Jay Leno is celebrating his 75th 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 75th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Leno, a cultural icon

Born James Douglas Muir Leno in New Rochelle on April 28, 1950, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Leno's not just a great television host, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Jay hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Jay Leno as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 75.
