jay leno tour review 2022

Chicago Concert Reviews

We’ve got the windy city covered., jay leno takes a break from tv for a laughter-loaded hard rock return to stand-up comedy roots.

Posted by Andy Argyrakis

The moment he took over for Johnny Carson on “The Tonight Show,” Jay Leno became the king of late night, and despite moving on from the role, the Television Hall of Famer went on to host the car-themed “Jay Leno’s Garage” and the revived game show “You Bet Your Life.”

In between, the multi-faceted entertainer regularly returns to stand-up comedy, an occasion which filled up the red hot Hard Rock Live Northern Indiana on Veterans Day, where for precisely 90 minutes, he ran through nearly every cultural topic imaginable.

Devoid of being overly raunchy, the headliner compared the pornography of back in the day to now, dissected the side effects of several prescription drugs and spoke up against cancel culture, all with his signature wit firmly in tact.

Along the way, he referenced the disgraced Bill Cosby, “Uber driver” Kevin Spacey and the constantly high Willie Nelson, plus a few minor yet humorous barbs at both President Joe Biden and Donald Trump before quickly backing away and insisting it would an apolitical performance.

Instead, he pivoted to remarking about political correctness, especially compared to how it used to be, rewriting the lyrics to Isaac Hayes’ funky “Theme From ‘Shaft’” to fit modern protocol and recalling how some previous interns seemed to speak a different language all together.

Given the Gary venue isn’t very far from Chicago, Leno even recalled opening for legendary singer/actress Freda Payne at Mister Kelly’s and dining at Mr. Beef where he got into a heated discussion with some fellow Italians over their exaggerated heritage on “The Sopranos.”

“We could not tell these jokes if it weren’t for you my friend,” Leno remarked while thanking the Hard Rock for its hospitality, and in turn, was met with a similar reaction, if only for his uncanny ability to make this increasingly heavy world temporarily feel at least a little bit lighter.

Comedian Jay Leno as millions picture him: Hosting "The Tonight Show."

Jay Leno on stage is very much like Jay Leno on screen. Maybe just a wee bit edgier than he was when hosting “The Tonight Show” on late-night TV all those years.“Edgy” isn’t really a word that one would think to apply to Leno as a rule. “Affable” fits the man much better. On stage […]

Acclaimed TV late night show host, admired stand-up comedian, best-selling children’s book author, much-in-demand corporate speaker, TV and movie voice-over artist, pioneering car builder and mechanic, and philanthropist…Jay Leno is widely characterized as “the hardest working man in show business.”

Jay Leno’s late night television ratings domination included two decades as the host of the #1-rated “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” –after the first two years Jay Leno never lost a single ratings year in which he served as host.

Leno currently produces and is host of the CNBC primetime series JAY LENO’S GARAGE now in its seventh season. The new season premieres Wednesday, September 7 at 10pm ET/PT on CNBC (Wednesdays at 10pm ET/PT).  “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. 

The show is an outgrowth of JAY LENOS GARAGE YOUTUBE CHANNEL which Leno produces and has an international following on the Web and has garnered several Emmy Awards and nominations for Outstanding Special Class–Short-Format Nonfiction Programs.

When he’s not on TV, Leno performs more than 100 stand-up shows annually across the country and internationally; participates in numerous charity and corporate events, does voice-overs for animated series, pens children’s books, and writes a monthly column in various automotive magazines.  And in his “spare” time (as if he has any), he enjoys working on his collection of classic cars and motorcycles.  In fact, he has built a number of cars, including an acclaimed eco-car in his eco-friendly green garage.

Leno is the recipient of many honors, including Emmy, People’s Choice, and TV Guide awards, Harris Poll selection as most popular star on television, the Hasty Pudding Award at Harvard University, The Mark Twain Prize, recipient of the Patriot Award given by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, and being the first person to drive the pace car of all major NASCAR events.

Jay Leno Left Impressed After Test Driving EarthRoamer LTi Camper

Based on a Ford F-550, the EarthRommer LTi is impressively built

by Stephen Rivers

EarthRoamer is a company determined to change the way wealthy people experience the great outdoors. Its lineup of highly capable and luxuriously outfitted trucks has quickly become the industry standard and now the brand is showing off its LTi to none other than Jay Leno .

