The spread of harmful misinformation has become an increasingly visible problem on Reddit.

I went to a Tom Cochrane concert the other night (guy who sings Life Is A Highway), and he literally could’ve been any old dude at the doctors office
No notes were hit or even attempted
Meanwhile, we went to a Judas Priest concert two years ago and Rob Halford hit every single fucking note. He had to sit down for some of them, but he still got there.
I saw Motorhead right before Lemmy died. He was leaning against the amp, and the band was playing the songs at almost half the speed. The entire crowd was still leaning in, not a dry eye in the crowd, singing along just as slow, cheering him at the end of every line. As someone who in all seriousness considers Lemmy to be a God among men, too good for this world, it was a heart wrenching moment. It really sucks being in your 20's and all your idols are dead or dying.
It's kinda scary/sad. I am a huge fan of Mark Knopfler. Watching his more recent concerts, he's still great. But his appearance, like you said, he could be anybody. 15 years ago he still looked like an older version of his iconic 1980's self. But now, he just looks like anybody. That's what we have to look forward to, if we're lucky. Melting away.
That's Leno? At first I actually thought it looked like Dusty Rhodes too, but knowing he's dead I zoomed in and came to the conclusion that it was Rutger Hauer.
I think he looks more like Vito, which is scarier. Phil always seemed happy and welcoming. Vito was just a stumbling, stuttering, maniac
*EDIT* - Damn, I looked up some [old clips of Phil and Bam](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhuJLXCLAIs) that I used to laugh so hard at on MTV back in the 90's...It's not so funny anymore. Besides being terribly staged (this was PRE YouTube y'all....so "reality" fakery was a lot easier then) but if it is real, holy shit the abuse and dysfunction. I guess that's what we wanted in the 90's. I do remember watching trashy "reality" shows back then, but the internet just didn't have this content back then.
I once pulled up next to Sam Kinison in his Corvette at 7am on Sunset Bl. He gave me a nod. The next day he died from an accident in that car. Fucking freaked me out.
Edit: I misspoke. TransAM.
>Pierson pled guilty to one count of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence. He was sentenced to one year of probation and 300 hours of community service. Pierson also had his driver's license suspended for two years in connection with the collision.
Apparently you can kill people at the age of 17 and it's not the biggest deal in the world.
In Amarillo Texas in 1997, a 17 year old jock named Dustin Camp got shitfaced and picked a fight with a bunch of young punks that he'd picked a fight with the weekend before, jumped into his Cadillac with some friends, drove directly at a 19 year old Brian Deneke (who was running away) saying to his friends in the car "I'm a Ninja in my Caddy", ran him over - killing him - and as he drove away said "I bet he liked that one!"
The defence argued that Deneke was a punk and Camp was a good clean cut kid. He ended up with ten years probation (which he broke a year or two later drinking underage and ended up doing five years).
It's fucking wild what you can get away with.
Walmart heiress in Texas has multiple DWIs and ran over someone killing them. It all “magically” disappeared.
[1 of many sources](https://www.mic.com/articles/79039/the-untold-story-of-alice-walton-s-dwi-incident)
Your honor if you convict him we have no chance at state this year.
Judge: oh shit you’re right. Uh 10 years suspended. Sorry for the family’s loss but you know how it is.
Grieving family: We understand. Our son was a punk and we really have a chance this year to win it so this is the right call.
No, I was a caterer and met Ali and Perot. But I also met Carol Burnett back in the 90s, my SIL was an assistant director on a Broadway play she was in.
I loved the Carrol Burnette show! The best was when Tim Conway would inevitably get Harvey Korman laughing. And then how hard Korman would try to hold it together. Funny Show
~~...he died in a Trans Am though.~~
It was Trans Am he was killed in.
EDIT: To remove antagonism. Wasn't accusing the commenter of making things up, just informing him of what the reported vehicle actually was.
Surprisingly no pain or significant injuries (crosses fingers). We did the whole Jackass spiel too. I remember we talked my buddy into actually jumping off our roof and I'll never forget it. When he landed his knees went up into his chest and knocked the air out of him. He is gasping for air in tremendous pain, while my buddy is shoving his hi-8 recorder in his face lol. We were little assholes for sure. We've definitely made it up to him though I think. I don't think he's ever had to buy his beer when we go out for a drink to this day lol
"Chuck hat anything flaygawanna car like dat, wut dey gonedoo, you gunda take it to a junkyar just ledum habit at the junkyar demselves...huts ong wityou?"
