Things to do this weekend: Jay Leno talks performance at newly restored bergenPAC
Jay Leno will be crusing through Englewood, New Jersey, on march 8, 2023, for a performance to reopen the newly restored Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC) and talked to FOX 5's Ryan Kristafer about the event.
NEW YORK - It will be a busy weekend in the Tri-State area with comedy shows and classic concerts.
Jay Leno is cruisin' through Englewood, New Jersey, on Saturday for a performance to reopen the newly restored BergenPAC.
The late night legend spoke with FOX 5’s Ryan Kristafer from his garage to chat about his upcoming standup show:
"I like performing live… I’d rather do 100 shows around the country than like one Netflix special," Leno said. "I don’t quite get that. I like interacting with the audiences."
He continued: "Hopefully we’re getting back to that. For the last decade or so it’s just email or Twitter and you don’t really talk to people. I just like the idea of interacting with people. And it’s fun to be in a room where people are laughing an enjoying a show, whether it’s a Broadway show, or a play, concert. I just think when people gather – it makes for a more fun evening."
And now to another legendary comic in our area: On Saturday night, Jerry Seinfeld will perform his record-breaking 100th residency stand up show at The Beacon Theatre.
