Jay Leno responds to Gambling Problem Allegations

[@dougpeters1625]

It reminds me of one of Jay’s jokes he did on a monologue he did on the Tonight Show. He said some lady won an $11 million jackpot in Las Vegas now she’s only $200 down.

[@0anant0]

It similar to his joke about gas prices will come down to $4 by end of summer (prices were then rising to about $2)

[@oldiesgeek454]

😅👍

[@caveatemp]

He's worth $450 million and staying at a cheap hotel. Let that sink in.

[@StephenDoty84]

Being frugal is a mindset. Mark Harmon is worth about $100 million and takes pride in cutting coupons to shop. Warren Buffett says he never buys anything for himself.

Why ? wtf is wrong with them, get it spent

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

Elon is the richest guy in the world and doesn’t own a home. Cool stuff. Perhaps why they are so good at their day jobs.

[@StephenDoty84]

@@jamesdellaneve9005 J.M. Keynes was the richest economist of his day, a master investor, and never owned a home either; just rented. Same with Benny Hill; Benny had an enormous fortune after his TV series. He didn't own a car or a home; he rented a luxury apartment and never used the big rooms in it. When asked why he never owed a car he said, "They break down. and what if I get a ticket?" He wanted the simplest life. He watched TV all day.

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

@ Benny didn’t have a great life after the show though. Not sure what was going on. Probably drank. The show was funny. I watched it first run on PBS.

He made a joke out of it, comedians do that

[@jlhanlon1980]

Yawn, he's worth $400 to 500 million. His car collection alone is worth $55 million dollars, he's not in debt. If anything, I'd say his wife possibly attacked him because she has dementia. No, I'm not saying that's what happened, but I'd believe that before I'd believe him having a gambling debt. The left will create any delusion to satiate their desires, even to make everyone just as criminal as them.

He doesn’t have to. It’s obviously nonsensical.

Dude hes a 74 year old with 2 wrecked knees. Hes gonna fall. It usually takes people a few years to accept they cant do things they used to. The difference is that when most ultra rich people are at that point they have handlers and bodyguards, drivers, or other hamgers on with them at all times. They arent just going to stroll through town like an average person all by themselves like Leno will.

Three different chances to deny it, and and never denied it. Just turned it into a joke. Didn’t even say “No, come on…” and laugh it off

[@steveknick1978]

Leno started as a standup comic. Those guys usually have major childhood trauma & more psychological issues & addictions than you can imagine. He has kept a clean image but this wouldn’t shock me.

[@golfer5636]

“Kind of funny how the mob would travel to Greenburg Pa and wait at a Hampton Inn…”- is it tho? Leno did nothing to dispel the innuendo and allegations (not that he needs to)

No. Jay has two vices: cars and pizza. But Jay has always had a bit of a reckless streak. He was going down the Ventura Freeway on his motorcycle, and saw Merv Griffin driving his Mercedes. While going over 65 mph, Jay maneuvered next to the driver's side and opened the door, much to Merv's consternation.

[@stephenedgecock]

[@jakeviolet2195]

There's no law against giving a gift. If Jay owed the mob money, he could give them one of his cars and the law would have nothing to say about it. Or he could sell the car at auction, or in a private sale, and then give the money to whoever he wants, and nobody would we the wiser. The point is, Jay Leno has assets. Lots of them.

[@phil4986]

Like many other people, millions of them, I love Jay like a brother. My brother has to stop having accidents. This last one almost took him out. If it's dizziness from the blood pressure medicines or the blood thinners, Jay, my life brother, it's o.k. to go slow and have a security team member with you at all times. You are simply worth too much to your family... and ...worth too much... money wise... to go anywhere alone now. Get well and be smart. Let your security team be with you at all times. That way, if you fall, someone is right there - instantly - to help you. Who will take care of your wife if you have more accidents like this. Let your security team be with you. Always. Please.

I have a friend who sold coke in New York for a couple months back in 2005 until a junkie stole his stash. He bailed back home to Lethbridge Alberta Canada and was fine for a couple months until they tracked him down threw a couple bricks at him and told him when he sold that,(and paid them.) then he would be allowed to be done with them. Depending on your debt you can run but you can’t hide.

Something fishy about Leno's response. He doesn't say it's a ridiculous notion. Might not be a gambling debt. But, perhaps something else he got roughed up for. Like when Suge Knight held Vanilla Ice upside down over a balcony. Maybe Jay said "no" to some people who wanted a "yes." But, Jay is not coming off clean.
