A lot of people seem to hate this guy because they either find him unfunny or annoying or because they think he's responsible for the whole Conan thing.
But I just adore Jay, the things I love about him include his nice guy personality and his good sense of observational humour.
I also love what he can do with his voice especially when voicing animated roles. One minute it sounds highly pitched, nasally and cartoonish and the next it's all deep, loud and almost superhero-like.
His autobiography "Leading With My Chin" is hillarious and full of wild and wacky-but-at-the-same-time-true stories about what it was like for him growing up.
My personal favorites include the ones where he mentions his parents especially his crazy as hell dad.
For example on one page he recalls doing an act at this club and he keeps getting interrupted by someone in the audience, that someone is actually his dad trying to order something from the menu but he can't because all the lights are out and it's dark.
One of the waitressess hands him a torch and he yells "LET ME HAVE THE FRENCH FRIED POTADAHS!" which is laugh out loud hillarious. Especially the way Jay's father says 'potatoes' as 'Potadahs.'
There's also his children's book If Roast Beef Could Fly which has the most hillarious plot ever. It's about Jay and his father - everytime when Jay's dad does something he calls it a 'project'.
So Jay and his father go and get some equipment for this newest project which is a BBQ and what follows later is comedic gold.
Jay's favorite part of the big BBQ is getting to try the roast beef and he attempts to do this using a comb, which ends up getting put right into the roast beef.
The climax involves the roast beef flying out the window with the family dog chasing after it and catching it.
