We went to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno again this afternoon. Hugh Jackman rolled down his window and signed three or four total autographs before deciding to continue on his way. We were fortunate to obtain one of the autographs. I've heard that Jackman isn't always the most accomodating signer, especially when it comes to autographing X-Men stuff, as he believes dealers are the ones that are asking him to sign X-Men memorabilia.Betty White passed by us in her limo but would not oblige our pleadings for her to sign our items. White has revitalized her career with a recent turn in the Sandra Bullock comedy "The Proposal" and she is hosting Saturday Night Live on May 8th.
We wanted another opportunity to add some more Jay Leno autographs to our collection and he did not disappoint today. When the taping of the show
let out today, a bunch of fans lingered, hoping for the chance to meet the show guests. After Jackman and White departed, many of these fans had taken off except for 5 younger female fans. Around 6:00pm (an hours after the taping ends) Jay drove up to us, stopping and greeting us. His window was rolled down and the group of fans asked him to sign their show tickets, which Leno did. They then asked for a photo with him, which he replied, "Sure!" My sister was next and Jay signed all 5 of her photos and then he signed 5 photos for me as well. I complimented Jay on his website called Jay Leno's Garage (http://www.jaylenosgarage/
ww.jaylenosgarage/) which features the cars and vehicles from Jay's famous collection. He seemed to appreciate my comments, telling me, "Thanks." I asked him that I knew it was a tough question but what was his favorite automobile in his collection? In the spirit of a true automobile aficionado, Leno replied, "Whichever one I'm driving today." I took a photograph with Leno and his automobile, thanked him for his time and with that he sped off into the evening. This guy is wonderful to collectors.