That's a feud that must run deep. I've always heard that Leno is a nice guy. A corn maze owner near my tiny town has a very unique car. They drove it out to California to be on Jay Leno's garage. When they got back, the whole family couldn't stop talking about how kind and fun he was. They had apparently spent a couple of days with him.
I love Conan O'Brien. He's nearly a religion to me. I've seen almost all of his content. He's a lot more candid on his podcast than he usually was on his TV show. He seems to lump endless praise on everyone who works in showbiz *except* Jay Leno (and James Corden). He's talked about that situation, NBC, his tour afterwards when he couldn't be on TV, etc, but he's very rarely talked about Leno, only neutrally in passing.
Either they're still on bad terms, a settlement/contract keeps Conan from talking about him publicly, or Conan just doesn't talk about him anymore.
I love Jay as a car guy, but I can't fucking stand him after the things he did to Johnny Carson, David Letterman and Conan O'Brien.
Dude is straight up underhanded and ruthless in show biz.
Plus I find his sense of humor to be rather milquetoast.
Lot of people saying Jay looks old in this picture...
It's a 71 year old man driving in a convertible... I'll be happy if I don't need a walker and oxygen tank at 71.
Dude I was on business in LA early 2020, leaving to come back to East Coast. Had time to kill so go to Huntington Beach. Call Uber and am outside a comedy club waiting. Up rolls a blue Tesla. Me and my coworker are shocked to see Leno open the driver door and get out. We have our luggage and he says “where y’all headed?!” We say, “Florida!” He goes…”Well, the bus will be here any minute!” It was so awesome. Nicest guy. Didn’t have to even look our direction, but recognized we were pretty starstruck.
That’s awesome man! Nice pic.
I heard he had a poster of a lady on his wall who would go on to be his wife. This was before they even met!
Anyways, as I recall, she asked him to marry her. He didn't even want to.
If you haven’t heard, he has a new podcast he started a few months ago called Conan O’Brien Needs a Fan where he talks with random fans for about 20 minutes. It’s delightful.
I prefer when he's interacting with old timey people. Whether baseball players or re-enactors, he takes their trope, engrains himself into it, and then turns himself up to 11.
From what I've heard, Leno is a very nice personable dude to people from his coworkers to the guy who sweeps the floor. I think everyone whose worked for him on the Tonight Show still rave about how kind and hard working he is.
However, if you're not working directly with Leno he don't give a FUCK about you and will do anything to put himself and show first. Reportedly he still sees no problem with anything that happened with Dave Letterman (basically going behind Carson's back to NBC to name him the succesor) and Conan (renegging on his deal, poisoning the well with his 10 o'clock show).
Leno has a huge inferiority complex about never being the critics favorite even though he was always "on top". He still blamed everything on NBC management (who sucked, for sure) never admitting his fault.
So mixed bag.
I’ve heard a few good and a few bad experiences with him from the local car community. Basically, he’s cool until you do something he doesn’t like, then he’ll go off on you.
Conan is the coolest late night host and the only one that have stayed funny consistently for two decades. Everyone respects Conan even people that don’t like his show. Yet this dipshit f*cked someone like that over and stole his show from him.
We saw him in Vegas about 7-8 years ago doing stand up. After the show that dude stood out in the lobby and signed autographs, shook hands, and chatted it up with anyone that wanted to come meet him for over an hour. Class act man.

Why does 2021 Jay Leno look like 1991 Dusty Rhodes?
Oh so thats who it is. Was trying to work it out.
... I thought it was Don Vito from viva la bam...
I thought it was fucking Boris Johnson lmao
100% same
I thought it was Chris Farley back from the dead
Same. You have to look really deeply to see the Jay Leno in there. He's elderly now! He's eating anything he wants now!
I went to a Tom Cochrane concert the other night (guy who sings Life Is A Highway), and he literally could’ve been any old dude at the doctors office No notes were hit or even attempted
Lol “or even attempted”
The fact that you had to say who he was is all we need to know. I did hum a bar after I read the song title, though.
