What a really touching story; not just because it is Jay Leno - because it’s a story of a guy who loved his dad. Thank you for sharing.
Jay has become like his father. Have you seen all that he does for disabled Vets? It's AMAZING! What impresses me the most is he does not boast about all he does, he just loves to make people happy. God bless you Jay.
:) hes cool !
He carries a lot of his mom, too. She was Scottish, and her whole family were pretty tight with money. Well, all the money he's made from the Tonight Show went straight to the bank, never spent a dime of it. He lives his life, including all his cars and stuff, from money he makes doing about 200 or so standup gigs a year.
🙏♥️
🙏♥️
@@blackhawkswincup2010 Yes, and he has said he did 300 shows a year i think also. Unless i misheard. What a Great work ethic, and he Loves what he does! He is one classy Guy. I believe Carson was the only one just as classy. Jay always took care of his staff, and he never thought he was better than anyone. He said to be successful it takes a certain amount of Humility to be shown, and not arrogance. And indeed Jay Loves to make people Laugh and smile. God Bless him!
Leno is a real person, who came from a real family, not an asshole, not in love with himself, loves his wife, and made me cry about my own dad that I lost when I was 5, you know, I've never met a person that knew him, that didn't go out of they're way to tell me how nice of a person he was, I could never walk in his shoes, sound a lot like Angelo Leno
Jay was a "late in life" child; his mom was around 41 when he was born, his dad was 42 or so. He lost both parents in a two year span circa 1992-94. His older brother died from cancer in 2000 and Jay took over responsibility for his then-teenage nephew.
OMG I never knew!
@@sherriecaskie3111 yeah...he's talked about it...the first year he got the Tonight Show his mother died...next year his father died...or the other way but he had the show...he has a lovely wife and no kids...hes a good guy that got way too much heat than he deserved..
the nice ones always do...
hug !
@@Aditya-tw4mz He talked about it in his last episode of the tonight show. It's on youtube.
You'll never hear Mr. Leno tear someone down or belittle the accomplishments of others. As great as he's become we'll never hear him brag on himself... what we will hear him say is how great everyone else is... from his showbiz friends to the regular guy off the street who Jay invited to show off their car and make them feel special... on his show Jay Leno's Garage. I think this is what truly makes him great... he brags on everyone elses victory.
What story teller a true story teller. He took me there.
Jay Leno is a great guy. I’d love to be his friend.
normally rich people are supposed to be mean and look down on you but jay is the one with heart
Definitely.
So would I. I'd also like to see his cars
Hard to believe it's been 2 yrs since my father died , was the worst day of my life.That guy would do anything for me.Wish I could have done more for him, had the best father you could want !!!😢
I can relate. I could have written what you just did.
@@videoarchiveman That's why it's so important to tell them whenever you can. Tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone.
In an interview, Jay's wife Mavis said that the first time she saw Jay with his parents, she knew he was the right man for her. She said that Jay, while being independent, still had the utmost respect for his mom and dad.
Anyone married for decades to a woman named Mavis has to be salt of the earth
Jay is lucky to have had a loving dad. Some people never experience any love from their dad. They have to make up stories on how great he was.
Yup you're sure right. My dad was a total dick to me his whole life.
@@user-ss2ly1ir6j, hopefully you broke the cycle with your generation.
Yeah. The only time my dad smiles is when I’m suffering lol.
It must be wonderful to have had parents that loved you.
T Hobbs have a warm hug on me.🤗
He's like him,
And he hasn't changed a bit.
I met Jay at biker’s corner in Malibu. The nicest and coolest guy ever! Bummer that he didn’t raise any kids. He would’ve been a great father!
I wish I could LIKE this a million times! Jay Leno is an exceptional individual, and now we know the main reason why.
Damm listening to Jay,s story had me tearing up
WOW! Had tears rolling down my face. (I'm 63 soon to be 64) Dads can be pretty unappreciated! I had a hard working dad with a temper but NEVER hit anyone or even close and my mother was truly a work of art. This made me go back and think of the years he put in to give us a good life. Thanks Jay! Thanks Dad!
yep.
I remember when this first aired and it made me like Jay even more.
