These were great times for me. I was middle age, lots of money, energy and living good. Now I'm old and dying. To bad that we grow old and die. Thank you Jay and Kevin for all the good times and memories ❤
One of the best comedians in the world, keeping it clean, but really funny. Love you Jay Leno. You are the best miss you from the Tonight Show and thousands of millions of people do too !!!!!
It is so sad to see how beautiful the past was and that this time will never come back. The magic of that time has completely disappeared today. Thank you Jay for letting us share these great years with you.
The good ole days. I can hardly believe I'm looking back at 2000 as good ole days. 23 years just flew. This was pre 9/11 . The world really was way more chill.
Well, as they said, "the world will never be the same", and it hasn't been. That was the beginning of all this tyranny against the US citizens. After 911, the next major crisis was the plandemic. And there will be another one so they can further shape the world they want - complete control, track, stack and pack, get us eating insects, and transhumanism. Not to mention, slowly killing us off. Things will only get worse as we march toward 2030 which is their goal to have a lot of their draconian measures implemented.
I've been waiting him for over 12 yrs I'm from Somerville mas my pals aot older than me ..I'm blessed. ...jay is really Massachusett "" Pisssa"" haha hell get thar love ya jay
I used to watch this segment religiously, and as of today in 2023.. I can say it was definitely ahead of it's time and we didn't even kno it with social media and everything, hell.. I probably misspelled a few words jus now (but don't blame me, blame my autocorrect) 😂
I loved watching Jay's headlines every Monday, never missed it. Even when Kevin would say a quick witted joke about a headline and it took Jay off guard. Their banter was second to none.
2000, what a great year. My Grandfather and I would watch Leno every night, religiously. He has since passed away. It was also my senior year of high school, and the same year that I met my first love. Seeing stuff like this brings a nostalgic warmth to my heart, and reminds me of a time when I was truly happy.
Are we sad posting my friend? Let it begin. I used to watch these on an old worn down couch in my grandparents living room. So cozy! My grandpa was still alive, my mom was so young and healthy, and my sisters were toddlers and not drug addicts. They were happy back then. I would give up being this tough, bearded, middle aged man and go back to being scrawny nerdy me to have those days back. Simpler times.
man i used to lay beside my grandma's bed in the floor on some blankets and would watch this show with her she would fall asleep 20 mins in but leave the TV on for me.. good times
I've been cleaning out recently and found a box of old VHS tapes. Those were the days. Remember the occasional stuck reel and you had to pry the cartridge out? LoL Good old days! Pretty sure I have a VCR machine somewhere about too.
That's crazy. Nobody watched, or even had a TV in their room, when I was in college from '88-'92. One guy on a baseball scholarship did have a small black and white that he used to watch baseball by himself and chewed sunflower seeds.
@@rayzor9035 In 1987, I was the only gal that had a tv (small black-and-white tv) on our dorm floor: Many girls would gather, and filled-up my 2 twin-bed size room, to watch the afternoon soap opera, "Days of our Lives" ⏳️. ☺️🙃😄 A larger dinosaur-size tv was located in the basement; that's where we'd all meet, to watch the 10p.m. local news, as our parents did. 😅
I loved Jay Leno and miss seeing him nightly on TV. Clean humor and his love for his wife. His first show after 911 was so respectful and sensitive to how the country was feeling. I was happy to find Headlines on UA-cam. So funny!
The country was feeling delicate and sensitive and the Bush administration took full advantage of that. 25 years later; they dug ourselves into a hole on the world stage, Russia and China followed our example as a leader of the world by unilaterally invading any sovereign nation they wanted.
People can be mean. I world love to say tytytyty to the creator of this compilation 💜 💖 💓 💕 💗 ♥️ 💜 💖 💓 💕 💗 ♥️ I will be watching this over and over for years to come
Life was normal! I think the year 2000 was my generation's end of "normal". The next year was 9/11 and all the ridiculousness that ensued since then. Maybe I'm just old now but the rate of change in our culture has seemed to speed up since 2000. Of course an earlier generation wished to return to a time "back before Elvis, before that Vietnam War came along. ". At a certain point in life it just seems to get ridiculous. Around 2000 was kind of a sweet spot though.
I remember watching this back in 2000 with my grandmother. 20 years later and it's still funny and just as good as it was in 2000. Jay leno was always the best tonight show host.
I remember sneaking out to the living room when I was little to watch these when I was really young. After awhile my parents just let me stay up to watch them and once they were over, it was off to bed.
