Leno’s late-night television ratings dominated the airwaves for over two decades on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," which won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy, Variety or Music Series and took home the trophy for Favorite Late-Night Show in the annual TV Guide Awards determined by voting viewers. Leno was also recently installed in the Television Academy's Broadcast Hall of Fame.

But Leno is often characterized as “the hardest working man in show business.”  That could be because he was not only an acclaimed late-night TV host, but also an admired stand-up comedian, best-selling children’s book author, in-demand corporate speaker, voice-over artist, pioneering car builder and mechanic, and a philanthropist.  

Having passed the torch of The Tonight Show succession to Jimmy Fallon, Leno has increased his customary busy schedule of comedy performances in top venues around the United States and abroad. He also continues his Emmy-winning web venture relating to his passion for automobiles, Jay Leno’s Garage.

His performance at The Peace Center in downtown Greenville is scheduled for Friday, March 20, 2020, at 8pm.  Tickets will cost $65 to $95.  They may be purchased online at www.peacecenter.org, in person at the box office or by calling 864-467-3000 or 800-888-7768.  They will go on sale for Peacekeepers on Monday, June 10, at 10am.  The public can purchase tickets starting Friday, June 14, at 10am.
