BILOXI, Miss. – Acclaimed late night TV host, admired stand-up comedian and pioneer car builder and mechanic Jay Leno brings laughter and his love of classic cars to Cruisin’ the Coast on Saturday, Oct. 8 at 8 p.m. in Beau Rivage Theatre.

Leno served as the host of the #1 rated, “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” for two decades. He is the recipient of many honors, including Emmy, People’s Choice, and TV Guide awards, a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, being the first person to drive the pace car of all major NASCAR events as well as many other accolades.

Leno currently produces and is host of the CNBC primetime series “Jay Leno’s Garage.” The show 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.

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. In his spare time, he enjoys working on his collection of classic cars and motorcycles. He has built several cars, including an eco-car in his eco-friendly green garage.

Tickets for Jay Leno’s performance are $49.50, $59.50, $75 and $95 plus tax and service fee and are available for purchase at the Beau Rivage Box Office, by phone at 888.566.7469 or online at www.beaurivage.com.
