About Jay Leno
Stand-up came first for Jay Leno, and it never went away. He grew up in Andover, Massachusetts, studied at Emerson College in Boston, and started a comedy club there in 1973. He was working as a stand-up by 1976 and made his first Tonight Show appearance in 1977.
In 1992 he took over The Tonight Show from Johnny Carson. He hosted it until 2014, with a break in 2009 and 2010 when he moved to the prime time Jay Leno Show. The Tonight Show with Jay Leno won the Emmy for outstanding variety series in 1995. His Headlines segment, built on odd items from real newspapers, became a series of books starting in 1989.
Cars are his other public passion. He hosted Jay Leno's Garage, which began as a CNBC special in 2014 and became a series, has written about cars for Popular Mechanics, and keeps a large collection of cars and motorcycles. He also hosted the revival of the game show You Bet Your Life from 2021 to 2023.
Honors include a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (2000) and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor (2014).