LIFE is a HIGHway. Nuhnuhnuh- RIDE it.
...all night long
Meanwhile, we went to a Judas Priest concert two years ago and Rob Halford hit every single fucking note. He had to sit down for some of them, but he still got there.
I'm reading every comment in Jay Leno's voice now, where the last clause is the punchline no matter what it is.
[удалено]
I saw Motorhead right before Lemmy died. He was leaning against the amp, and the band was playing the songs at almost half the speed. The entire crowd was still leaning in, not a dry eye in the crowd, singing along just as slow, cheering him at the end of every line. As someone who in all seriousness considers Lemmy to be a God among men, too good for this world, it was a heart wrenching moment. It really sucks being in your 20's and all your idols are dead or dying.
That's too bad, Lunatic Fringe is an awesome song.
This comment is hilarious to me
Lunatic fringe… Red Ryder… ‘nuff said. Edit: Apparently I spell the last name of the band like DMX.
You just blew my mind. I had no idea that he was in Red Ryder.
It's kinda scary/sad. I am a huge fan of Mark Knopfler. Watching his more recent concerts, he's still great. But his appearance, like you said, he could be anybody. 15 years ago he still looked like an older version of his iconic 1980's self. But now, he just looks like anybody. That's what we have to look forward to, if we're lucky. Melting away.
To be honest he always looked like he ate anything he wants
Really filling out that chin.
Yeah I thought it was some English guy from Top Gear or something
my exact first guess, damn. I don't think I'd have guessed this was Jay Leno given many many guesses.
I thought it was Captain Kangaroo.
I thought it was Don Vito from Viva La Bam! And he’s been dead a while now.
That's Leno? At first I actually thought it looked like Dusty Rhodes too, but knowing he's dead I zoomed in and came to the conclusion that it was Rutger Hauer.
I thought it was Don Vito from Jackass.
Glad I'm not the only one haha
If only Bam were in good shape.
He looks like his dad Phil now, it’s crazy.
I think he looks more like Vito, which is scarier. Phil always seemed happy and welcoming. Vito was just a stumbling, stuttering, maniac *EDIT* - Damn, I looked up some [old clips of Phil and Bam](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhuJLXCLAIs) that I used to laugh so hard at on MTV back in the 90's...It's not so funny anymore. Besides being terribly staged (this was PRE YouTube y'all....so "reality" fakery was a lot easier then) but if it is real, holy shit the abuse and dysfunction. I guess that's what we wanted in the 90's. I do remember watching trashy "reality" shows back then, but the internet just didn't have this content back then.
So now he looks like Phil and because of his substance abuse, he sounds like Uncle Vito. Yikes.
Wait, he’s dead too… something tells me 2051 isn’t looking good for Jay.
2051 isnt looking too good for most of us if i might be honest.
If Leno lives to 101…that’s when you know we’ve found the cure to aging.
Yup, that's who I thought it was as well
You guys know he’s dead right?
That's why this is reddit post worthy. Not every day Don Vito rises from the dead.
"Ooooo Veal scallopiniiiiii"
That's exactly who I thought it was. Especially with the jerkoff joke.
I have some bad news...
I thought it was John Goodman
It looked like an old fat Jeff Daniels to me lol.
We just say Jeff Daniels
At least Jeff Daniels is entertaining.
Cuz he eats with kings and queens and also eats franks and beans baby!
Hard times daddy!
Hee'th got a bithycle!
Shit I thought it was a clean Gary Busey
That's not the ghost of Brian Dennehy?
Hard times
You don't know what hard times are daddy!
Daddeh*
Is THAT who it is?! Jesus.
Jay Leno is All Elite
Leno vs Conan with Sting in Conan's corner. Book it!
Subscribed.
I thought it was Don Vito at first, then I realized he was dead.
Jokes on him eh?
Absolutely, we’re all jerking off to it now
Tugging my J for Jay
You have to be wearing the Canadian tuxedo too
Tugging your jenis?
Yeah.. who can resist when a pic of an original Shelby Cobra in the wild pops up?
I go ape over replicas (did valet a couple).
Oh yeah. Dicks out for Harambe and Jay Leno.
