Piers Morgan Interviews Jay Leno on Donald Trump, David Letterman, Harvey Weinstein And More

[@bethgates9555]

In the week after 9/11, Jay's wife finally got to fly into the Burbank Airport. Jay pulled up to the curb but was told by. the Glendale officers he needed to move along (security was very tight). Before he left he asked if these officers had eaten, These officers had no place to buy food as the restaurants in the airport were closed. Jay came back with pizzas for all these officers.....Jay is the most understated thoughtful person. I know all this because I know one of the Glendale officers who was there.

I’ve met Jay a couple of times long ago when I was a student, he graciously gave us a tour of his garage. He wanted to rearrange some furniture so my classmate and I helped him move it around, afterwards he disappeared for a few minutes and came back with a tray of cokes and snacks for us, apologizing that he didn’t have anything else. we were students, no one special. He is the most polite, down to earth person. Funny thing, I’m a teacher now and my class exhibited their projects at the Makerfaire, Conaan O’Brien stopped by and spent half an hour speaking with them and genuinely inquiring about their projects, great guy, Another celebrity that hasn’t lost touch.

[@joefriday6324]

Meeting a celebrity doesn't make him a good guy....or his opinions 'right.' Jay Leno, another California brainwashed elitist. He is dead wrong on the economy....and of course everything seems 'fine' to him.....he is worth hundreds of millions and lives a lavish lifestyle with no concern about the cost of ANYTHING! He is far removed from his working class roots....sad to see him support a guy as corrupt as Joe Biden and his family of criminals. Leno is another shill for Leftists.

You are human beings and special. Jay recognized this. That is what makes him special. Not his money. Not his fame. His real legacy was making a better day for you. He did this as well as an entertainer but so does everyone else who contributes in their own way to help us build a better society.

[@ReligionOfSacrifice]

Let impeach Trump on collusion with Russia and for two years they study it on your money, but they drop it and impeach him on a phone call from 8 days earlier as if they knew it wasn't about accomplishing something that matters. Then Nancy Pelosi screams out "We'll impeach him twice! He'll be the first President to be impeached twice!" No talk about the crime. This ought to make Democrats think more about Democrats being wicked than Trump. Then charged wtih 97 crimes and innocent until proven guilty, but he does get guilty of evaluating his properties higher than what they are worth. By that logic all people owning anything are guilty for don't you list your house at more cause you can always lower the price to sell it? If it is a logically large purchase, as anything Trump owns in NYC would be a large price, you would have your own personal evaluation done. How about that? Democrats are stupid. Children don't need chemical castration. Ukraine has a border you care about so why don't you care about America's borders. Finally, children are beheaded and minors are fucked. So do you support Israel or what I just brought up from Palestine? Read Isaiah 14:28-31 and know Palestine whole and the whole world judged by fire, so think hard about your cause in Palestine even more than all the rest.

One of my best friends from high schools dad was an antiques/ car collector/trader and when he died of cancer, Leno came to the funeral, all the way up here in Canada, to a little unknown town to most of the country, let alone the US. All the years I knew him, he never bragged or said anything about who he sold cars to, only after his death I come to find out. Jay is an incredibly grateful and humble man, just a regular car guy that happened on good fortune that allowed him to live out his car crazy fantasy like the rest of us gear heads would have given the opportunity like he's had.

When we finished our meal, my son said I want to take a photo of him! I said go up to him and ask him first, before taking the photo. He walked out and I was watching him from inside waiting for finish paying our check, all of a sudden I saw Mr. Leno get up took my son's phone, gave it to one of his friends, stood by my son with his hand on his shoulder, and his friend took the photo.

I am so proud of Jay Leno and he did not fail to continue to be one of the nicest and down to earth guys. He is extremely polite and I like his opinions on the areas that Piers Morgan questioned him about. I'm a car nut, so I have been following his Jay Leno Garage for years, but his is still such a funny guy. Thanks, Jay Leno.

[@gymshoe8862]

Jay has a great personality but here he showed no insight on politics whatsoever!

Love this guy and still miss him on the Tonight Show; to me he's the funniest stand up comedian ever.

[@Bimmer_MD]

It was nice to hear Jay speak about something other than cars. Don't get me wrong I love when he shares his automotive knowledge, but this was an interesting side that I haven't had the opportunity to hear very much about. He handled the tougher divisive questions really well, class act. My favorite part was when he spoke about Sean Connery though. That was hilarious.

Piers is a smug, pompous, arrogant schmuck. I love Jay, but he was kissing the left's ass. There is no way he can be a "fan" of biden. Biden is a corrupt, incompetent, racist, opportunistic, self serving establishment hack that goes against everything Jay seems to beleive in. Jay knows the media and Hollywood will not tolerate anyone speaking against their agenda! I really like Jay, but there is no way he is a leftist.

This man is a treasure . Thankyou for this . He knows he’s not perfect . He knows he doesn’t know everything. He’s gracious enough to understand people’s different perspectives of which some he doesn’t agree . All of that is fine . Life’s a balance . I think he’s got it . We can’t all be the same .most people cannot face themselves and would rather change other minds to keep things comfortable. In my opinion you see no better than the next . No more entitled than the next . Awareness is amazing and it’s great that it’s encouraged. Be sure to see all perspectives otherwise you could get stuck in misery . Like he says you’d go to a surgeon not someone who talks the talk . Being open and being on the fence is also ok . Be your own master of your own destiny rather than being a puppet in someone else’s narrative .

The economy actually is doing better, inflation is lower, unemployment is down. Sadly not everyone is experiencing it. COVID hurt us in many ways. Biden is doing what any president could. At least he hasn't passed a bill giving huge tax cuts to corporations and the ri ch.

[@bryancordoves240]

He can’t even communicate a complete sentence and you’re saying he’s doing everything a president could do?

Jay Leno…we need more of him in the world. We grew up in the same Massachusetts town, both went to same Boston college …. But never met. When my mother passed away on 3.18.20, we buried her in the plot my parents purchased many years prior. While walking down the row to see who was buried near my mom, I saw that Jay’s parents are 6 graves sites down and his brother a few rows behind his parents. I know visit his parents grave when I visit my mom’s. Sometimes leaving flowers. It’s a relief to see him doing well after such a scary accident with such a humble and kind heart ❤️ Blessings to Jay and Mavis. I hope we get to meet one day back in Andover.

I grew up with Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. When Leno took over, I was like 'he's no Carson...the boomers are now in control.' After I saw what the show has become with Fallon (I only watched a couple episodes and couldn't stand it) I came to appreciate how much Carson like Leno really was on the show. It was just a bit of a different style. Letterman as well.

It was so subtle as to have possibly been missed, but the legendarily "down-the-middle," apolitical Jay Leno basically rebuked Trump and the idea of him being president again, while endorsing Joe Biden and his current record as POTUS. If this doesn't speak to the clear distinction between the two men as opposing candidates, not sure what does.

[@truthvsopinion]

Respectfully disagree. As subtle as a slap in the face IMO. Despite his obvious restraint, if you listen carefully to not only what he says but how he says it, it's clear that he's only showing the tip of the iceberg as to how strongly feels. We will win this one, Jay! One old-timer to another.