Same with me and Letterman, lol. I just really needed to be allowed to stay up for the Top 10. Dad would usually send me to bed after that, because it was just usually celeb interviews after that anyway and I didn't care about those as a 10-year-old LOL
Same, my parents let me watch though by this point but I remember sneaking on the TV in my bedroom in the mid-90s. I was 14-15 when these aired in 2000, but I always loved Headlines. Only part of his show I thought was funny. I was a much bigger fan of Letterman, especially as an adult.
Indeed! I can’t believe how many of these I watched once I re-discovered them! I worked for a newspaper for a number of years, laying out the ads first, then later I became a reporter/ writer. So, this kind of thing is right up my alley! 😂
@@dennislopez8661 then why are you watching? Some people just have the sense of humor of an old potato. It's not their fault. Kinda sad actually. Don't take life so seriously. It's unhealthy.
I used to always go to the living room at 11:30 to watch Leno with my grandmother. She would always switch to QVC at midnight to see "Today's Special Value". I love watching this. Reminds me of her.
forcingfate I just commented the same thing. I’d love Monday nights and I’d always remind my grandma that it was time for headlines and we’d sit on the couch and I’d end up laying with my head in her lap and fall asleep. Man I miss her, wish I had a time machine.
Iam so,so sorry about the passing of your grandma!!! 😭😭😭😭,Iam glad you have those memories forcingfate!!!! My grandma passed away 3 years ago from cancer,I miss her so,so,so,so much!!!!
I was 3 years old in 2000 wow. Takes me back . I miss watching these with my mother back around 2003-2005. Good times when life was simple. Sure it had bad things going on back then but the good things were a lot better than now though. Tv was a lot better, family was around more, only had to go to school no work and just the overall feel of life you could never feel in 2018. Guarantee it
Chris56076 you are what 21 years old? Believe me when you hit 35 you’ll be longing for the time you were in your early 20s so just enjoy them and stop romanticizing the past.
If you’re doing a tv show, this a gift from above. People from all over the country sending you free material, you just pick the best stuff. Hadn’t seen any of this, because I was more of a Letterman viewer, but this is probably Jay’s strong suit - taking relatable, genuine stuff and making it funnier. Similar to his ‘Jay Walking’ street interviews. Thanks very much for putting this together.
And i was wondering were did half of my life go? sleeping all day and watching JAY every night. The laugh of that BOLD black guitar player on the background is stucked on my brain.
lol me too. those were always my favorite segments with Jay, always made me lol, they were just the best. Most times Jay couldn't keep a straight face during them: Jay: "Uh-oh, it's the Boner-Holder wedding!" xD
After Carson retired, I was an avid watcher of Jay Leno. Until he retired from the show! Still a big fan in 2023! He's a good man, as well as funny! Like his Car Show, too. Watching it online.
You nailed it! I think that's why so many of us converted from Letterman to Leno in 1995. We tuned in on Hugh Grant night and saw Jay and Kevin doing Beyondo and having the best time. None of the angsty irony from Dave's world and it was a surprisingly better way to end a night. It really all turned around for Leno when Kevin moved into Branford's position.
Mike Stevenson Exactly. I'd been watching Jay from night one, it was obvious while Branford was a good, talented guy he wasn't going to be bandleader for long regardless of if Kev had taken over for him or not. Branford was just going in a different direction and he's done well for himself. When Kev took over, at first he was basically doing Branford's job to the letter. Then suddenly, and I can't remember how long after taking over it was, Jay decided one night to improv try some banter with him during the monologue. Bam, you could tell right away they had very good chemistry. Over a pretty short period of time after that, Jay added more and more monologue banter until he was a full regular part of that. Then he tried having Kev do some of the comedy bits/sketches with him and their chemistry got even stronger. Kev said in an interview several years back all of it just happened organically and that he didn't see any of it coming AT ALL. Also said it was the best time of his life, he loved every minute of it. Promoting Kev to bandleader when Branford left was the right call. Jay got his Ed McMahon...he got REALLY lucky, that night he decided to try the monologue banter paid off big time. Both Jay and Kev made the show what it was. Miss them both, I haven't watched late night or the Tonight Show since Jay left!
I haven’t laughed this hard in awhile. I miss him on the Tonight show. I used get off work at 10:30 pm, rush home to shower & get in bed so I could watch Jay. He was hilarious.
that Jay Leno bit was frcking hillarious! I was almost crying! Unfortunately, I live in the UK and so have mever had the chance to see his night-time stuff; cripplingly funny!
brokenbrain goth I'm super shocked no episodes were shown on UK TV! I figured they were shown regularly even if they'd been slapped on during overnights. It was great fun, headlines, the comedy skits all of it! Glad UA-cam has some of the Headlines segments for you to enjoy!
