About this episode

This is our full interview with comedian and former Tonight Show host Jay Leno. We discuss what he learned from Johnny Carson, why he thinks late-night television is dying, how politics changed comedy, why he refuses to retire from stand-up, his advice for people afraid of AI, and what it takes to stay funny after decades in show business.
