ABOUT JAY LENO'S GARAGE ON CNBC
Hosted by legendary comedian and “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno, the series explores our obsession with all things automotive. From classic cars to supercars and everything in-between, Jay is hitting the road to discover the most exciting, weird and wonderful vehicles ever made and meet the passionate people behind their wheels. Each one-hour themed episode features a mix of stunts, challenges, reviews, and celebrity interviews that showcases the colorful history of the automobile. Whether he’s exploring the story of an iconic brand, road-testing the newest super car, or investigating the latest automotive innovations, there is no wheel Jay won’t get behind to tell the story of our love affair with the car.
About Jay Leno: Acclaimed TV late night show host, admired stand-up comedian, best-selling children’s book author, much-in-demand corporate speaker, lovable TV and movie voice-over artist, pioneering car builder and mechanic, and philanthropist…it’s no wonder that Jay Leno is widely characterized as “the hardest working man in show business.”

My favorite Jay Leno quote of all time is: "We find an old car in a barn or on the desert, buy it for $5,000, put $100,000 in it, and - hey buddy, you got yourself a $40,000 car."

Jay is performing a huge public service in providing these segments for the education of people of all ages that would otherwise not have a clue about what drove the world forward. At the age of 75 and with a Stationary Engineer background, I actually spent a couple of years standing watch/maintaining/running over an engine similar to the large one that was used from time to time to transfer filtered and treated water to a cooling reservoir for a huge factory. One end of rod had the steam cabinet driving piston, the other end had a massive pump cylinder. That engine was eventually replaced with a diesel pump and that's when I got the heck out of that particular engine room for good! The noise was terrible whereas before the diesel, the cycling of the steam engine would almost be as comforting as your own heartbeat while in repose. Kudos Jay for your efforts to educate with real entertainment entwined.

When companies care more about cheapness and efficiency over their workers, then the workers loose their jobs. My grandmother worked at ford electronics from 1970 to 1998 upon her retirement. She started out hand soldering circuit boards and nearly 300 people worked at the plant. By the time she retired, a machine was doing her job and her new job was to watch the machine for any issues and quality check the circuit boards on occasion. Basically she just read books all day. By that point the factory employed less then 50 people (most of then being Corprate or maintenance workers). Machines took over most of the jobs and created very little. Eventually ford shut the plant down and moved the operations to Mexico. Now it’s just an empty building in the middle of town.

I can only echo the comments below. Jay Leno literally stands alone as the curator of unique machines in modern history. His command of historical detail of the people who created the marvelous machines is astonishing. Jay himself is a national treasure.

Jay modifies cars the right way: to make them more drivable without ruining the character of the car. I always love his restomods.

@alan6832 3 года назад

Plus his reversible, bolt in and bolt out mods allow him to save the original parts without risk or wear in storage while he enjoys the car at some risk and wear to the modern parts. Many mods can be bolted back out, but the owners sell or trash the original parts. He should fix that transmission though and have it ready to bolt back in when the time comes.

But what I love most about Mr. Leno is after years of watching his shows...I still don't know his political leaning. Just that he loves his hobby and loves to share. Thank you, sir.

Jay, I just about fell out of my chair when you said you had a Dodge Polara. The first car my dad ever bought was a 1966 Dodge Polara 500 convertible. Drove it off the sales lot and promptly ran out of gas. It had air conditioning and at the time I think it was one of the first convertibles you could get with A/C. It had a 383 in it and ran on leaded gas. Well it sat in the garage for awhile then he parked it in a friends field along with the horses. Never, ever saw another one until I was driving home one day (after having lunch with my dad) in a parking lot being sold. Drove straight over, jumped out and told the guy my dad had one just like it. He said "Here is the title for the car" turns out it WAS the old Dodge. They used to have a speaker in the middle of the back seat where my tiny butt used to sit. I miss that car to this day.🤗

This is Brian Kim Keenan. This array of steam engines is exactly how it looked in my Chicago Public School (Raster elementary) basement. The 3 story brick school from around 1900, had a 5 story tall brick chimney stack. It was coal fired to provide heat to the school. The steam engine array was used to pump and control ventilation and operate coal loading and water distribution. Aa a young child bringing lunch to this area for the workers, it was amazing and frightening at the same time. I felt honorored to have experienced this place in the early 1960s. Thanks Jay.

He doesn't "resto-mod" they are quality of life improvements because he really does drive everything he owns. Really liked the steam engines too - crazy to think that they still run and work so many years later. But you got me with the 426 Max Wedge car. Livin' the dream. I hope to keep seeing more videos from Jay for a long long time.

@inediblenut 3 года назад

As I see it, with an old car you can do one of three things. The most common is to scrap it, because it reaches a point where repairs are more costly than the current value. Unfortunately, many people fail to recognize that value may increase over time. Second, you can drive it until it dies, then look at it like some ancient relic, because it can't be fixed. Third, you can restore it with parts that are available, augmented with newer, better ones. This allows the vehicle to be enjoyed and ensures that it becomes more than a museum curiosity. Americans love this mix of tradition and innovation, and people like Jay, who have the resources and desire to curate these treasures, have saved many interesting examples. I wonder if Jay ever considered opening an automotive museum to the public? He would have one of the best collections in the world, I would think.
