Jay Leno is celebrating his 74th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed television hosts of his generation.

Popular television host-comedian-actor-producer Jay Leno (The Tonight Show, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 74th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
