The Island Now

Former tonight show host and legendary stand-up comedian Jay Leno will be performing at the NYCB Theatre at Westbury on Friday, March 13 at 7 p.m.

In addition to his stint behind the desk of TV’s benchmark late night talk show, Leno is a best-selling children’s book author, an in-demand corporate speaker, TV and movie voice-over artist, pioneering car builder and mechanic, a philanthropist, and has been characterized as “the hardest working man in show business.”

After resuming hosting the 11:35 p.m. program following its one-time interruption, he once again made it the consistent ratings leader for late night.

He has been honored by the Television Academy with an Emmy for “Outstanding Comedy, Variety or Music Series.” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” also took home the trophy for “Favorite Late Night Show” in the annual TV Guide Awards determined by voting viewers, and he was recently installed in the Television Academy’s Broadcast Hall of Fame.
