ET caught up with Jay Leno Tuesday night in Hollywood at the 'Raptor - Born in Baja' premiere and the talk show host opened up about the passing of iconic tv personality Ed McMahon.

"Ed was a great guy, I was a good friend of Ed's," Leno tells ET. "I don't know anybody that didn't like Ed. He was just a wonderful, wonderful guy. That was really sad. He was a terrific guy."

"Well he was an icon, we all grew up watching him late at night with Johnny Carson" Dr. Andrew Ordon ("The Doctors") says about McMahon. "He was sort of the sidekick. Sort of played second fiddle to Johnny, but we loved him dearly."

Leno, known for his classic car collection and as an automotive enthusiast joined actress Judy Tenuta, Ordon and other stars at the premiere of the new documentary about an off-road racing team.

'Raptor - Born in Baja' documents a team of off-road racers as they build, test and unveil a new F-150 SVT Raptor truck at the toughest point-to-point off-road race known to man and machine, the Baja 1000.
