Jay Leno show at 5pm
 
Lots of laughs. Great comedian and a 75 min. show with no intermission. Really funny.

Wanted to go but our kids are here visiting and they said Leno Who? That shot that idea in the can!

Glad you had a great time. Hopefully next time.

Did he use any really bad language? Please say no but tell me the truth, please.

No bad language....good clean show. And, he performed in a suit and tie....refreshing change.

I saw him a few months ago in Lakeland and I agree, He was fabulous, funny, clean jokes and pretty much stayed away from politics. No intermission. I will definitely go see him again when he comes back.

I could have faked it and gone to the show but didn't want to stir the pot at home. You know the old fake I forgot we had company that day. We always liked Jay Leno on The Tonight Show and on his Car Show. I am glad he was funny and kept it clean and since I posted this morning I see that he handled a blip with the equipment with ease. What a great guy he is and I'm glad you all had a great time.

I asked our kids who are visiting if the thought Jay Leno was funny and one of the Daughter In Laws said I never heard of John Leno before. Maybe a good call skipping this show, hopefully, there is a next time.

I didn't go to the show but I have a lot of respect for Jay Leno. He's not doing to get in the gutter with political comments. Trashes them all. oOve him.

Just my personal opinion. I love Jay but they were asking a lot of money for that show (although I fully understand why). I have no problem paying that for an actual SHOW (Like Jersey Boys, Rent, Chicago) where there is a major production involved but for a single standup comedian .... meh. We saw Hamilton in Orlando a few weeks ago and our Orchestra tickets weren't that much more than Leno's top ticket. As much as I like him I can watch his routines on YouTube.

I normally wouldn't have paid that much but it was my birthday gift to myself. Last year my dear husband gave me a take-out order of chicken wings. Thought I'd up his game.

We all have our value system. I have a tendency to determine what I want to see, who I want to see and since I don't have control over the price, if I want to see, then I pay. I remember going to Broadway Shows a couple times a year, since I didn't live in NY when I added in the transportation, hotel and food, a Leno ticket here was dirt cheap.
