Jay's Day

Having a long and successful career as a late night TV show host ain't easy. Just ask SNL's Dennis Miller. The wise-cracking comic didn't last long in the cutthroat environment. So Jay Leno deserves credit for ruling the late-night airwaves for 22 years. Leno, who's a helluva standup comic, has now gone back to his roots. According to our records, he's never performed on a Playhouse Square stage, so tonight's show at the State Theatre should be a real treat. He takes the stage at 7:30 and tickets are $35 to $100.
