Television Host Jay Leno Learns How To Be Fearless With The Daredevil Himself
Jay Leno has moved on from night time to reality television, although he is far from being The Kardashians. From The Tonight Show, the well-known television host is now on to a new horizon – Jay Leno’s Garage – that is not without its fair share of reality television crazy.
How did he fare, you ask? Find out here.

A web and television series, Jay Leno’s Garage allows the 67-year-old to partake in one of his passions, which is collecting cars. The show is not just about automobiles, though. A recent episode of the CNBC show, The Definition of Fearless, featured Leno with Nitro Circus leader Travis Pastrana in an exploration of why people put themselves, as well as their vehicles, in harm’s way.
Pastrana has had 32 operations throughout his career and he still cannot be stopped from doing the stunts that he does. He said, “I thank my parents every day for allowing me to be able to chase my dreams.”
You cannot spend time with a daredevil, however, without being dared yourself. To be fair, Leno might have dug his own grave when he asked Pastrana, “What are we gonna do today that you haven’t done before?”
In a new episode of Jay Leno’s Garage, Travis Pastrana talked about being fearless and his journey in Nitro Circus. After 32 surgeries, Leno is surprised to hear Pastrana has still not had enough of stunts.

With a devil-may-care attitude, Pastrana challenged the multiple Emmy and People’s Choice Award nominee and winner, “Well, I mean, have you ever done a stunt on Nitro Circus?”
As Leno sat on a sofa drinking a soda on the landing ramp, motorcyclists were to race up, jump the first ramp and flip over him. In quick procession, bike after bike after bike flipped right in front of double-denim-clad Leno.
Fortunately, Leno did not knock over his soda…and he was not knocked over.
