Betty King - Interview - Jay Leno's Garage

[@MamaMkubwa]

I misspoke and I'm "only" 80. Like my grandfather, I love new technology, including KZbin.

[@cantalope67]

Betty King you are a true treasure and a very Charming woman. I wish I had the chance to talk to you. Your grandfather was a wonderful and smart man and left a great legacy

[@RyanBrosnahan]

This is a wonderful video, thank you for sharing your family legacy!

[@email4664]

Good evening Betty- If this message gets through, may I ask if your Family history book is available? I am a collector of White commercial trucks, and am very enthusiastic about your Family's contribution to the world

[@paulazemeckis7835]

You did not mis-speak when you said u r only 80. If you have good genetics, diet, social life, exercise, and have functional, living family....you will live to at least 100,big mot more.

[@fightclub8927]

Dear Betty, You are a charming lady.....and I LOVE your voice! What a wonderful family.

[@cmccoy3972]

The effort this gentle lady made to come to your garage is laudable. What nice gifts she gave to you, I know you will treasure them.

[@fishhuntadventure]

Very classy woman

[@kenhurley4441]

Watching this in 2019 and getting to see the granddaughter of a man that helped make America great! KZbin is the new Tonight Show!

[@DonTruman]

I thought that too while watching this. Johnny Carson used to have average folks on his show and it was a joy. He'd have movie stars and music stars too, but also regular folks with an interesting story to tell. The sort of things everyone could enjoy.

[@benjamins9121]

@@DonTruman Now it's only A list pop stars and party games, and nonstop fake laughter. Just awful

[@servicarrider]

Jay Leno, you are a class act. What a wonderful person.

[@klwthe3rd]

Ms Betty King is such an amazing lady. With all the wealth and prestige of being the premier automobile historian/collector, Betty was still gracious enough to present him with two family heirlooms that were priceless. I can see how much it really meant to her to finally get to meet Jay and get her premier ride in her grandfather's original design steam car. It is interviews like this that really makes Jay Leno shine as an astounding human being. He always goes above and beyond for people and makes their dreams come through. The whole world is so proud of you Jay!

[@jimham1043]

Jay is such a classy guy, Thanks Betty for sharing your memories.

[@dashan6249]

What a wonderful interview, That lady was able to enjoy the ride and pride of her grandfathers car , a precious gift from you and in return she was able to walk you through a first hand and personal history of her family. A great bargain in anyones book.

[@pvavmnpls]

Jay this was amazing and so touching, it made me cry...thank you so much for all you do and taking Betty for the ride she waited 80 years for, thank you so sincerely sir..P

[@ThomasSepstrup]

Jay Leno is such a warm and friendly person. 🤗 Great video. 👍

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

Very well done. Glad she had her steam car ride. Jay, you continue to amaze with your interesting people and vehicles.

[@marstondavis]

I had a little ear in my eye when this video ended. Two classy people. Jay has always been cool and Betty, you're the bomb.

[@Spike643]

One of the best Jay Leno videos ever! Betty, thank you for your Grandfather's part in American auto history.

[@chuckkottke]

Jay, I think there still exists a closed car White, I remember a photo in an old car book of Queen Mary of England being chauffeured about in a 1907 White, and another photo of a restored White Opera touring car (a beautiful car with curved glass windows and a light blue paint job) in American Hammered Piston Ring's photo album of early automobiles. Here it is in Floyd Clymer's Those Wonderful Old Automobiles, page 46,"The late Dowager Queen Mary of England rode in a stately White Steamer in 1907 when she was Princess of Wales (circular photo below).". I would imagine they still have it tucked away somewhere, why not contact them and see if you could have a look? And thanks again for interviewing Betty King, I enjoyed listening to you both reminiscing! My uncle Julius and aunt Margaret had a White gasoline car built in 1912 that they used to take on the old car tours around Michigan, and they both had great fun tooling around in the UP in the White.

[@shawns.2851]

A great, seemingly approachable Lady! God bless her!

[@brucecarney4416]

she was graceful and Jay brought us all a little slice of Americana Pie! Thank you both. seeing her in one of grandpa's machines was heartwarming.

[@ClintGrantham]

Jay is really something else ... I can't imagine many celebrities caring anything about this woman, her history or what she has to say. Jay seems really down to earth.

[@leegoddard2618]

Jay, you are a wonderful man. Letting this lady, FINALLY ride in her family's Legacy. 🥰😁👍

[@aussiechris5904]

what a lovely thing to do Jay, I'm sure Ms King had a blast on the ride

[@scootfd3s]

I love this so much!!! you could never expect this from any other auto show.

