house.

The total size of the ranch is 1500+ acres. Still small for Texas

Respectable, though.

We saw Leno onstage in Lowell back in the 80s. He was great. Funny and nice.

BeanTown. Hooray.

I like the fact that Leno’s not a recluse. Shares his hobby. I wonder how many cars he has bought from my neighbor, Wayne Carini.

He seems like a genuinely nice man. The audience loved him and he seemed to like them too.

In most people's book yes but in S Texas they call that a "postage stamp" ranch.

There they drive through that much to get to the house.

*Down-to-earth* kinda guy.

Another comic, who is like that is Dan Ackroyd. And Art Carney was.
