Jay Leno Comedian

Acclaimed TV late night show host, admired stand-up comedian, best-selling children’s book author, TV and movie actor, voice-over artist, automotive enthusiast/expert, and philanthropist Jay Leno is widely characterized as “the hardest working man in show business.”

Leno’s iconic talk show dominated ratings for the two decades he served as host of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” - taking the No. 1 spot, and never losing a single ratings year during his tenure as host.

Leno currently produces and hosts the CNBC primetime series “Jay Leno’s Garage”, now in its seventh season. The show explores the world of cars, but it’s the people behind the wheel who provide the real stories.

When he’s not on TV, Leno performs more than 100 stand-up shows every year, along with participating in many charitable events. In his “spare” time (as if he has any), he enjoys working on his collection of classic cars and motorcycles.  In fact, he has built a number of cars by hand, including an acclaimed eco-car in his eco-friendly green garage.

Leno is the recipient of innumerable honors and awards, including Emmys, People’s Choice, and TV Guide awards, along with the Hasty Pudding Award at Harvard University, The Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, as well as the Patriot Award, which is given by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. Leno also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and was the first person ever to drive the pace car of all major NASCAR events.

He and his wife Mavis, an ardent human rights activist, live in Los Angeles.