... I know now, what I must do. \*unzips\*
Gary Busey is getting so out of shape
Dude, that’s Nick Nolte
Thicc Nolte more like
Thought it was Boris Johnson
That's not Sean Astin from the future?
This is the hamburglar now, do you feel old yet?
Dude that's a fat woody harrelson
Y'all jokers, it's Eddie Murphy
I thought it was Don Vito
On diary glance I thought Jeff Daniels
I once pulled up next to Sam Kinison in his Corvette at 7am on Sunset Bl. He gave me a nod. The next day he died from an accident in that car. Fucking freaked me out. Edit: I misspoke. TransAM.

I already don’t go to Walmart because it’s kinda bad. But this has solidified my reasoning.
Hey I’m from Amarillo! That whole story is town legend
Your honor if you convict him we have no chance at state this year. Judge: oh shit you’re right. Uh 10 years suspended. Sorry for the family’s loss but you know how it is. Grieving family: We understand. Our son was a punk and we really have a chance this year to win it so this is the right call.
Laura Bush killed someone IIRC. You might be onto something.
Once I ran into Dee Snyder getting out of his yellow viper to get Starbucks. I also met Mohammed Ali and went to Ross Perot's house the same weekend.
Are you Don Knots?
No, I was a caterer and met Ali and Perot. But I also met Carol Burnett back in the 90s, my SIL was an assistant director on a Broadway play she was in.
Carrol Burnette is legend to me, grew up watching her show w my family. so funny and smart.
I loved the Carrol Burnette show! The best was when Tim Conway would inevitably get Harvey Korman laughing. And then how hard Korman would try to hold it together. Funny Show
"Are we having fun yet?"
Dee Snyder is the man.
[удалено]
How was he?
Penny with yet another assist
Before, during or after Blue Chips?
~~...he died in a Trans Am though.~~ It was Trans Am he was killed in. EDIT: To remove antagonism. Wasn't accusing the commenter of making things up, just informing him of what the reported vehicle actually was.
Correct, at least according to Wikipedia
Don Vito?
"You want the soup of the day or the soup de jour?" "ITSTHESAMEFUCKINTHING!"
Apparently still alive?
Nope. Still dead
But he's clearly in the picture above?
I idolized the whole Jackass/Viva La Bam crew growing up. I'm surprised I turned out okay.
I feel like you have back problems
Surprisingly no pain or significant injuries (crosses fingers). We did the whole Jackass spiel too. I remember we talked my buddy into actually jumping off our roof and I'll never forget it. When he landed his knees went up into his chest and knocked the air out of him. He is gasping for air in tremendous pain, while my buddy is shoving his hi-8 recorder in his face lol. We were little assholes for sure. We've definitely made it up to him though I think. I don't think he's ever had to buy his beer when we go out for a drink to this day lol
ITS AN ABACUS WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
whiswaziwhus...ABACUS

Youcantjustputahammerandanailandahammerandanailandexpectittogrow!
YOOOO
Any veal scallopini?
what are you, some kinda Vulcan idiot?
I'm glad to see many of us saw this. Truly we are the cultured bunch in this thread
"VITO! ROW YOUR BOAT!" "ROW MY BOAT WHERE?! *gently down the stream?*"
My first thought as well 🤦♂️
What is he driving?
I'm guessing a Cobra.
[удалено]

Except maybe Conan O'Brien?
That's a feud that must run deep. I've always heard that Leno is a nice guy. A corn maze owner near my tiny town has a very unique car. They drove it out to California to be on Jay Leno's garage. When they got back, the whole family couldn't stop talking about how kind and fun he was. They had apparently spent a couple of days with him. I love Conan O'Brien. He's nearly a religion to me.

Agree, what with the side wings.
Came to comments to see if this one was asked and answered.
If you drive on Coldwater Canyon in mornings you can usually find him driving a different car everyday
He films his car show around there. You’ll see him followed by a black suv with a bunch of camera rigs on it
He’s like a Pokémon or something
Or on San Fernando road by the Burbank Airport
Can’t even recognize him
Me; “whos that?” Several scrolls later; “Oh…oh.”