To say i had a horrible father, is an understatement. Growing up in the seventies, many of my friends had good fathers, some policemen, teacher's etc, i always envied them, but growing up the way i did, taught me to be as good a father as i could be, never lost my temper, always handled things in a fair and controlled manner, never berated or beat my boy, like my father had done to me, always encouraged him, for me to disipline him only meant to raise my voice alittle, or use a deeper tone, its amazing how well that works, my son now has a 5 year old boy, and he amazingly uses the same temperment and control i did with him,,,seeing jay talk about his father makes me tear up some, its a beautiful thing to have a good father...
First time seeing this and proves to me why i love this guy... True class act, down to earth guy. Love his Garage show too
CHEERS JAY. . . MY BEST FRIEND WAS MY FATHER, NEAR 20 YEARS SINCE HE PASSED AWAY. AND IT STILL HURTS. THANKS FOR SHARING WITH US.
Thank you for posting this online. I was one of the viewers who caught these five minutes nearly two decades ago and "There are some people who just know to do the right thing" and his final grieving statement "It's lonely at the top - you have no idea" left an impression. It is the most genuine, heartfelt moment I've ever seen on television -- even more powerful because it came so unexpectedly within his late night comedy show routine.
I watched this back in the day in the UK... choked me up then...chokes me up now.
I grew up in the Carson generation and never failed to watch Johnny every night - it was a family tradition. When Jay took over I only watched the show if there was a particular celebrity I wanted to see. I just couldn't connect with Jay's sanitized brand of humour. I never disliked him...he just wasn't Johnny. Fast forward many years later and I've watched dozens and dozens of his Leno's Garage youtube videos...and finally connected with him. Not only is he a fellow gearhead, but I began to see the real Jay Leno. Down-to-earth...just a regular guy's guy. No network agenda. No TV personna. Just a guy...a guy you wanna hang out with...have a beer with and shoot the s**t awhile. Thanks for posting this vid nearly a decade ago - it was a touching moment that I could really identify with in regards to my own father.
I've never forgotten this. It was Jay Leno's finest hour.
That's the 1st time I've seen Jay's tribute to his dad.... since i saw it live on tv.... way back - when was it? - 1995, 1996? It's as moving today as it was then when i sat watching it in my tiny Studio apartment in Downtown San Francisco. Thanks so much for posting. In a world where the "sun always shines on TV"...... it remains Jay's best most heartfelt monologue & it deserves to be seen by millions more.
Jay has a heart of gold! He loved his Pop that's for sure!
I remember the night night he spoke, and it's just as special today. "Keep fighting the good fight..."
What a great story. My dads been dirt nappin today its been 30 yrs. Somehow this vid shows up. Sometimes I get goose bumps. This is one.
Thanks for sharing this. When the whole thing with Conan was going on a few years ago and so many of my friends would talk about how they "hated" Jay Leno, all I could think about was watching this when I was about 10 years old with my own father and what an impression it made on me. I just kept wondering how anybody could hate Jay Leno. It seemed so crazy. More people should see this.
5years ago... You still gay?
Bri F
Are you still a prick?
It was NBC that let Jay Leno go from his job initially. He didn't retire or pull a Brett Favre although it seems like he did at the time. He was pushed out by NBC for no apparent reason. Then they gave him the Jay Leno show. Then the Conan fiasco went down. NBC was to blame, not Leno.
Somehow i felt the conan incident was really a poor excuse for all the hate and jealousies to find a legitimate face...they went after him with all they had...
Yes, the Conan fans really needed somebody to blame for that mess, but now it's well documented that the *NBC* executives were the real architects of "The Tonight Show debacle. Jay was the fall guy for their mistakes, and, to a degree, Conan's mistakes, too.
The ONLY Tonight Show I EVER saw...I miss you so much Jay Leno...GOD Bless You!!!💕
Started seeing Jay Leno on Letterman , then I watched him take over the tonight show but always mentioned I mean always mentioned his parents , he is to private, won’t say it , he adored I mean adored his parents always on Letterman and the Tonight show Jay always mentioned his parents how they were doing , all I can say is what a good son I know they must have adored , loved him encouraged him to keep on going with his career . So sorry Mr Leno for your loss it’s hard to lose a parent , a dearly loved father or mother my sympathies to you and your family -may they RIP and I hope you believe they still are watching you from above.
