Jay Leno's late night television ratings domination including two decades as the host of the #1 rated "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" -after the first two years Jay Leno never lost a single ratings year in which he served as host. 

Leno currently produces hosts the CNBC primetime series JAY LENO'S GARAGE, which explores the world of cars, never forgetting that it's the people behind the wheel who provide the real stories. Jay Leno is also currently hosting "YOU BET YOUR LIFE" and completed the second season returning in syndication in Fall 2022.

When he's not on TV, Leno performs more than 100 stand-up shows annually across the country and intentionally, participates in numerous charity and corporate events, does voice-overs for animated series, pens children's books, and writes a monthly column in various automotive magazines.
