Corvallis, Ore. - The Tonight Show's Jay Leno, one of the country's premier comedians, is scheduled to make a Dad's Weekend appearance at Gill Coliseum Fri., Oct. 17. His appearance will be followed by the football team's annual battle with rival Washington at Reser Stadium the following day.
The Emmy Award winning and top-rated late night program host celebrated his 10th anniversary last year. Leno has created his own unique late-night style with a combination of humor, talk, and entertainment.
Leno's "everyman" style and personality have helped him earn millions of fans worldwide, but primarily in the regions where people can relate to his personable style and work ethic. He has been touted as one of the nicest people in show business and the hardest-working -- a winning tandem for the man who says "Anyone can have a life - careers are hard to come by!"
Leno has appeared in hundreds of comedy shows around the United States for the past 20 years. He remains passionate about performing in front of live audiences and appears regularly on college campuses around the United States.
Tickets, priced at $37 and $26, go on sale Wed., May 28. Tickets may be obtained by visiting the OSU Athletic Ticket Office in Gill Coliseum or by calling 1-800-Go-Beavs.
