The Night Jay Leno Called Obama

Hour 1 (8.13) Jay Leno stops by the Conway Show for one of the best hours we've had all year — and he holds nothing back. Jay walks Tim through the fire accident in his garage: how it happened, what he remembers, and the recovery that followed. It's the story people have asked about for years, told first-hand. He rewinds all the way to the beginning — arriving in Los Angeles with nothing, chasing stage time, and the version of this city that doesn't exist anymore. Then it's pure Tonight Show. Jay on what it was actually like behind that desk during the biggest years in late night, the monologue grind, the guests — and the night he picked up the phone and called President Obama. Classic Conway: relevant, irreverent, and one of the great interviews in the archive. This is the Best of Conway. 🎙️ The Tim Conway Jr. Show — weeknights 6–10PM on KFI AM 640 and everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Jay Leno, Jay Leno garage fire, Jay Leno interview, Jay Leno burns, Jay Leno Tonight Show, late night TV, Jay Leno's Garage, Barack Obama, Obama phone call, Tim Conway Jr, Conway Show, KFI AM 640, best of Conway, Los Angeles comedy, comedy legends, stand-up comedy, Hollywood stories, celebrity interview, LA radio, talk radio, iHeartRadioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
