"In L.A., you actually need a car before you need a place to live because you can't get to the place you live if you don't have a car, because there's really no public transportation," he tellsHowever, Leno still couldn't afford an apartment, so he slept in his Roadmaster. And in between nights in the car, he squatted in empty houses.
"I would drive around to open houses. I'd go there on a Sunday — you know, 'open from 12 to 4' — then around 3:30, I'd look around the house, and then I'd slam the door and duck in the closet," he says. "When the realtor locked up, I would live in the house for a couple of days."He was also careful to keep the homes he stayed in tidy. "I never stole anything. I always took care of the house and made the bed and everything.
Leno says the stunt is one of the craziest things he did to get by as a young comic. "It was fantastic," he adds.
