Comedian Jay Leno returns to the Bayou City this weekend, December 6, 2019 with a stand-up routine and more, an "Evening with Jay Leno" Leno back in the day dominated late night television after succeeding the late Johnny Carson on NBC's "Tonight Show".

Leno moves into Jones Hall amist controversy. It involes a joke the former late night comedian told during his guest judge appearance on NBC's show "America's Got Talent". The joke was about Koreans eating dogs. The way the story goes, Leno walked past a painting of one of the show’s judges and executive producer Simon Cowell surrounded by his dogs. Leno joked that Cowell looked at the dogs like they were “on the menu at a Korean restaurant.”
