James Douglas Muir, better known as Jay Leno, is an American comedian, actor, writer, producer, voice actor, and television host of NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno from 1992 to 2009.

However, the veteran host isn't wallowing in nostalgia, but he makes it sure that he does not miss the late-night life. As Leno said that "It's different," "You live in the time you live in and for my time, it was great."

On Wednesday, Jay Leno said at NBC/Universal's TCA Party in Beverly Hills, that faces of the show have changed but the goodwill is the same. As Jay Leno stated that the late-night talk show broadcast from the Rockefeller Center in New York City and airing on NBC since 1954 - is not some horrible, cutthroat business, and it's not true that the show stabbed people in the back.

And in that, the candid and generally affectionate opinions of Jay Leno was shared with his most direct peers, that includes Leno's Tonight Show successo Jimmy Fallon, the former timeslot competitor of Jay Leno,David Letterman and the ascendant Stephen Colbert.

The 65 year old Jay Leno about the American comedian, television host, actor, musician, writer, and producer Jimmy Fallon, Leno said, "I think Jimmy's doing a great job," Leno also said, "He's brought the demo down, but it's music parodies. ... I mean, I can't do that. It's stuff that we didn't do."  "Rocky Marciano never fought Muhammad Ali, and you can't pretend that they did," "Who would win?"

For David Letterman, Jay Leno said, "I thought we both should have gone out about the same time," "I was glad that I got out when I did." Leno also said, "When I first saw Dave, he was awkward on stage, but a brilliant wordsmith," "He could put words together in a very clever way ... and when [Letterman] saw me, I think he liked my ability to be reactive and loud."