[@Gr8Layks]

I’ve seen most all JLG vids. How did I miss this one for 7 years?!

[@Player_Review]

You know, I about enjoy the interviews more than the cars; I think part of the enjoyment comes from them being overlooked by the mainstream viewer.

[@MamaMkubwa]

I misspoke and was 30 when Grandfather died in 1962.

[@DJ-365]

OK, i Thought you misspoke, LOL AWESOME Car....

[@frankburns8871]

Thank you! I was doing the math and trying to make it make sense!

[@ChestnutCove]

Betty King wow great video love it it been a dream of mine to get a car like this Maybe one day I can at least ride in one

[@billythekidperez7343]

Love you Betty

[@DaveTheRred]

I loved this interview! She is a wonderful woman, with great memories. It was awesome that she got to ride in one of her grandfather's cars.

[@apple_cider1207]

Jay Leno is such a great talent. Real human. Also such a distinguished guest.

[@MADelectriCITY]

I like how he ends it there. Cool.

[@LaurenMiddleton28]

I love talking to older people who still have their wits.. full of experience and knowledge. I use to talk too this 95 year old women when i lived in NYC. She told me about life in the 40's and 50's and what a special time it was..

[@tomdunigan234]

I work with Preston king, I believe Betty's nephew and he is understandably proud of his family history. I enjoyed seeing your segments on your White automobiles.

[@jimzivny1554]

Great episode, very nice woman. Quite a bit of history being discussed, Rollin White had a big career after the steam car days had passed.

[@krunotdotfi]

Thanks Betty and Jay.

[@Pilski]

Jay Leno, the respectful, ultra-considerate, appreciative, compassionate MAN exposed again. What a wonderfully done video! THANK you,magain, Jay!!!

[@christophermay4366]

I don't know how I missed this one.....this video really shows just who Jay is.....this was awesome....to find out there are still living relatives that knew the creators of car's or certain technology.....this lady was sharp as a tac....I could sit all day and talk to someone like her....just an amazing person from an amazing family....

[@theosl01]

One of my favorite clips - keep up the good work.

[@brooks2010video]

This is what Jay Leno will be most remembered for... A combination of humanity and mechanical cars

[@kennethbredow3098]

Out of all of Jay's show's, i liked this one the best!

[@canuckloyalist4681]

Jay you are such a classy guy, people like you are what makes America great!

[@DonTruman]

What a great interview. Thanks Jay, and Mrs. King.

[@repairitdontreplaceit]

jay is such a great guy you can tell by the way he talks with this amazing lady he is a true gent

[@MamaMkubwa]

Actually, I'm 80. Both Jay and I failed to noticed that I misspoke!

[@kenshafer5755]

What a wonderful story l would love to purchase one of your books if that is possible better if it was autographed

[@jeffreyengle2762]

Really enjoyed watching this!

[@The1saturn]

[@jamessveinsson6006]

Such a deep appreciation of the family history.

[@Larry-ct5mg]

[@richardforaker7191]

[@barbarafarrar3382]

Z BGVGGGYY OH ? Stem Pi

[@ACTSFashions]

Great Stuff Jay. You have become the steward of these magnificent pieces of history. Sharing with the world and driving them instead of locking them away means so much more than a dusty old museum. I am from the Boston area and have been a fan for years. Thanks so very much for everything you do.

[@MonteOlsen]

What a great guy you are, Jay. And what a terrific lady she is. Thanks for sharing this and giving us a little peak into your world.

[@robertstewart3756]

I always stayed awake to watch you on NBC and now I seem to not get enough of you on KZbin.. Jay you are the best. And inspire me

[@TheGnewb]

This is a great interview, well done and educational.

[@chadskyblue1]

I love when things come full circle like that.

[@komerwest5872]

Such Joy you brought to her . See her eye shine with pure excitement and joy as he goes down the road. Jay may God in heaven bless you for what you have done for Miss Betty.

[@golfpark94]

Jay Leno has the gift of giving the most respect to his guest. This is why i loved his Tonight show and still love what he does with this channel.

[@Ecosse57]

a fascinating and charming woman! thanks jay so much for bringing these cars, people, and stories to the general public.

[@patrickpadilla2033]

Well Mr Leno your kindness paid off big the two gifts she gave you is a great items for your car collection God bless !

[@gregorysmith9706]

THIS is one reason I love Jay Leno - he's so approachable and not at all unappreciative of what has come before him and given us the stuff we have today. History is such a cool thing, and to give this lady a ride in this car designed by her grandfather is such a neat gesture. :-)

[@Tshasta4449]

what a wonderful video,, really loved the history lesson. She sounds like she was quite knowledgeable about the White steam car.

