Breaking Bread with Jay Leno

[@richardringler7890]

Glad you are better Jay. Thanks for your commitment to preserving/harboring the great car/cycle collection -works of art and techno wonders.

[@johnforeman634]

I’ve seen Jay a couple times. He’s the funniest comedian I’ve ever seen live. I had no idea. I remember my face actually hurt from laughing non stop for so long. I recall that there were no dead spots. It was continuous rapid fire jokes. This was back in the nineties.

[@voicetube]

GREAT interview! I had the honor of doing voiceovers for Jay (the Tonight Show with Jay Leno) from around 2000 through 2007. I was basically the go-to dude for comedy bits where they needed a character or fake announcer, movie trailer guy etc. It was great working with Jay's team!

[@HugeHeart13]

❤how fun!

[@raycatlin3554]

Ha ha Oh Fortunate - One 1. . .🎯 👏, great accolade👍👋

[@bradenrodriguez5183]

sure buddy

[@voicetube]

@@bradenrodriguez5183 I find it somewhat (but not entirely) humorous that you don't believe me.… Okay it's hilarious!

[@voicetube]

@@HugeHeart13 Thank you, I appreciate your comment. It was pretty wild - back in the day when I had a pager - just before cell phones were ubiquitous - and I'd get a page from that casting person and it would always be a little bit like Christmas. I never took it for granted.

[@AtelierWong]

Mr Leno entertained America for decades and continues to share his smart sense of humor and wit. He is a national treasure.

[@marvinbrando722]

Agree with you. A real comic

[@Jon-cg3df]

Jay is the best😊 No inflated BS from him.😊

[@MWL4466]

We're all happy Jay is still alive. He is a real treasure. Tom, you are magnificent too. Cant wait to get your book. Cheers..

[@Castanon-Kustom]

So glad to see Jay Leno in long form, and with the great Tom Papa

[@patrickvalentine8700]

A wonderful, hilarious chat between old friends. A true gem.

[@emmapeel829]

Thanks for all the giggles, Tom and Jay. Great show!!

[@marygraham3189]

This is one of the best podcasts online! So enjoy the Papa!

[@voicetube]

I laughed extremely hard and applauded at the plastic surgery/how old am I? joke! Actually one of the best I've heard in a while.

[@richardstoffel6585]

Jay memory with jokes and about cars is next level stuff

[@whoadude51]

first time breaking bread-er here, loved this ep! so happy to see jay doing fine, it's truly amazing you can't even tell he ever had severe burns at all. now to continue binging old eps, thanks tom!

[@rdmineer1]

I miss the old guard comedians. They were so genuinely natural. Felt like if the moment just happened you could have a casual conversation. Jay is a national treasure because he embodies that spirit, reflects and shares who they were, just as we remember them. Who else takes the time to do that? No one.

[@patrickmcintyre6507]

i love jay self made humble

[@lesleysanders6737]

Really enjoyed that inview! Wow what a story about Dangerfield having a stroke on stage, and the moment with him Jay had with him in the hospital! Amazing ❤

[@joblo2671]

The fire saw that chin and was like "I am no match." 😂😂 (I love u Jay!! Stay strong bro!!)

[@richardringler7890]

Great discussion on the science and history of stand up and related. Jay is a walking encyclopedia. Fascinating.

[@BillVolpicelli]

Tom I just found you from your genius Netflix show...I will get your book...I am now a fan

[@paulferranti8536]

Love to hear Jay talk about old cars and bikes.

[@bezzarguy]

Jay still cracks me up! Tom Papa is a mensch too.

[@susanadiasjohnson457]

🍞🍷I am reading all these comments below and agree with each of them. Repeatedly Jay is referred to as a "national treasure" and I must say that it really says it all. I'm following his many interviews with great enjoyment. He is so relaxed, comfortable, natural, insightful, honest -- and with a genuine humility rarely seen. This interview is splendid, and I am grateful for your interviewing style that let's Jay be Jay. Super well done by you both.🍞🍷

[@lalah9481]

Jay is spot on about ads on late night; we watch it on KZbin to skip ads.😎👍🏻

[@nancymarzano9798]

Have always loved Jay and will continue to do so!!

[@davedave4658]

Thanks Tom. An invaluable chat to share with us all.

[@richardstoffel6585]

Jay. Yes we need recording of your shows. I will always go see you when you come to town. For sure, my idol since I was like 10. Good to show the next generations ;)

[@aaronlitchfield1268]

The world needs Dave Letterman to do an episode of Leno’s KZbin garage show. Pick a car, any car, but we need to see it. Jerry would make a nice addition.