At their core, most EarthRoamers are variations on the same basic recipe. Take a very capable pickup truck, remove the normal bed, replace it with a well-appointed live-in space, make the whole thing incredibly capable off-road, and call it good. This particular model, the LTi, started out life as a normal Ford F-550 before being completely transformed by the folks at EarthRoamer.

Leno is immediately smitten with how well-built everything feels. “The level of workmanship is really incredible,” he says. The doors, latches, wheels, and 43-inch (yes, you read that right) tires are meant to basically be all but indestructible.

"This is unbelievable." Jay is all about this EarthRoamer LTi. 👀😮 pic.twitter.com/8iPe7T2Us4 — Jay Leno's Garage (@LenosGarage) July 18, 2022 window._taboola = window._taboola || []; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbnails-a-mid', container: 'taboola-mid-article', placement: 'Mid Article', target_type: 'mix' }); window._taboola = window._taboola || []; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbnails-oc-2x1', container: 'taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic', placement: 'Mid Article Thumbnails Organic', target_type: 'mix' });

The rear structure is made from two panels of carbon fiber with a foam core for structural rigidity. Not only is it tough but those materials help the EarthRoamer to save weight which is more vital than one might initially think it would be on the trail. Not only does a lower weight contribute to better fuel economy (which means you can go farther off-road), but it also makes tackling obstacles easier.

One of the biggest benefits of the Earthroamer is how well-suited it is to actually camping in the great outdoors. Enthusiasts with roof-top tents will know that making sure the vehicle is near-perfectly level is vital to a good experience. The EarthRoamer uses four-wheel independent air-ride shocks so owners can individually change height in place and level the vehicle no matter what the tires might be sitting on.

Once you’re settled in, the back of the EarthRoamer is so nice that you might miss out on some of the nature that you came to see. A wine cellar, an integrated coffee maker, an induction cooktop, and a microwave are all part of the kitchen.

Somehow, the driving experience might be the most impressive part of the EarthRoamer. Despite all of the big bulky components, the truck handles the trail with just about zero drama. The whole video is well worth a watch as the details are too extensive to fully cover here.

Arsenio Hall became a household name with the success of his Emmy Award-winning late-night talk show “The Arsenio Hall Show.” The versatile actor, comedian and producer first became involved in the arts at “The Cleveland Playhouse” and continued to hone his craft through his Kent State University years.

In 1979, Hall moved from Ohio to Chicago, Illinois where he tried his hand at stand-up comedy and was discovered by jazz singer Nancy Wilson . In the following few years Arsenio toured, he opened for twenty major headliners including Patti LaBelle , Aretha Franklin , Tina Turner and Stevie Wonder . Hall attempted to diversify his career by making numerous appearances on television shows such as “Solid Gold” and “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson ” and doing his first film cameo in “Amazon Women on the Moon.” In 1987, Hall was asked to replace Joan Rivers on the Fox Network series “The Late Show.” On the strength of his work as interim host, he was signed to a film and television deal with Paramount Pictures, which subsequently led to the opportunity to co-write and co-star in the hit comedy “Coming to America.”

On January 3, 1989, “The Arsenio Hall Show” made its debut. Virtually overnight, Arsenio changed the face of late-night television by captivating young viewers across the country. During his successful five-year run as Executive Producer, Arsenio provided a forum for cutting edge comedy, politics and the television debut of pop superstars.

Arsenio was featured as the comical “Carl Cristall” in Exodus Films' animated feature “Igor,” and was featured in the HBO Sports Documentary “Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals.” In 2013, Hall returned to late-night television as executive producer and host of the CBS Television Distribution/Tribune Broadcasting nationally syndicated “The Arsenio Hall Show,” which aired on stations around the country during the 2013 - 2014 season. He also appeared in a cameo role in Adam Sandler 's ‘90s set Netflix comedy film “Sandy Wexler.” In 2017, Arsenio was featured Monday mornings as co-host of the popular nationally syndicated radio program “The Tom Joyner Morning Show” and also appeared on the ABC comedy “The Mayor.” He recently enjoyed a triumphant return to his first love of stand-up comedy performing at venues across the country and released his current Netflix stand-up special “Smart & Classy” which can be streamed in various countries across the world.

Most recently, Arsenio brought back his talk show for a 4-night run during the Netflix is a Joke festival in Los Angeles. He can be seen reprising his role as Semmi and other surprise characters in Amazon Prime's Coming 2 America now streaming.
