    I'm thinking about going to see a Jay Leno show in Hollywood FL around New years. Has anyone seen one of his shows? Any good?, I'm looking for some reviews..

    If I go, I'll def ask him why he doesn't have any F-cars

    Thanks!!!

    Go to the Comedy and Magic club in Hermosa on a Sunday. He's there all the time practicing his stuff for the week.

    i haven't seen one of his shows per se, but i have seen him as an emcee at an event before. pretty funny, but i think he toned it down a bit for the event, and getting to meet him after the dinner was harder than meeting the president imo, :)

    I saw him years ago when he was just a guest host for Carson. His stand-up was really funny. Much better than the just-written-today jokes of his monologues. He had great ad-lib ability. He went through the audience at one point just asking questions and making jokes, and they were good.

    I agree--I always thought he's a much better comedian than TV host. I saw the Leno show twice a long time ago when he was filming in Chicago, and the best part was his pre-show warmup to the crowd.

    I've seen him in the crowd at Pebble Beach a few times and literally bumped into him at Concorso last year. He seems like your basic car guy (denim shirt and jeans).

    He just happens to have more disposable income than most. :D

    Have seen and met him at a car event. He was very approachable. No security and he didn't mind chatting with anyone. Nice guy. I just don't know how he doesn't get sick of people wanting to meet him and make the same comments and pose for pictures and promote some dumb charity or the other. Never seen anyone so patient and gracious.

    Cool, thanks for the info guys. I guess we will get some tickets to go see him while in FL.
    If I meet him I'll be sure to ask the F-chat #1 question of him"Why dont you have any Ferrari's" :)

    Nope haven't seen him live.


    It's nice to know that he's pretty down-to-earth though.

    Yep, I've seen him there before. He puts on a good show. I don't really care much for his TV show but his stand-up was pretty entertaining.

    My wife and I saw him live a few years ago at the annual Silicon Valley Black & White Ball... he is very funny but clean which these days you can't find anymore. Worth the cost of admission for sure.

    I've seen him at the comedy and magic store, and from the audience about 8 times now. Not to mention VCR on Sundays. He does a pretty good show (stand up)
