Jay Leno might be a car guy, but he’s also a green guy!
Earlier this year, Ecorazzi reported that Leno had started a segment on his show called the Green Car Challenge, where celebrities take turns racing around a homemade track in a specially prepared Ford Focus-based battery car. While racing, the famous contestants face a [...]
NBC’s “Green is Universal” initiative is kicking off its third-annual “Green Week” of environmentally-themed programming starting this Sunday! Color me surprised that this campaign is still alive and kicking three years after its launch.

Well, Rush Limbaugh certainly didn’t disappoint.
After a lengthy conversation with Jay Leno on his right-wing viewpoints (which unsurprisingly ended with the government taking away our liberty, rights to happiness, blah, blah), the radio host jumped into a Ford all-electric Focus and took to the racetrack.
