By Tim Conway Jr. on Demand

January 2, 2026

The New Year fun continues with an unforgettable run of stories from Jay Leno. Jay recounts the terrifying moment he was caught in a car fire, sharing firsthand what went wrong and how it all unfolded. He then rewinds to his early days in Los Angeles, talking about arriving in town, scraping by, and the very first car that helped him get around Hollywood.Things get even more personal when Jay admits to accidentally losing Barack Obama’s phone number after trying a little too hard to play it cool. And in true Leno fashion, the segment wraps with a perfectly absurd story about getting unintentionally swept into a parade… all while just trying to grab a slice of pizza.Car fires, Hollywood beginnings, presidential mishaps, and parade chaos—this Best Of is a masterclass in legendary storytelling. 🥂🎧
