Car Talk: On Becoming Rock Stars
Glenn M.: Years back I remember seeing you on The Tonight Show. How did that all come about?
Ray: I think that was 1988, the first time we were on. I believe Johnny Carson was still hosting. We were dying to be on the show. I loved Johnny Carson. As it turned out, it was one of those weeks that Carson took off and Jay Leno was filling in. We actually did The Tonight Show twice with Jay Leno. Jay is just a wonderful, warm and generous guy. When we went back the second time, he insisted our families come. We had a big entourage join us. Jay got front-row seats for everybody. It was fun.
Glenn M.: Then you were eventually on Letterman and all these other --
Ray: We did Letterman, 60 Minutes, 20/20
Glenn M.: You're rock stars.
Glenn M.: And, you’ve written a couple of books. You even sell hats and other Car Talk merchandise on your Web site.
Ray: We do. We're cleanin' up Glenn!
