TALK THAT TALK

JAY LENO Before Jay Leno succeeded Johnny Carson as host of The Tonight Show, the New York-born comedian cut his teeth in the 1970s comedy scene. Once he stepped down as the Tonight host (by then renamed The Jay Leno Show) in 2010, the now-66-year-old Leno delved deeper into his love of collecting vintage automobiles and gave his standup another spin. Now the Emmy Award-winning comedian heads to Northeast Florida to offer his take on observational humor. 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 14, Thrasher-Horne Center for the Arts, Orange Park, $63-$123, thcenter.org.