Thanks for posting this. I recall seeing this in its initial broadcast, as others on this thread had, and it remained with me for all these years. I never saw a rerun of it, never heard anyone else comment on it, despite it being one of the most genuine and heart felt moments in late night tv history. A good dad, as Jay's evidently was, is one of the greatest gifts anyone could have.
you're welcome.and it is the greatest gift.
sean josh Your screen name is awesome! I'm Sean & some friends gave me Josh as a street name lol!
Great comment too! I saw this episode a yr before I entered the Military & by then (me aged 23) both my Parents had passed...seeing this was both painful & helpful!
Your kind and loving heart is wonderfully obvious!! Not to mention the gift you have for the quickest mind ever. Thanks for all the laughter.
I'm going to really miss Leno but on a good note him leaving means i will get to go to bed after the news.
Jay's awesome, thanks for sharing. I lost my Dad to cancer in 2014 & I still miss him dearly. We were very close, my parents lived right around the corner from my Wife & I. For 50yrs he was always there for me if I ever needed anything. RIP Papa & GOD Bless...
This is such an awesome recount of his dad. Thank you for sharing!!
Just watched Leno's interview on 60 Minutes. I thought for sure that they would have shown this clip about his dad passing away. It was his best moment in his 22 years. I saw it that night and did not see it again until I visited your post today on You Tube. Thanks for posting it!
you're welcome.
Met your dad at mgh, had a nice conversation with him, I understand where you came from and how you turned out like you did, wonderful people, all that needs to be said
Jay is a real man. A man of character. One of the best. A true role model.
Agreed. But I am puzzled that he fundraised for Biden. Like one of the weakest flim flam politicians of my lifetime. Like Nixon, only without any leadership skills.
Jay’s such a good guy but Biden? Really?!
I remember someone writing in to R&T magazine, saying, "Jay Leno is like a regular guy". The Editor replied, "Jay Leno IS a regular guy".
now i have a sense of who he really is. this is golden and very touching. his parents and brother are gone now but his memories of them are good. he feels like they did a good job and that they were there for him when he needed them....and he is truly successful as a individual. what more could you really ask in this life?
Gives a great perspective of how his father excelled at selling life insurance, a job most people think is boring. Some people can take a mundane job and turn it into something great.
I remember watching this when it aired with my mom when I was 11. I didn't remember the roast beef story, but I always remembered his observations about being "lonely at the top." Thanks for posting this.
Every time I click on something about Jay, I just keep gaining respect for this man. It would be such an honor to just meet and have a great conversation with. Jay you are a very talented and wise man. There are very few people that I have never met that I can honestly say, " I love you man".
JAY IS A FIRST CLASS MAN.THANKS GOR ALL YOU DO FOR OTHERS..AND GOD BLESS YOUR PARENTS IN HEAVEN WAITING FOR YOU...
ABSOLUTELY LOVE JAY LENO.. MY KINDA GUY! LOVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! 😍
I love Jay Leno...he really was the best of them...without a doubt..
The best person in television.
Michael Rooney and now the best person in CZcams
Jay Leno seems like a decent soul. Even with his success he is approachable and respectful of others. I always enjoy his yarns being a fellow gearhead.
My all time favorite Jay moment. Very touching! Thanks for sharing it.
Mine is about his brother and his car. His brother was his hero.
He’s the perfect example of what a man. Should be, ❤🦋🙏🏻
What a wonderful story. Jay is such a great all American man.
I love Jay Leno’s story’s.
I totalllllyyyy relate to the 'fight the good fight' part...and look at how they had the daggers out for him and jabbed it everywhere they could....Leno's still fighting the good fight...my man...love seeing him as one of my role models...
Thank you for letting us get to know a little bit about your father/Dad.......Great man.
I have always loved Jay Leno. It's not just the Italian thing, it is that he is rare and that makes him precious! Mavis is one of the luckiest women on the planet. I love his autobiography, "Leading With My Chin". There is a story about his parents that made me do the ugly cry. He makes this world better by being here. Mavis....damn, I can only imagine your life! Peace and Love to both of you!
My life motto has been "fight the good fight" for over 20 years and this clip is why!