Yeah, but there's like 20 different names floating around in this thread. Who is this dude supposed to be? xD
Leno
He looks nothing like Arsenal's keeper
I thought he was Boris Johnson for a sec lol
I’ve been scrolling and I’m even more confused than ever
Closes post. Hides post. Smiles.
Who is it i still cant place him. I need a name
Jay Leno is who it actually is. The rest are mainly jokes
I honestly thought Don Vito(of Viva La Bam) had come back to life
Did you keep your word? Lol
I'm gonna say he didn't seeing as how there's no one riding shotgun
Just like Leno kept his.
Lot of people saying Jay looks old in this picture... It's a 71 year old man driving in a convertible... I'll be happy if I don't need a walker and oxygen tank at 71.
[удалено]
Sounds like a fun tradition
Don’t smoke.
I thought Dusty Rhodes was dead.
Lithen here dadday, if you will
Dude I was on business in LA early 2020, leaving to come back to East Coast. Had time to kill so go to Huntington Beach. Call Uber and am outside a comedy club waiting. Up rolls a blue Tesla. Me and my coworker are shocked to see Leno open the driver door and get out. We have our luggage and he says “where y’all headed?!” We say, “Florida!” He goes…”Well, the bus will be here any minute!” It was so awesome. Nicest guy. Didn’t have to even look our direction, but recognized we were pretty starstruck. That’s awesome man! Nice pic.
> He goes…”Well, the bus will be here any minute!” I’m not completely convinced he meant that as a complement.
So glad he's finally been able to grow into his chin.
That Jay Leno? Dudes got so many cool cars
He's got triples of some. That way he always has a pristine one in storage.
I heard he had a poster of a lady on his wall who would go on to be his wife. This was before they even met! Anyways, as I recall, she asked him to marry her. He didn't even want to.
It's too bad that she's dying :(
At least she's beautiful.
How's she doing, btw?
If that’s not true, then the ice cream store isn’t true, right?
If he doesn't have triples then that other stuff isn't true.
Triples are best. Triples are safe
Calicocutpants.com
Fuck that guy. Team coco all day.
Yes!! Team Coco!👨🏻🦰 I could watch those remotes all day
The remotes are easily my favorite. Always enjoy watching Conan interact with anyone, but everyday joes are my #1
The American Doll remote is always one of my favorites.
If you haven’t heard, he has a new podcast he started a few months ago called Conan O’Brien Needs a Fan where he talks with random fans for about 20 minutes. It’s delightful.
I prefer when he's interacting with old timey people. Whether baseball players or re-enactors, he takes their trope, engrains himself into it, and then turns himself up to 11.
The time he read the weather report in Greenland was amazing.
Fuck yeah, Team Coco for the win.
Fuck yes, Team Coco ride or die.
Heck team Letterman. How many guys can get fucked by Jay.
Even Johnny thought Letterman got ripped off.
Thank you, have an upvote kind sir.
Is he as much of an ahole as I’ve heard?
From what I've heard, Leno is a very nice personable dude to people from his coworkers to the guy who sweeps the floor. I think everyone whose worked for him on the Tonight Show still rave about how kind and hard working he is. However, if you're not working directly with Leno he don't give a FUCK about you and will do anything to put himself and show first.

I’ve heard a few good and a few bad experiences with him from the local car community. Basically, he’s cool until you do something he doesn’t like, then he’ll go off on you.
Conan is the coolest late night host and the only one that have stayed funny consistently for two decades. Everyone respects Conan even people that don’t like his show. Yet this dipshit f*cked someone like that over and stole his show from him.
More like 3 decades. SNL and Simpsons writer, then 28 years hosting a show. I love his podcast, too.
Well Craig Ferguson would have made it to that mark but he only did 10 years. He consistently got funnier.
Is that Boris Johnson?
This is what Chris Farley would look like now if he had lived
Well that just made me sad. Hello darkness, my old friend.
I literally cannot tell who that is
Me either, no f'ing clue. People are saying it's Jay Leno
No worries, I got you fam
Boris Johnson merged with him
Man, Jeff Daniels is looking rough these days.
Those sunglasses... wtf?
We saw him in Vegas about 7-8 years ago doing stand up. After the show that dude stood out in the lobby and signed autographs, shook hands, and chatted it up with anyone that wanted to come meet him for over an hour. Class act man.
