Jay Leno Goes Undercover as an Uber Driver
Jay Leno recently went undercover as an UberBlack driver, shuttling around unsuspecting people in Los Angeles, California.
Leno disguised himself as a bald bearded man and said his name was James. He also engaged in small talk with his passengers, bringing up late night talk show hosts while taking them to their destinations. The undercover Uber driving campaign was part of a promotion for Jay Leno’s Garage, which will be heading to CNBC starting October 7. Up until now, Jay Leno’s Garage has been a web-only show.

Hopefully the videos will be online, otherwise i'd get it off bittorrent.
Hope it is a great success. I worked as a car detailer on an event he was hosting. He came right over to me when he arrived, shook my hand and said hello. Very nice, humble guy. I wish him continued success. Go Jay!!!