[@I8ITSK8N]

I know this is old and not sure if you get this message Jay, but I love all of your steam engines! From the White's to the Stanley's to the stationary steam engines built into the shop floor! Please Jay please show more! Thank you for keeping the history running!! Just another Fan...

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

I watch Jay and dream, he lives in another world. I can afford a tea kettle LOL. What a great historical interview. Two thumbs up Jay!

[@billwessels207]

Just put the tea kettle in the car and awayyyyyyyyy you goooooo!

[@tulsatoolfool]

Mr. Leno, please keep this up if possible. I salute you sir for your respect of people and their machines.

[@ricksimpson1462]

Jay, you're the best! What a wonderful thing you are doing for the world by being such a caring, careful and respectful caretaker of all of this beautiful and rich automotive history! Thank you!

[@themrjones]

Jay such passion that gets down to the heart and sole. We can feel the energy she feels when you take her for her first ride. We love you grandpa. You will always be loved.

[@samrumade9429]

Another example of Jay being benevolent. A wonderful man. God bless you!

[@areadership3306]

This is the 1st time I have ever left a comment on any thing ever. That was an awesome piece of programming. Thank you and my esteem of Jay Leno continues to grow & surprise me ( as I was not a great fan of The Tonight Show). Redemption & recognition.

[@iaintwonderwoman5720]

🌼Precious!! What a feather in your cap, Jay. Such a great video! 🌼

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

Jay always has a class act. Very informing and pleasant. The car looks as though it could run very smooth and fast enough. Very cool stuff as always.

[@toddhupp]

Jay: It really is fascinating when you bring in the history of the cars;especially the personal stories of the men who developed them.Betty is such a charming and interesting lady.

[@storyteller1749]

Great episode. Thanks for giving us this look back in history. Me. King is certainly a classy lady. Its awesome that Jay was able to.give her a ride ...her first ride.... In a vehicle that her grandfather made famous. Just a great great episode.

[@Jayf1981]

Jay you are so nice to people, way to go Leno!

[@athelton]

Great interview. I'm sure she really enjoyed the ride.

[@krekhorohenian2154]

Wonderful interview! Both of you are class acts. Thank you for exploring the human side of automobile enthusiasm.

[@barath4545]

I think its very openminded of you to come here and learn this tech. Very nice story you had to tell and how great of Jay to grant you the opportunity of driving the "family car" (literally :-)). I noticed you were in a wheelchair during the interview, was it easy to get up into the very tall White car for you? Thanks again for sharing the history with us.

[@69tdh]

She is adorable and I love Jay. I could hang out with the both of them all day.

[@feez357]

Just a beautiful lady! My wife tells me my 80 year old dad is "so cute" so I showed her this "beautiful lady".

[@cantalope67]

What a gracious and Charming woman. Just think What a Wonderful World this would be if the it were filled with people like her. It will be a sad day when Jays time comes.

[@charliewolf7500]

Thank you for sharing Betty and Jay.

[@DaveSlaz]

Jay the biggest kid on youtube, and a gentleman with it !! great vid Jay.

[@petersampson5202]

I am proud of you guys Jay. God bless you.

[@sadwingsraging3044]

So glad you had her on Jay and gave her that ride.

[@hondakar]

Great video! And really touching! Greetings from Norway

[@Bamsebrakar2011]

Helt enig! Absolutely agree!

[@sidneycashion7817]

Well she was a fountain of knowledge and a great interview glad she got to ride in the car finally.

[@sherriecaskie3111]

This is inspirational! God Bless them both!

[@AnaloguePhoto]

One of my favorite videos on KZbin.

[@motors5153]

Jay, what a gentlemen. Being from Cleveland there still is a lot of the old White Motor Company land marks around.

[@v8sserieschevy917]

Well im pretty sure I'm a steam guy now. This video made me understand Jay's love for the steam car more than any of his other steam videos. Very enjoyable video!

[@warrenjbrown4898]

What an elegant, articulate lady...enjoyed hearing her express herself...

[@archiguitarchi]

Yes, an amazing gal. Thanks Jay!

[@grox3328]

What a classy family.

[@2008calander]

Well done Jay, Looks like you showed her a great time. I'm 38 and was driven around buy one of my dads friends Stanley steamer when I was young and it was a blast. Steam powered cars are just something you have to experience. Why do you think Jay has so many varieties of steamers.

[@Stan7670]

Wonderful past and present connection. Writing off a steam comeback Jay? After all ii is just a hybrid.

[@opera93]

Great ideas, and nice Stories.. Particularly, the White Family descendants, etc......thank you.
