Jay Leno and Wife Mavis Share Update Amid Her Dementia Battle (Exclusive)


Jay was recently granted conservatorship of the joint estate he shares with his wife, Mavis.

A month after that news first emerged, ET obtained documents pertaining to Jay's conservatorship petition, in which Mavis' court-appointed legal counsel, Ronald Ostrin, urged the court to grant the bid.