[@Czechbound]

That was a very nice, laid back chat. I wish Jay would do a vlog for a week of his filming his car show, running to catch his plane to a show. Then back/ on to the next one. I watched a small band vlog their way around 3 festivals during a week this summer and it was really interesting

[@robertphillips6296]

5:55 Interview actually starts.

[@RussMcClay]

Great interview, Tom. I'm Jay's age and just getting to know about your channel. The Maron interview was excellent too. Sorry for being so late for the show (your comedic legacy).

[@therookiesplaybook]

Why is one of the camera angles the back of the guest's head, and the other angle crosses the line of action?

[@oldmanmorgan]

Is Jay's mic off?

[@BPH55]

I’m twenty minutes in and this is already a great podcast! Thanks ,Tommy and Jay! Happy 4th!

[@RonPaulgirls]

THE FLIPPIN PLUGS AND COMMERCIALS WERE 20 MINS AT THE BEGINING, GET REAL

[@SBDavin]

Fantastic interview - thank you!

[@doloreswitkowski5578]

Hyperbolic is exaggerated language. Lol. They meant hyperbaric. Great interview for sure.

[@fitzspike]

Great show Tom!

[@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461]

🙋‍♂️THANKS TOM,FOR INTERVIEWING JAY…VERY GOOD SHOW 👏👏👏…I am the same age as JAY …and this is IMHHO…SO MUCH BETTER,than reading a book 📖🤗💚💚💚

[@markr.devereux3385]

How ironic one of jays collectible cars almost did him in ! great great interview i wasnt expecting.

[@susanpeck530]

Great get. Amazing. Will be a watch again

[@kendigjl]

The avuncularity will be off the charts with this episode. I'm super okay with that.

[@chaselepard]

Had to Google it, but now I agree.

[@dg4vdo]

Of course it will, excuse me one second....(looks up avuncularity, returns) , as I was saying....

[@stevemchale9775]

Jay and Seinfeld were great on Letterman in the beginning. That's where I first seen them. Numerous times.

[@ortizsantana4141]

Such a great show!

[@julieweller6191]

No Goodyear in your own bath. Unless it's a stroke.

[@SlackKeyPaddy]

Papa is 'proud' of his Country, the uSA. Now that is really funny; LMAO

[@dwebb1935]

That McD’s and Barney’s story is fantastic!

[@RJ-jm7lv]

Nice to hear about nuts and berries.

[@jimfacinelli2585]

That was just the best interview. I met jay briefly at some car shows and its hard to talk to him at those events. Your show exposed what he is really like, JUST HIMSELF! Thank you for that. It was just a great personal interview. Thank you again.

[@jwd888]

going to enjoy this i feel. 👍

[@rosannahutson9757]

Do you share your bread recipe? Please share 🎉

[@stevemyers2092]

thick felt pad with silicon rubber under it with the mic stand on top of the felt would go a long way in stopping the noise.

[@jensejense]

Happy fourth to you and your family, Tom. And to all you commenters on here too!

Tom makes me anxious with his terrible questions.

This was so enjoyable. Jay is Jenuine.

[@Edvdh]

Love it Nederland city of Groningen 🎉🎉🎉

[@goldschool9050]

Is Tom paying attention?

[@shamsam4]

What a lovely intro.

[@Edvdh]

I look a lot of videos of Jay but I didn't know it was dead bad Thank you to ask a little bit deeper 😲😲✌️✌️l🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@mattn6591]

You should fix the audio. Your voice was just a little too loud compared to Jay's.

[@chrisfreeman9960]

You ask us to buy your book...and.then just simply give it a good review, whether or not we like it. Why not just give it your best shot, and put it out there, and let people decide on their own? Give it a good review, even though your readers...(or maybe some of them?) "don't understand it"? Do you have a low estimation of (at least some of) your reader's intelligence, or were you just adding a little humor to your promoting your book? No, I don't mean to make out that your plug for your book is anything terrible. It's just that it's always bothered me how people, on their websites, automatically tell their readers to "like and subscribe" to their sites, without giving the reader the space on their own, to make their own decision, based on the quality of the site. It always bothered me, but I realize it's a common practice, to tell readers how they should respond to a website, And, as I said, the way you did it wasn't anything terrible. But when you tell people to automatically give your site a positive review, whether they like it...or even understand it...I had to respond to it.

