Friends of Big Joe Fundraiser - hosted by KEVIN NEALON starring JAY LENO
Friends of Big Joe is a series of comedy shows for KEVIN NEALON's close friend Joe Kenny - Big Joe. Joe was recently diagnosed with metastatic squamous cell skin cancer, "in transit." You think it's hard to say, try living with it!
Before JAY LENO followed in the footsteps of legendary NBC late-night hosts Steve Allen, Jack Paar and Johnny Carson as the host of the Emmy Award-winning and top-rated "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," he honed his comedy in clubs all over the country, often exceeding 300 dates per year. He opened for the likes of Tom Jones and John Denver, and after moving to Los Angeles he began his career in television and film, both writing behind the scenes and making appearances in shows such as "Welcome Back Kotter" and films including "American Hot Wax." On March 2, 1977, Leno made his first appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" and was named permanent guest host in 1987. While he took over the desk full-time in 1992, Leno never stopped touring on the comedy circuit and still averages over 150 gigs a year.
