"Jay Leno's Garage" may have started off as a way for the late-night host to capitalize on his love of cars. But the series has become more an opportunity to indulge in corny comedy sketches with the kind of A-listers he used to have on "The Tonight Show." In the Season 5 premiere, Leno, who will be performing Sept. 15 at Treasure Island Casino, pretends he's a gangster being chased by mobsters and pokes fun at shotgun passenger Kevin Hart.
