Bonus Appraisals: Jay Leno | Celebrity Edition, Hour 1 Bonus Footage | ANTIQUES ROADSHOW | PBS 

Jay is absolutely genuine.

This doesn’t suprise me. He’s a class act

When I was a kid in elementary school (Burbank, CA) he would come to the school and do a show with kids. I was in the library because I had a broken arm in a cast and he said hi and was very nice. Still remember it. Great guy!

He has beef with buying couches

The house sat on the market for a long time. Jay got a $2 million discount on the purchase. The owner gave him the furniture.

You know he's got a mental list about what car he could get in exchange for everything in that house

@@jblyon2 lol

Hopefully it was at least clean underwear.

He was showing his sartorial splendor

Alright, Mr. Moneybags

I think it's great. He earned every single dollar he paid for that place. You're sounding mighty jealous, NA. Not a good look.

That spot is taken 😉

$13.5 million.

@@JonnyRicter to me that sounds like a steal of a deal.

@@hwh888 I thought the exact same thing. I was expecting that house to cost a lot more.

More like 71-year-old , semi-retired, IDGAF Jay

She did not seem to be irritated, she enjoyed the show instead. People see things how they are not as it is. Smile, life is short.....

I mean, not everyone has _"that kind of money"_ to burn

If he’s got “money to burn” ,he’s got a really nice stove to burn it on….open 🔥

How is this burning money? He bought a beautiful home furnished with high quality appliances and valuable antiques. Burning money would suggest that he's doing something wasteful, no?

The perks of having more dollars than sense

He took a tour of the house before he bought it, liked what he saw, so he bought it. He explained that he really didn't care what the value of the stuff was, as long as you buy what you like, you won't be disappointed no matter what the value turns out to be.

@@RonGee Ron, Please don't wonder onto any used car lots! LOL

@@carls.1000 I didn't say that was my philosophy! That's the way Jay approaches things, especially things he likes. He's got almost 200 cars in 3 private hangers, and some have turned out to be better investments than others. But he says he doesn't buy them for the investment value, he buys them if he likes them. That's the way a lot of collectors are. It's not uncommon for some work of art to fetch millions of dollars over the appraised value at an auction because two or more people really like it and don't mind spending more than what most people think it's worth. That $13.5 million Jay paid for the mansion seemed like a steal compared to much smaller and more expensive properties in Southern California. In a Forbes article, he said he bought the house with the contents because he said he didn't want to have to spend the time furnishing an empty house. And it wasn't just the contents of the house he was considering. The location was especially important, because it was right on the water and large enough for gatherings of his relatives, who lived nearby.

Exactly.. (I read that article too. )