Most people never praise their parents enough. I lost my father last April. He was a good man, an unbiased and an easy going man. One that taught me so many things not taught anyplace else. I miss him very much and I can easily relate with Mr Leno about how awful it feels to lose them.
Thx so much for posting. I never saw this before. Jay seems to be a rare jewel of a human being. Leaving aside the money and fame, which don't interest me, how great it would be to get to be Jay's friend.
Even though I'm not a big fan of Leno you can tell he had great respect for his father, as I did for mine.
Like Maya Angelou said (one of my favorite mentors) just do right, pick up the battle this is your life. I love seeing people do this Jay and his father are both great inspirations, amazing people.
yeah true...it had a great impact on me...when i heard that story...i felt hey i could be a guy like that...but a good heart isnt enough...you gotta earn...n earn big...stay faithful...be kind around the house...make financial plans...n live you life while at it...
I've read his book and he brings up his parents quite a lot and how eccentric they are, I personally think that this is the much touching thing i've ever heard him say about them.
Jay is absolutely at his funniest when he talks about his parents. All of those stories are in his book Leading With My Chin.
Man, that makes me love Leno.
What a beautiful story.
Thanks for posting one of the most touching, honest moments I have ever seen in any medium.
God Bless Jay and his family.
I can't thank you enough for posting this. I have been looking for this for about 3-4 years. I remember watching this as a "old" teenager and thinking I want to be that Dad. I hope my son says this about me one day.
Damn onions...
I love Jay so much.
I spent too much time hating Leno because I was a letterman fan. Too young to realize there was never a loser in that battle and that Leno was still good...just different.
I like this guy more and more the more I learn about him. He’s from the next town over from where I grew up. Just finally got to meet him last year out here in Commiefornia.
God Bless Jay Leno ☺
Never met my father until I was in my late 20's. He spent most of my life in jail.
You can see where Craig Ferguson got the inspiration to be open with the audience and viewers when both his parents died during his time as Late Late Show host.
One of the good guys. Few and far between in show biz. Would like to shake his hand and tell him thank you for proving being a good person is commendable.
thank you jay hug buddy ! :)
I remember watching this. Very candid and human. A rare moment for late night talk shows.
I remember watching this the night it aired.... After that night I never watched Letterman again.
One my favorite comedians
WOW. what a touching tribute to both Jay and his father
Love it ! Jay is the Best !
Thanks for posting this. Although I'm sure I saw it at the time, I haven't seen it anywhere since then, and it strengthens my regard for Jay. In all the years of watching him on TV, I never saw him badmouth anyone on a personal level, just as a generalization. I'm grateful, so I subbed and Liked.
Jay is a natural funny guy because he is a genuine person from a real down to earth family.
Beautiful
He's a good guy in Heaven
much respect for that Leno guy 🧐🤨👏🏼💯👊🏻🥇🎭
Jay Leno is a very good man and I am very proud of him.
More Leno...czcams.com/video/DLd7Hiwi0Nw/video.html
One can hardly do better... than to publicly honor their parents... even after they're gone.... maybe especially so.
I'm sure Jay has become the man his father always wanted him to be.
Like father like Son Mr. Leno
I'm the biggest Letterman and Conan fan and am very angry at Jay for what has happened, but this is a very touching video.
I can understand why Leno was popular with more people than Letterman through this video.
He may have hurt a lot of people, but he has worked extremely hard at his job and I respect him for that.
Jay is such an amazing guy!
I always preferred the comedy of David Letterman over Leno but as a human being Jay wins hands down.
great video
If you like letterman over this man you should be ashamed
Couldn't agree with you more.
Couldn't agree with you more.
WOW You was lucky. My dad beet me every day until I ra away at 14. 👍🙏✌️🌞😎🏎🍻
I saw Jay do his stand up act in Vegas a few years ago and I was floored by the sheer amount of jokes he told, I'm guessing as many as three hundred. But perhaps even more impressive was that it was all clean and it wasn't at the expense of other celebrities or politicians. Jay never seemed to have a personal political agenda when he was on the Tonight show unlike today when it seems that , to one degree or another, all of the late night talk show hosts seem to be intent on bashing the current political environment.
Bravo, Leno. To a fellow Scot. Doing the right thing is the highest principle.
Hey Jay !! I friggin love ya man.
GOD Love Him Hug ! :)
