If you watch enough episodes of Jay Leno’s Garage, you begin to assume that the man wears two things—whatever the wardrobe manager on the Tonight Show puts him in and denim. Though he’s indeed wearing his signature jean-on-jean getup in the latest episode, he is not in fact in his garage. Instead, the TV personality and automotive enthusiast is in someone else’s garage—Brown’s Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona—to be precise. What’s he doing there?
