  I write this story in the comments every time I see Jay Leno on something. I worked as a security guard at a fine arts museum. They opened this brand new exhibit called Speed. All of these historical cars , land speed records, etc. Jay was invited to speak at the opening. Black tie affair, very fancy. I was assigned to cover Jay and get whatever he needed. Jay shows up in his classic Canadian tuxedo, with a garment bag with his tux in it. I show him and his guy to a small green room. We were given strict instructions not to talk to him don’t ask for autographs, etc. we are professionals. Taking everything seriously. Jay comes straight up to me, once we’re in the green room. Shook my hand, good hand shake. What’s your name kid, family, how’s things going? Nicest guy in the world. He noticed our boss was a little uptight. So boss leaves the green room, he immediately was like “ ouch, he’s a hard ass”. So funny. Jay sat and chat with me a no name regular hardworking guy, for 30 mins before his opening remarks. I will never forget it.

  I love how humble Jay is. I wish more people in the entertainment industry had the same kind of respect for people who work with their hands.

  Leno is a brilliant businessman. That's why he's been around for so long.

  Howie is so proud about his Tonight Show memorabilia and Jay couldn't give two shits. Funny.

  I met Jay Leno once, I am a nobody and he invited me into his shop and treated me like a friend.  I will never forget that day. God bless you Jay !!!

  I wish Howie would have made it clear that Jay didn't really want to retire

  I went to the filming of tonight show at two different occasions in the late 90s. He did all the warm up in his jeans outfit, then came out in a suit. He was so good!!! His warm up was funnier than the show itself

  This interview/chat was cathartic for me as well as Howie. &nbsp;Very great interview (even though Howie interrupted). Jay Leno is the epitome of magnanimous grace. &nbsp;Amazing man!
