Jay Leno Comes To The Van Wezel in January

The Van Wezel is excited to welcome Jay Leno to Sarasota on Saturday, Jan. 15 at 8 p.m.

Jay Leno is widely characterized as "the hardest working man in show business." He is an acclaimed TV late night show host, admired stand-up comedian, best-selling children's book author, in-demand corporate speaker, TV and movie voice-over artist, pioneering car builder and mechanic, and philanthropist.

Jay Leno's late night television ratings dominated for two decades while he was the host of the #1-rated "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." He never lost a ratings year during the time he served as host.

He currently produces and is host of the CNBC Television series "Jay Leno's Garage" which is now in its fifth season. "Jay Leno's Garage" explores the world of cars, never forgetting that it's the people behind the wheel who provide the real stories. The series debuted in October 2015 and delivered CNBC's most-watched first season in network history. New episodes of "Jay Leno's Garage" can be viewed on CNBC throughout the year.

Tickets are $82-$102 and can be purchased at www.VanWezel.org, by calling the box office at 941-263-6799 or by visiting the box office Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All other single tickets for the Van Wezel's 2021-2022 season are on sale now.
