VIDEO: Jay Leno’s ‘The Fast and the Famous’

It is no secret that late night TV host Jay Leno is a “car guy,” so it shouldn’t surprise anyone to learn that the comedian has made a mini-film as an homage to Claude Lelouch’s “C’etait un Rendez-Vous,” (arguably the best car movie ever made) on the streets of Los Angeles.

Leno’s mini-film, “The Fast and the Famous” is shot on a 13 mile route; Mulholland east to Laurel Canyon south to Sunset Boulevard west to Coldwater Canyon north right back up to Mulholland. Leno believes this route to be LA’s “hidden circuit,” and it is coincidentally quite similar to Germany’s Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit. Is it really LA’s hidden circuit? You’ll have to watch the film to be the judge of that.
