he is a comedy legend, an emmy award winning tv host. we like to call him a friend. his hit series "jay leno's garage" is in full gear this season from vintage vehicles to super charged cars, jay gets in the drivers seat pursuing his passion >> in the newest episode jay sets up a once in a lifetime corvette drag race between vice president joe biden and general colin powell. take a look. >> the only bad thing about driving an older corvette is there's always some showoff in a new corvette trying to blow your doors off. >> the question is, can he drive? >> he's got better brakes than you. >> he's got better everything

>> look who it is. >> where were you? is i kept looking in the mirror. >> they really started trash talking each other to the point the secret service -- they both go -- they almost hit each other. secret service are going "settle down, settle down. get biden out of that car." >> how did you pull it off? how did you get the two of them to do it? >> colinow old cars. that's what he does in his spare time. joe biden has had that corvette. we did a thing on love affairs with cars. like original owner cars. he got it new in '67. only two payments left. no. he got a new one in '67. he's had it all this time. his son surprised him a couple years ago and restored it. but being vice president he couldn't drive it. we went to the secret service training facility where there are a couple hundred miles of road where you can do whatever

colin powell showed up with his car. >> you've been collecting cars for years. for people who want to get into this, you don't have to spend millions of dollars. >> no. you know, i like the story. sometimes you buy the story. one of my favorite stories, i already owned a hudson hornet. this 94-year-old lady calls me, we bought a hudson hornet new in '5 my husband died in '96. i want it to go to a new home. i go look at it. it's totally worn out. she says will you give me $5,000 for it? i said okay. i bought it. we took it back to the garage, fixed it up, painted it. about 16 months later, it's done. let me see if she's still alive. hello. she's 96. i said you want to go for a ride in my car? oh, no, i got to get my hair done. she looks 70.

she says account kican the kids? i said sure. the kids are 70 and 72. i go out to the house. they've got her blindfold edbli. they bring her out blindfolded. she sees the car, gets very emotional. she says let's go for a drive, pretend we're driving cross-country in new jersey. now the 70 and 72-year-old are in the back. they start going like this to each other. she turns slapping the crap out of them. i'll pull this car over! the three of them were laughing. it was so much fun. i go well, that's what it is. it is not a really valuable car. but it is a fun car. it brought back such memories for this woman. then the kids told me when they were teenagers they were ashamed that their dad had this, by that time, 16-year-old car. the dad would drop them off down the block from high school. they would walk to school so the kids wouldn't see their dad had an old car. of course now it is a classic car.

so that's -- you buy the story. you know? >> that's great, plan. that is great. >> it's a lot of fun. >> jimmy fallon last night, a tag team? can we show what happened? >> this is something jimmy and i do all the time. i jump in on the monologue. we pick a topic. it was the economy. >> forbes came out with its annual list of the 400 richest americans and 200 of them haved of mo back in with their parents. that's how bad! in beverly hills i saw a wom tanning using the sun! that never happens! the economy is so bad that the "today" show, kathie lee and hoda were splitting a 40! i've never seen that! >> that's a good one. man, we missed you. >> given this political season, do you miss the nightly monologue? >> actually, i don't. because it is so ugly. i grew up in the era when clinton was horny and bush was dumb.

patriotism or their basic decency. i mean this one, i have to admit, i just thought back to -- anti-muslim, anti-women, it's all anti. it is not pro. everyone, just who do you hate more? everybody hates the other guy more. >> but you are touring. what's your sweet spot? >> you can get a lot of fun jokes. >> what's your sweet spot outside politics right now? >> well, politics is good. >> bill clinton's been out campaigning with hillary. it is not helping. like at one point during the campaign bill stopped to kiss a baby which is normally okay, except the kiss was breastfeeding at the time. >> whoa! jay leno, ladies and gentlemen! >> made it awkward. made it awkward. >> jay leno! new episode to "jay leno's garage."
