Jay Leno, host of “The Tonight Show” for 22 years, will be the featured performer at “An Evening with a Legend,” sponsored by the UNT Health Science Center Foundation to benefit the university’s research, education and health care mission.
Presented by Chase and J.P. Morgan, Leno will appear at 8 p.m., Nov. 6, at Fort Worth’s Bass Performance Hall. The benefit performance celebrates the partnership between UNT Health Science Center and the Fort Worth community. Leno, the recipient of The Kennedy Center’s 2014 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, is a 15-time Emmy Award nominee, winning twice, including the 1995 Emmy for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series for “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” Ticket sales will begin later this summer and sponsorship package information will be available soon at www.eveningwithalegend.com.
