Andovers Jay Leno Is FUNNY On Air and Off

BREAKING: Comic Jay Leno rushed to the hospital today, after an accident in his garage. Andovers Jay Leno Is FUNNY on air and off. So to read this story is heartbreaking.

TMZ reports:

I've had the joy to see Jay Leno up close at an intimate, 100 person private event several years ago. It was during the Tonight Show days, when Jay was the host. I attended a radio station event in Los Angeles. Our surprise guest was an HOUR of non stop comedy from Jay Leno himself. He has us rolling on the floor for an hour. He was hysterical, especially when he took questions from the audience. During his one hour plus show, he didn't curse, or swear ONCE. His entire hour was clean. It was stunning to watch.

Back in the 1980's I had the privilege to interview Jay Leno on a radio station, here in Boston. I did my share of standup comedy in the 1980's, so Jay to me, is a hero. Leno, in person is a little more quiet than his on television persona. While we were off the air, I asked him about some his early jokes. He remembered every one of them, clearly, and shared tips on how he set's up and delivers his material.  Once the on air light is ON, the familiar TV version of Jay, shows up, and entertains every second he's on.

Andovers Jay Leno Is FUNNY on air and off. I wish him well during this tough time.

Massachusetts' Chris Evans is 2022's Sexiest Man Alive, according to People magazine.

But the question is, how many have received the honor?

The truth is, it's not a lot. But it's not too shabby.

I mean, Johnny Depp made the list TWICE.

That dude is a dumpster fire with guitar pick and an inflated sense of self.

(Side note: Depp is touring with master guitar icon Jeff Beck. It's a crime against humanity. This is a classic example of people employed by rich people who ACTIVELY lie to them.)

Anyway, back to the questionable list.

The OG sexiest man alive, Mel Gibson, turned out to be a whackadoo anti-semite who called a female cop "sugar t*ts" while he was being pulled over for drunk driving. Oh, he also threatened the mother of his child.

So that ended badly.

Brad Pitt won TWICE. Also a bit of a hot mess these days. But, let's be honest. He's still good looking.

My favorites? Idris Elba and Hugh Jackman. Idris because he's is unquestionably GOOD LOOKING and Jackman because he's Wolverine, a song-and-dance man AND married to an older woman.

Chris told "People":

"My mom will be so happy.  She's proud of everything I do but this is something she can really brag about." He added, quote, "This whole thing is tough to be interviewed about.  It feels like a weird form of humble bragging.  Really this will just be a point of bullying [from friends].  It's ripe for harassment."

But at least he'll always have this, even when he's not so sexy anymore.

"It's something that as I become old and saggy I can look back on and say 'I remember then.'  I'm lucky to be in the discussion in any capacity."

2002 saw Affleck hit the highs and lows. He made "Gigli" which was laughable. But he met Jennifer Lopez. And was crowned Sexiest Man Alive!

Two years later, he called off their engagement. But almost 20 year later, they are happily married! And he's still pretty sexy.

2007 was a good year for Matt, earning the honor the year he made "Oceans 11" and "The Bourne Ultimatum" and coming off of 2006 hits "The Good Shephard" and "The Departed".

Here he is with the Sexiest Man Alive circa 2016:

Yeah, I know he's from Syracuse, NY, but he went to UMASS Amherst on a gymnastics scholarship and studied philosophy, so that counts for something.
