In his first appearance on the show since Fallon took over, Leno recalled the time he gave the former _Saturday Night Live_ star some car advice about buying an “old-timey” car: don’t get one if you don’t want to get your hands dirty fixing it. “Look at these hands, ladies and gentlemen — that’s like a puppy’s paw,” Leno joked. “This is the hand of a five year-old.” _Elementary_ star Lucy Liu — [who recently chatted with TIME about directing, TV diversity and Destiny’s Child](http://time.com/3546888/lucy-liu-elementary-season-three-destinys-child/ "undefined") — also [stopped by](http://hulu.com/w/lm7a "undefined"). Leno interrupted the interview to tell Liu that _he_ could always interview her if Fallon’s interviewing technique wasn’t up to par. “This is your first time with Jimmy,” he said, “but I was your first.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3573970/jimmy-fallon-jay-leno-tonight-show/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3573970/jimmy-fallon-jay-leno-tonight-show/"},"headline":"Watch Jay Leno Poke Fun at Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show","datePublished":"2014-11-08T15:13:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T11:19:08.427Z","description":"The show's former host gave Fallon some car advice and delivered a stand-up set","url":"https://time.com/3573970/jimmy-fallon-jay-leno-tonight-show/","keywords":["Television","jay leno","jimmy fallon","The Tonight Show"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3573970/jimmy-fallon-jay-leno-tonight-show/","name":"Watch Jay Leno Poke Fun at Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show"}}]}] ```
