JAY LENO: COMIC RELIEF FOR TOUGH TIMES

| Jay Leno: Had dealers rolling in the aisles |
February 9, 2008—Late-night talk show host, comedian, and car enthusiast Jay Leno helped close Saturday’s general session at the NADA convention with about an hour of nonstop, stand-up comedy. Leno poked fun at everyone from the rich and famous to dogs and cats, and had dealers roaring with laughter. He asked several people in the audience what types of cars they drive before revealing one of his own: a 1955 Buick Roadmaster. That was “when they built cars out of steel,” he said. “There’s no padded dash…” “the radio knobs look like Bowie knives…” and “it seats seven for dinner.”
Leno ended the show by saying that the auto industry is in an “exciting time,” especially with the advancement in alternative fuels and lots of new product coming down the line. “This is my hobby,” he said. “I love what you guys do.”