[@vass169]

well done

[@richb313]

Nothing keeps Jay down.

[@joshowenby6408]

Jack Burns replaced Don Knotts after he left The Andy Griffith Show. The character's name was Warren Ferguson. He was only on for 11 episodes & then he was phased out due to the character not catching on.

[@seraph6758]

Neat!

[@forthepeople1664]

Good advice, stay visible even when rich, makes sense, why lose touch with humanity due to whatever fears. Holy cow that was considered a stupid joke? I loved the 47 year old woman one, made my day!

[@scott9688]

I never really liked Jay when he had the Tonight show...But when got out from the under the rules of TV I'm one his biggest fans...And jokes about the Lbtw/123kns (the G's I know want no part) community have got to come back...It's a treasure trove of hilarious material...Chappelle has barely scratched the surface...

[@erikwilson9498]

He’s honest and clearly not a republican

[@TimotheeLee]

Now that is a Hollywood wig at it's shaggiest.

[@bigtonythepetwasp440]

Hyperbolic chamber? That's a hyperbaric thing to say.

[@leonardstilwell1894]

I would think a man who's afraid to put out a special for fear of cashing in his jokes may put similar consideration into the dispensation of his anecdotes. I've heard these stories in about every other podcast he's done. Thankfully he's a good storyteller!

[@Mozart1220]

The ONE thing I can do (sort of) is sound production. The mikes should be insulated from the table, and if they were wearing cans they'd hear Jay tapping the table making that annoying sound. SOMEONE should be monitoring what's actually being recorded. Gobel was wearing brown shoes as a JOKE because one of his best lines was "Did you ever feel like it was a black tuxedo world and you are a pair of brown shoes?".

[@richardmiller1289]

I never used to like Jay Leno I thought after Johnny retired he dumbed down The Tonight show which I didn't dig, now that he's an old man I can appreciate him more.

[@BenSkyLakewood]

I guess it's time to ask, who's more likely to die in a work accident Jay Leno or Tom Cruise, both in 60s and 70s.

[@rhp52]

Please invest in some shockmounts

[@Sonic83165]

Hyperbolic Chamber..... makes sense for two comedians. LOL..... Such an appropriate Freudian Slip

[@TomTomLo1]

hmmm... needs to be in the same studio or is it really a podcast? i feel like im listening into a phone conversation. respect the format Jay...

[@gregorycochrane725]

they're in the same shot at 11:20...

[@TomTomLo1]

@@gregorycochrane725 HAHAH Jeeez!! you are right! wow! how did i get it so wrong?! it felt so estranged to start i guess! The producers need to rethink their shots maybe? it feels and sounds like they are in 2 different studios.

[@myztik5716]

Leno is out of focus and they didn't fix the shot. It looks like they racked the focus based on Jay leaning back in the chair but he ended up doing most of the podcast leaning forward

[@jc2333]

I like video podcasts . What if you’re on the low carb diet is it still breaking bread.?

[@aristotle736]

If you're on Keto bread,then YES !!

[@Heraclitean]

I like Jay, how could you not, but the fact his show ran so long is not evidence it was particularly good. He was bland, safe, comfortable, familiar, and there was an audience for that in that era. There are plenty of formulas by which mediocre things can sustain popularity. Look at McDonald's, Tyler Perry movies, the New York Knicks, etc.

[@jimmuzzi1072]

His stand up was and is much funnier than what they allowed him to do on The Tonight Show.

[@Heraclitean]

@@jimmuzzi1072 Letterman, Conan, Ferguson, Kilborn worked under the same network TV limitations and were funnier. Poor excuse. It's in Leno's DNA. Great guy. Interesting and knowledgeable guy. Middling comedian.

[@jimmuzzi1072]

​@@Heracliteanpoor argument. Leno took over an iconic MAINSTREAM show. KILBORN? Ugh. You're right about Ferguson,though. He was brilliant.

[@Heraclitean]

@@jimmuzzi1072 Carson was funnier than Leno. So was Letterman on CBS who was in the identical time slot. I don't know why you're bending over backwards to defend Leno's bland talk show. But I also don't really care. Enjoy the day.

[@stevenmcwilliam6945]

Agreed. I liked his standup ( not as a host) but after Carson , I couldn’t watch Leno. Letterman was so different from Carson I would watch him after Johnny left.

[@PrettyGoodLookin]

Glad you're ok Jay. Sorry that happened to you.
