“For someone who travels as much as I do, the idea of paying to stay in a hotel as part of being on a vacation isn’t anything I’m interested in, especially when I could be home enjoying my time,” Leno said.Īs host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” spanning his tenure from 1992 to 2014 (with a brief hosting hiatus in 20), Leno cherished his dream job and was able to sit across the desk from the biggest names in movies, TV and newsmakers as well as meeting everyday folks to enjoy their own moments of fame for accomplishments.

“People still ask me about where I like to go for vacation, and my answer is I like to go home.” Besides dividing his time in Los Angeles for work, Leno and his wife of 40 years Mavis, and the couple’s cat Angela, have a beautiful sprawling country home along the water in Newport, Rhode Island, which they purchased in 2017. “I’m still doing a lot of traveling with my comedy shows, and that’s because I love the comedy part of it and the audiences, but not the traveling so much,” he said.