@@dennislopez8661 , logical fallacy: false dichotomy. A false dichotomy claims that only one of two things can be true when that isn't, in fact, the case. A single person can find Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno's headlines funny. I am such a person. Therefore, I disprove your claim. If you would rather say that you personally find Conan O'Brien funny but do not find Jay Leno or headlines to be funny, that would be true and logically sound.
You can tell from Dennis's comments that not only has he never watched Leno, but he didn't watch Conan when he hosted the Tonight show for the short time he was on. It wasn't the right fit for him, and he ended up having a very successful career despite losing the Tonight show gig. Dennis is just hating on Leno because the internet told him to and isn't capable of thinking for himself.
Me too! I used to tune in on this tiny black and white TV/weather radio thing I had in my room while I was supposed to be doing my homework. 😁 This video brings me back a fragment of a feeling of those relatively carefree years just before September 2001...
I was a fan of Johnny Carson for decades, but after he retired, I watched Jay Leno as host. Alot of his monologues, headlines, Jaywalking, and stuff from the 99 cent store were hilarious.
@@dennislopez8661 Jay Leno was a legend in his own time. I know some didn't find it funny but I loved him. And at 42 maybe I am ancient but we all get old.
Following the lead of rolf78, here's a shout out to the incomparable Kevin Eubanks who is just such cool guy and his banter with Jay and his infectious laugh add so much to Jay's headlines.
Sorry to be offtopic but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
You made me curious. This video has been 'watched' for 8,782,446 hours. If my math is right that's about 1002 years. From Feb. 10 - April 1 it was viewed for 975,624 hours. So 111 years-ish. That stretch is by far the biggest bump it's had. It's unreal something I taped 20 years ago with no idea that more than a couple of people might ever have even seen it, has eaten up a millennia. Now imagine what a really popular channel's analytics look like. I imagine Netflix has comsumed billions of years of people's time.
I don't know but would it be possible, what I mean to say is I think the zeitgeist of it was that it occurred when it did. I think if you try to do it now it unfortunately would render it forced and ineffectual. Almost like a spontaneous young love, it's beautiful because it happened in the moment and trying to recreate it again would only cheapen what it was he once gave us
Well, of course it would be possible. But would it be popular? Would it get ratings? I believe it would, based on this very video. Ten million views in five years and 24,000 likes. Would Jay want to do it? I don't know. The only way we would find out would be to e-mail NBC and tell them we want it, and then see what happens. I think it could be a funny show, and not dated, because newspapers, magazines and restaurant menus still have unfortunate typos.
My favorite headline of all time is one of those "we interviewed random people" ones and it was "How do you feel about the new prison?" And some guy says "I like the old prison I just got out last week."
Loved the crashed airplane piece. When I went for my first skydiving lesson, when I arrived at the airport the plane was upside down. It had just crashed. On second thought I decided not to go that day.
Personally loved the guy....hated it when he left. Seriously.....it really hasn't been the same.....even as a kid I could follow along and just laugh so hard
Love coming back to this as white noise to fall asleep to. This brings me back to when I was just getting out of high school and blowing off the next few years
I'm 15 minutes into this nearly four-hour video and I am laughing every time over and over what a refreshing and exciting video this is. Share it with everybody you know. This is real humor.
I suffer from anxiety disorders, but when I watch Jay Leno I laugh so much, it doesn't bother me 😂!! He's my medicine!!
Same here brother. Hope youre
you're doing well
me too!
I'm just cracking up watching. My stomach is sore from laughing. I forgot how funny these were.
Try cutting all sugar
@@odinata Yeah, I have.

These were better times. Yeahim 52 suck it.
I feel ya Brother, Stay Strong
It is so sad to see how beautiful the past was and that this time will never come back.
The magic of that time has completely disappeared today.
Thank you Jay for letting us share these great years with you.
Sadly the democrats are the reason those days are gone.
💯 and what is almost as sad..... half the population doesn't get it because they didn't live thru the "great years."
@@matthewstreeter2131 And they're the reason some headlines couldn't be shown anytime during the past decade had he not retired.
You've never ordered at the back door of a restaurant because you were legally unable to go inside. Those were the good old days.
I think the present is appreciative of what was without needing to go backwards. And we have these videos.
The good ole days. I can hardly believe I'm looking back at 2000 as good ole days.

These never get old! They're timeless, too. As long as there is media, there will be Headlines worthy content.

Lmao yeah no… he’s not funny at all…
@@dennislopez8661 found the liberal
@@chubbsbully7198 Sounds like he's going thru gender transition.
@@hmdoc16 that makes zero zense
As a person who was born in March of 2000, watching this video is so strange but also hilarious for me
Still good and really funny in 2024
Am I the only person who grew up with Jay and still thinks these jokes are funny today.
@@cassielaberee5068 yes
i still do
I haven’t laughed this hard in awhile. I miss him on the Tonight show. I used get off work at 10:30 pm, rush home to shower & get in bed so I could watch Jay. He was hilarious.
The good days ❤
that Jay Leno bit was frcking hillarious! I was almost crying! Unfortunately, I live in the UK and so have mever had the chance to see his night-time stuff; cripplingly funny!
brokenbrain goth I'm super shocked no episodes were shown on UK TV! I figured they were shown regularly even if they'd been slapped on during overnights. It was great fun, headlines, the comedy skits all of it! Glad UA-cam has some of the Headlines segments for you to enjoy!
Jay's commentary and kevin laughing in the background make the headlines way funnier.
No, they don’t. Conan all the way
@@dennislopez8661 you must have a crush on Conan.
You most have a crush on Leno 😆
@@dennislopez8661 , logical fallacy: false dichotomy.
A false dichotomy claims that only one of two things can be true when that isn't, in fact, the case.
A single person can find Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno's headlines funny.
I am such a person. Therefore, I disprove your claim.
If you would rather say that you personally find Conan O'Brien funny but do not find Jay Leno or headlines to be funny, that would be true and logically sound.
You can tell from Dennis's comments that not only has he never watched Leno, but he didn't watch Conan when he hosted the Tonight show for the short time he was on. It wasn't the right fit for him, and he ended up having a very successful career despite losing the Tonight show gig.
Dennis is just hating on Leno because the internet told him to and isn't capable of thinking for himself.
Great news! Ross is finally going to MARS! 🙌
I love the way Jay flips away all the cards down to the floor when he’s done reading them! And I watch the reruns 😅
This segment was the only reason I watched this show in my teen years.
Mondays, right?
Me too! I used to tune in on this tiny black and white TV/weather radio thing I had in my room while I was supposed to be doing my homework. 😁 This video brings me back a fragment of a feeling of those relatively carefree years just before September 2001...
Cb Walker sends his regards and a pair of pilgrim shoes.
This brings back a lot of memories. I only watch Jay Leno for Headlines.
Hilarious! When I need a good laugh I'll watch Headlines by Jay Leno.
Watch Conan, you’ll laugh at REAL comedy
So fun! I sent in the K2Y clip used at the 9:50 mark! We waited weeks to see that one appear!!
that's awesome you got your clip aired! mine never were lol
Cool
I was a fan of Johnny Carson for decades, but after he retired, I watched Jay Leno as host. Alot of his monologues, headlines, Jaywalking, and stuff from the 99 cent store were hilarious.
Wow u must be ancient. Jay was not funny at all and what he did to Conan was unforgivable.
@@dennislopez8661 Jay Leno was a legend in his own time. I know some didn't find it funny but I loved him. And at 42 maybe I am ancient but we all get old.
Pluto tv app is free and has an entire channel of just Johnny
@@dennislopez8661 Conan sucked
Love Jay. Saw him 3 times. He still puts on a good show! 👏👏👏👏
Following the lead of rolf78, here's a shout out to the incomparable Kevin Eubanks who is just such cool guy and his banter with Jay and his infectious laugh add so much to Jay's headlines.
How I loved jay Leno! I was overjoyed to find this and the 99 cent show,we need him back he was the best!
Sorry to be offtopic but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
I have invested 12 hours of my life watching this damn video THREE TIMES!!! Thanks COVID.
You made me curious. This video has been 'watched' for 8,782,446 hours. If my math is right that's about 1002 years. From Feb. 10 - April 1 it was viewed for 975,624 hours. So 111 years-ish. That stretch is by far the biggest bump it's had. It's unreal something I taped 20 years ago with no idea that more than a couple of people might ever have even seen it, has eaten up a millennia. Now imagine what a really popular channel's analytics look like. I imagine Netflix has comsumed billions of years of people's time.
@@RoundingThird Holy HELL!!! THAT is a LOT of Leno!
Just think if we didn’t have UA-cam during Covid!?!? 😹😹😹
I miss Jay, always liked Monday nights when Jay did Headlines. I am sure if someone else did these now again I would watch it!
It wouldn't be the same...
I loved watching these on tv
Loved watching these. Back when we still had newspapers. Watching June 2022!
If I were in charge at NBC, I'd pay big money for Jay to come back and do a Jay Leno's Headlines series for one hour every Monday night.
I don't know but would it be possible, what I mean to say is I think the zeitgeist of it was that it occurred when it did. I think if you try to do it now it unfortunately would render it forced and ineffectual. Almost like a spontaneous young love, it's beautiful because it happened in the moment and trying to recreate it again would only cheapen what it was he once gave us
Jesus Christ i didn’t expect emotionally traumatized by the comment section here
Everyone has to retire eventually. Wish our presidents would get that memo.
Well, of course it would be possible. But would it be popular? Would it get ratings? I believe it would, based on this very video. Ten million views in five years and 24,000 likes. Would Jay want to do it? I don't know. The only way we would find out would be to e-mail NBC and tell them we want it, and then see what happens. I think it could be a funny show, and not dated, because newspapers, magazines and restaurant menus still have unfortunate typos.
I miss Jay too. I hope he's doing well 👍🏽
@@RustyShackleford- They just canceled his game show.
My favorite headline of all time is one of those "we interviewed random people" ones and it was "How do you feel about the new prison?" And some guy says "I like the old prison I just got out last week."
Too funny
I can't get enough of this s .
This was GOLD!!
Used to look forward to Monday night for jays headlines, also loved jaywalking.
I miss Jay Leno on The Tonight Show..😩
Thank you for this upload. It is bringing me much joy
Wow, somehow these seem so much more wholesome watching from 2021.
Well, anarchy won.
Always makes me happy.
It's 9am and 😂.
Thanks. Great way to start my day.
I fell asleep to this and woke up thinking “people in my dream were making me laugh my ass off!” Turns out this was just seeping in haha
I just woke up to this too😂😂😂
This happened to me as well!
@@TheeNobleHeater that’s so awesome
Loved the crashed airplane piece. When I went for my first skydiving lesson, when I arrived at the airport the plane was upside down. It had just crashed. On second thought I decided not to go that day.
Thank you for taking the time to compile these 😁. I feel like a kid again watching this
Personally loved the guy....hated it when he left. Seriously.....it really hasn't been the same.....even as a kid I could follow along and just laugh so hard
I was watching a closer look & woke up to this lol
This is better
I also was watching A Closer Look and woke up to this! 😅 I prefer Seth Meyers to Jay Leno, but this is pretty funny.
Love coming back to this as white noise to fall asleep to. This brings me back to when I was just getting out of high school and blowing off the next few years
Utterly brilliant as always. Even included shout out to economics with "There is no such thing as a free lunch."
More like a shout out to Heinlein
Jay Leno is my favorite late show and best stand up comedian and headline and jay Leno god bless you American
The news was funny but Jay made them even funnier! I sure miss late night T.V.
I 💕 Leno. His stuff always makes my day better!
Carson and Conan were the only funny ones on the tonight show. Also loved parr
I'll tell you what this segment alone is better than any segment that Jimmy Fallon does on his show 100%
Wrong
I love Jimmy, but I might also agree. Jay quipping about these ads is a kind of humor that hasn’t been replaced. I think he did it better than Dave…
Fallon is awful
You can tell me, but that won’t make it right. This stuff, while funny, takes zero creative thought.
Back when times were much simpler. Life was more fun.
you will say the same thing 20 years from now when watching todays news
Would stay up with my mother to watch every monday
This was always a segment I looked forward to, I think I even sent one in once!
Which one did you sent in?
I'm 15 minutes into this nearly four-hour video and I am laughing every time over and over what a refreshing and exciting video this is. Share it with everybody you know. This is real humor.
I watch these before bed I did laughing
🤡🤡🤡 i'll find this funny when my uncle stops touching me
Watch Conan and you’ll know what real funny is. Jay is the least funny person that ever lived.
@@dennislopez8661 is the fact that Jay Leno retired #1 proof that Conan is funnier? You've got to be kidding. You have it reversed
@@Rbl7132 number doesn’t mean anything. Just means there was nothing else to watch 😂
I start watching Jay Leno in 2004 I was 15 funniest thing I’ve ever seen now I am watching some rerun shows I missed out on
