Jay Leno on Comedy, Cars and Caregiving
“You have to love the person you're taking care of. If it's a stranger, then it's a job, but if it's your partner, that's my whole life.” —Jay Leno
Jay Leno—one of America’s most enduring comedians—welcomed Maria into his legendary classic car garage for a brand-new Life Above the Noise conversation that goes far beyond punchlines and horsepower.
Diving into all things comedy, cars and especially caregiving, Maria and Jay explore the wisdom he’s gained from the many roles that have shaped his life—comedian, television host, collector, and most importantly, as a devoted husband and caregiver for his wife Mavis, who is living with advanced dementia.
Jay tells us what he and his wife’s lives have been like since her diagnosis, how he has taken on the role as her primary caregiver, why he believes Americans have more in common than we think, what comedy still gives him today, and so much more.
Plus—tune into Jay’s bonus walk-and-talk conversation with Maria, where you’ll get an inside look into his extraordinary car and motorcycle collection:
